Of course all other eu citizens can sign the initiative against conversion Therapy as well, and should! You don't even need to live in the EU. (I signed from the UK 🙄😢)
Wie hat Deutschland für diese Initiative noch nicht den minimum threshold erreicht?! Conversion Therapy zu verbieten ist doch ein no-brainer! Es fehlen nur noch 37.000 Unterschriften, das sollte doch zu schaffen sein. German Queers und allies, wo seid ihr?

We had made so much progress getting work life balance right during the pandemic. And now every week I have a colleague show up in work meetings despite being on annual leave. Why? What's going on here?!

I've written up my key insights from #cop29 for @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social.
In a nutshell: If we want #citizenscience insights to add value to the COP process, we need to adapt our language, and consider a new set of metrics beyond the SDGs.

Living with an invisible disability sucks again today: my laptop bag is a small trolley, because I'm not able to carry a rucksack (or anything, really). And because it has rolls, I just nearly kicked kicked off my (booked, first class, railair) coach.
