The international community has abandoned Palestinian children to face alone the brutality and savagery of the IOF.
Jewish soldiers detained 5 Palestinian kids at the request of illegal “Havat Maon” Jewish settlers.
The kids' crime? Gathering wild vegetables.
Shame on all of us.

Why does professional always mean conforming to confident masculine culture?
Screw that.
“Professional” is getting your job done. What’s not professional is thinking someone isn’t good at their job because they use emojis! 😤
Communication evolves, and the trajectory is to the less formal.

I'm a 6 ft cis woman who looks like the back end of a bus. My first experience of being challenged using the women's toilets was aged 16 (I don't remember it because it happens so often, but my friend who was with me does). This was in the late 70s... We have a whole new generation of nastiness now.

Great reporting by @emorwee.bsky.social & @greenmirandahere.bsky.social on why celebrity chefs are fighting PFAS bans. It's a great peek into the nefarious world of industry-driven (100% unethical) PR campaigns that Big Oil, Big Tobacco, and Big Opioid CEOs have been exploiting for decades.
Why are famous chefs fighting PFAS bans?
The answer, in retrospect, is obvious—and it’s part of a larger campaign to stop bans on Teflon cookware nationwide.

The issue is that a woman working full time on a decent salary cannot afford rent on a one bed flat and the cost of childcare to allow her to work
THAT’S what should be being called out
But the RW media don’t want people questioning THAT

Universities are in crisis, and I don’t think it’s helpful to phrase that as “exiting the market”. They’re not mid-range shoe shops, these are educational pillars in society
Chief exec of OfS 'said the OfS believes there are 24 institutions at risk of exiting the market in the next 12 months, seven of which are large providers with more than 3,000 students. There are another 25 or so institutions of various sizes at risk over a two- to three-year period, she added.'
