Photo opportunity on the day I forgot to wear proper footwear in public.

In another egregious act of my terribility, I was scanning the cafe to take my eyes away from my screen and I caught two glimpses of the laptop screen of some guy. The first, a credit overdraft notice. The second, a few minutes later, a 'jobs for philosophers' search page. Life in a college town.

Concernant le meurtre de #JamalKhashoggi en 2018, le président Trump a déclaré hier devant le prince héritier saoudien Mohammed ben Salmane que le dirigeant saoudien "n'était au courant de rien et qu'il fallait en rester là."

USAID cuts abruptly ended program to help people 'graduate' from poverty : Goats and Soda.

They were promised a lifeline to 'graduate' from poverty. Then it was taken away
Thousands of South Sudanese refugees and impoverished locals in Uganda saw a brighter future with a new USAID-funded project. They'd get $205 and coaching to build a business. Then came the cuts.

On les a laissé le tuer.
Cela fait 7 ans que le journaliste Jamal Khashoggi a été assassiné dans un meurtre commandité par l'État saoudien.

Les humoristes qui se produisent au Festival de l'humour de Riyad devraient demander la libération des dissidents, journalistes et militants injustement détenus.

Last month, Chad’s Ministry of Health, with support from the Reaching the Last Mile Fund, led a major effort to stop the transmission of river blindness and lymphatic filariasis. Implemented with The Carter Center’s help, the campaign treated nearly 3 million people across 29 districts. #BeatNTDs

People’s brains are fried by the 15 stories a year of a cyclist hitting a pedestrian but completely ignore the 40k per year that are killed by cars.

News is news because it’s different from the norm. But the process of reporting tricks our lizard brains into thinking what’s in the news is common.
There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

Clearly this is a #running #runningpunks #strava post, and no disrespect intended to the Norwegian 4x4 (best workout).

Here's a small example of a different way USAID cuts are impacting people around the world. Definitely worth a (quick) read!
Cuts to USAID funding meant cuts to a Carter Center project in Bangladesh, one that empowers women through access to information. Learn about the women we’ve served, what the loss of funding means, and how the Center is determined to move forward.
