12月10日的迷思 / 梁嘉善 - 20241208 - 作家專欄
【明報文章】有朋友笑說，有人就有「人」權問題，大小問題都可扯上人權。當代常見的解讀方法，就把人權連上一系列共同原則和價值觀，例如1948年各國一同立下《世界人權宣言》作為「世界自由、正義與和平的基礎」（也因此每年12月10日都定為國際人權日，紀念《宣言》的誕生）。人權既可嘗試用文字和法律條文去定義，又可變成獨特的視角去審視社會現象。

Can we redefine #professionalism without the aesthetic inflation? What if we celebrated competence over appearances? #Beauty #Workplace
I want to ignore beauty culture. But I’ll never get anywhere if I don’t look a certain way
Beauty improves only some qualities of life and demands high investment of time, money and energy, writes advice columnist Jessica DeFino

For anyone balancing work or a busy schedule: #volunteering, even for a few hours, can be rewarding and refreshing. Spent some time volunteering at the #BillericayFoodbank for the Christmas bag collection today. A chance to step away from work and contribute to something bigger than yourself 💪

My first #Bluesky post. Social media platforms play a crucial role in amplifying voices. I always value a free and fair digital public square. (All voices matter!!!) Excited to connect with a huge community here and see how we work with this platform.
