I've been trying to improve my #Python knowledge, so I built a simple BSKY Post Analyser App. It analyses your posts, creates 3 different charts and even recommends the best time to post. Let me know what you think. Access it here:

I'm trying to catch up on some of my newsletters this Saturday and am really enjoying how sassy @brianklaas.bsky.social gets. Last week it was the McLaren owner parking illegally, and this week it is the so-called luminaries.

Do smugglers motivate irregular migration?
Only 4% of 60'000 migrants interviewed for a @mixedmigration.org study cited smugglers as influencing their decision to migrate.

UNHCR’s guidance on returns to Syria underscores ongoing risks: insecurity, destruction, and humanitarian crises. While supporting voluntary, informed returns, it calls on states to suspend negative asylum decisions and allow access to asylum for Syrians.

Excellent thread 👏
Hi, so I've spent the past almost-decade studying research uses of public social media data, like e.g. ML researchers using content from Twitter, Reddit, and Mastodon.
Anyway, buckle up this is about to be a VERY long thread with lots of thoughts and links to papers. 🧵

Jupiter and its moons were so visible. Betelgeuse is the red dot to the right and the Orion is just above that. Pleiades wasn't very visible to the naked eye but I'm happy with the result ✨

It's encouraging to see climate displacement gaining more attention in global media. The evidence is clear: climate change will intensify displacement worldwide, particularly in the most vulnerable regions. 👇🏻

"I will defend humanitarian values. I will defend our humanitarians and the people we're here to serve.
"We need to call time on the era of impunity. We need to stop the attacks on civilians and provide them with the protection that they deserve and that they need."

This sounds great. So many amazing people have already confirmed. Rebecca was one of the first people I reached out to when I was drafting my thesis, and Daniel is the reason I'm on BSKY. This workshop will be so fruitful.

As we mark another #TolkienReadingDay2024, the theme of service and sacrifice resonates deeply with me. Last year, I was in Ethiopia with the UN Refugee Agency to assist displaced hundreds of thousands of people.
This year, I decided to leave my job and support my partner in Fiji 🇫🇯
