Am I really overwhelmed all the time? 👀

Or do I also want people to think I’m at my limit so that I have an easy excuse for not doing the parts of activism that take me out of my comfort zone?

❗There have been over 400 days of protests in Georgia - and we have barely heard about it.

While we're focused on the downfall of democracy in the US, the rise of authoritarianism is already happening closer to home 🇬🇪

NEW: You are not broken for struggling under capitalism 👀

Sure it might be ADHD or vitamin D making you tired. And it might be the relentless pressure to 'girlboss' in a capitalist patriarchy 🤷‍♀️

It's #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek 💫 - but are we really celebrating neurodiversity beyond corporate LinkedIn posts?

True neurodivergent celebration means resisting capitalism 👇🧵

❓ How do we make panel events be less boring? How do we stop that one guy who soapboxes for 10 minutes in the Q&A section?

Started my day w/ a great discussion led by Bump w/ @annagumbau.bsky.social @kobiebrett.bsky.social & colleagues on how to make Brussels events actually good.

My takeaways 👇

Huge turnout for #InternationalWomensDay in Brussels 💜🩷💚

The fight to defend women's rights doesn't start & end with marches and stickers. But showing up is a good start ✊

💫 I've started working as a Media Officer on Inequality & Global Economic Change for @oxfaminternational.bsky.social 💫

I've been a full-time freelancer earning under minimum wage for 4 years❗but there is no outworking the fact that the richest 1% own more wealth than 95% of humanity combined. 👇(1/)

Packed bar at the Brussels #ClimateDrinks last night 💚🙌

We at @thegreenfix.bsky.social organise the climate drinks to create spaces where we can connect as people, not job titles.

In the climate movement, we are more united than divided - and our differences make us stronger. 🌱

AI uses more energy than entire countries (and I still write better than ChatGPT). Plus, the case for staying on online platforms to organise.

🌱 it's crucial to speak up online & offline to provide alternatives to far-right misinformation 🌱

Political agendas in the US & the #EU are promoting radically sexist narratives to legitimise repealing women's rights.

We need to inoculate against radicalisation into extreme #misogyny 👀
