I miss the days when very rich people used their money to fund libraries, public art and philanthropic endeavors rather than launching slow-motion coups against the federal government.

Multi Use Games Areas (MUGAs) are often seen as a great way to help teenagers get ‘active’ - but 92% of users are male. Understanding why teenage girls don’t currently use MUGAs it’s important. Can MUGAs be made more inclusive? 🧵 🪡
