flooding is destroying the meager shelters palestinians have built for themselves. sahar and her family desperately need warm shelter before the weather gets even worse--please help if you can!!
I beg you help my family😭💔💔
Our tent flooded today. Cold water rushed inside while my children stood shaking, and I had nothing to protect them with. Please, we beg you—help my family find a warm shelter before winter gets harsher. Any support could save us tonight. 💔❄️

When people say that Wuthering Heights doesn't have anything to do with race or that no film has engaged with race, what they mean is that for them Romani people do not count and they also haven't been paying attention.

The apparent ‘death’ of corporate consulting is interesting to me because in some ways, the whole purpose of bullshit jobs is to optimise the ‘low stake puzzle solving’ to ‘disposable resource for the fun times as we evolved for’ ratio.
Especially if we’re not going to fund the public sector…

Hi everyone, my sweet little dog had a really gruesome freak accident yesterday. Survived it pretty miraculously, but my partner and I are broke and facing new medical debt in order to make that possible. Any help would mean a great deal 🖤🙏

The amazing thing about design frameworks is they show just *how much* thinking you still have to do.
I find it so exciting! It’s like they illuminate the gaps in the chaotic brambles - the idea that there’s no place for design is so wrong it’s funny.

Brianna Ghey was murdered by someone who went to her school. Maybe we should ban schools, not phones?

Hoping the Bakerloo extension continues the last gasp and is the deciding factor that leads to the eventual constitutional formation the (probably aquatic) republic of Londonistan.
Jubilee Line and then Elizabeth Line are like the final flowering of a broadly sane consensus about public investment and a culture on the front foot bsky.app/profile/last...
The Elizabeth Line in London is interesting because it is concrete proof that it is actually possible for the state in the UK to do something good, like just straightforwardly it's a useful addition to our public transport infrastructure that works well and looks nice. So why are most things crap?

I mean I don’t “trust” *any* governments reporting on their climate action but:
a) noting what they feel they can officially say (ie get away with saying)
b) they feel it’s important to say it
c) having references to cross-analyse
Is still useful snd important. Between those lies the facts 🤷🏾♀️
