I have a senior role at my company, have attended many leadership training seminars, and learned all the leadership philosophies and buzzwords. None of them work as well as simply asking myself "what would an arsehole do in this situation?" and then doing the exact opposite.

ME: omg i have so much to do today

BRAIN: best i can do is none of it so that you don’t feel bad for only doing some of it

ME: that doesn’t make any sense

BRAIN: don’t tell me how to do my job

I think it was Billy Connelly who said something about just wanting to be a politician should automatically ban you from being one, and he definitely had a point.

Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia.

As a gay man, I lived through Section 28. I remember how painful it was.

Now, the culture war targeting trans people, questioning their right to even exist, feels even crueller.

Solidarity. Always. 🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Boss of a small regional office decided that he liked the idea of everyone staying an extra 10 mins after their shifts to fill in an online form listing five things they did that day. He changed his mind very quickly after just one email from Unite the Union. Join a union.

The last photo of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, detained after refusing to abandon his colleagues and patients.

In just one image, we see both the power of Palestinian humanity and the moral weakness of all those complicit in genocide.

End all arms sales to Israel, now.

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

I have 214.6K followers, and I figure at least some of them are looking to gift books this holiday season, so:

HEY AUTHORS OF BLUESKY: In the comments to this post, tell us (briefly!) about your most recent book, and put in a link to where people can learn more and/or buy the book in question.

Go!

I don’t condone murder, but I damn well hope the billionaire class realizes after the killing of the UHC CEO that their fear & outrage mean nothing to a world crushed by their greed & cruelty. After all the devastation they’ve unleashed on countless lives, why should anyone care about their pain?

When 12 people were k!lled in Charlie Hebdo attacks, World Leaders thronged to Paris for a Solidarity March.

But no world leader has organised a march to protest killing more than 100,000 civilians, 30,000 children, 207 UN aid workers, and 171 journalists in Gaza. #gaza #palestine
