I cannot ever stop tearing my hair out about climate activists being labelled 'unrealistic' when the fossil fuel business bros persistently do shit like this

The potential saboteur should discover what types of faults are normally found in their kind of work and should then devise their sabotage so as to enlarge that 'margin for error.'
This bit in particular….
“Managers have a comprehensive 360º view of an employee’s safety in one location, including contact details, medical information, voice notes and activity timers. You can also see device specific information such as battery life, last known position and serial number.”
….seems quite oppressive
So… my workplace has decided the we all need to carry a #peoplesafe tracker/alert gizmo to keep us safe while lone working
Makes me feel surveilled.
Anyone know anything about this stuff?

It is 222 A.D. You are the transgender Empress Elagabalus, "call me not a man for I am a woman". Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 1776. You are "Public Universal Friend", a transmasculine nonbinary Quaker. Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 1906. You are Karl M. Baer, a trans man undergoing sex reassignment. Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 1930. You are Lili Elbe. Transitioning is new and experimental. (to be fair you did get a uterus transplant.)
It is 1966. You are in Compton's Cafeteria with a bunch of other trans people when the owners call the cops to throw you all out. You riot. Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 1969. You are Marsha "pay it no mind" Johnson. You are in a mob-run gay bar when the cops attack. You throw a brick. There is a bit of a scuffle. Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 2026. You are a transgender adult or child listening to the NYT and British Guardian claim this is the first generation anyone has tried transitioning in. Transitioning is new and experimental.

We've been on X/Twitter for many years, but it's time to reduce our activity there and instead promote Mastodon as our main social media channel now. So we've done just that: https://x.com/LibreOffice/status/2026204949760131158 – Welcome to all our new followers here 😊
Here’s a choice: either the council sprays poison on your street to kill the “weeds” or you can do it yourself with scrapers and hoes. Either way your street-level biodiversity is slaughtered.
Still find it hard that our Labour council went back on its election pledge and re-introduced glyphosate. Any talk of their support for nature is a lie.

#UKPolitics The Gorton and Denton byelections are this Thursday, 26th February. If you live there, have previously voted #Labour and do not want #Reform to come in: voting Green and helping Hannah Spencer win is, on this occasion, the tactical vote. But it’s also a historic vote that will shift the political discourse of the country, the Overton window, towards better, fairer politics, not further away. Vote Green! Hannah is great!

Several European countries are considering social media bans for children. We must regulate platforms, not children. We must shift the burden of safety from the children to the corporations that profit from the environment.
I urge caution:
✅ Focus on "safety by design"
✅ Demand algorithmic transparency
✅ Enforce the #DSA & #HumanRights standards
✅ Consult experts, civil society and children

Britain First, Manchester Firster!
"Just an hour after Britain First have left town, the curry houses, pizza joints, Asian restaurants, halal diners and fast food joints offering culinary delights from around the world are thriving.
Foreign-born nurses, shift workers, taxi drivers, delivery drivers and a host of others are paying taxes and helping to maintain a city built on multiracialism. Mixed race couples walk hand in hand. The famous Village thrives. The church bells ring and the mosques continually call the faithful to prayer.
Whose city? Our city!!!"

The hostility of the Labour party to migrants steps up with Shabana Mahmood's proposal to double the time to gain settled status would double (to 20 years) if migrants have been in receipt of public funds... this is pretty grim stuff, but even more un-just would be the inclusion of in-work benefits which are in effect not to benefits for migrants but (as I have pointed out often) a subsidy to low-wage employers' profits.
This move is a disgrace!

📰 "Vienna is turning parking spaces into parks and it’s changing the city"
🗒 "The city has more than 350 projects underway to replace parking spots with green infrastructure and public areas. That includes a major street reimagined as a Dutch-style cycling corridor, where 140 parking spaces were swapped for nearly a mile of bike lanes and plants."

@clarissawam Thank you - it is rather marvellous! (Hoping I am reliable enough for it tho....)
