“More countries must recognise Palestinian statehood; any cooperation that facilitates military action must end; humanitarian aid needs to urgently reach the trapped and starving; and medical care must be available for the injured, the malnourished, and for the expectant and new mothers.”

I cannot feckin believe it
Is there some sort of curse on female centre-left leaders? #SannaMarin was the last we had after #jacindaarden and #nicolasturgeon

#youtube just delivered me an ad for #HobsonsPledge.
Its main thrust was "#ChrisHipkins is just like #JacindAarden: He doesn't believe our racist dog-whistling about #cogovernance"
Which seems like an own goal?

BBC News: End of an era as Nicola Sturgeon waves farewell BBC News
Aw Nicola. Can't blame her. She's put in a hell of a shift. More than earned the right to an easier life. Jings the abuse she gets on a daily basis, look at the toxic cess pit of responses on her Twitter account. #JacindaArden you've started a trend of female leaders stepping down on their own terms. Hope Nicola gets to read her stacks of books

Sustentabilidade é AcçãoJan 22, 2023

«Uma das críticas que enfrentei ao longo dos anos é que não sou agressiva ou assertiva o suficiente, ou talvez de alguma forma, porque sou empática, isso significa que sou fraca. Eu oponho-me totalmente a isso. Recuso-me a acreditar que não se pode ser ao mesmo tempo compassivo e forte.» Jacinda Ardern

Saying my ‘tank is empty’ doesn’t necessarily mean weakness or lack of resilience or mental illness. It may simply mean a decision to look after oneself & give more time & energy to being with loved ones. That dramatisation is part of the problem, you know. It can prevent people making healthy changes to their lives. As soon as u simply say I’v got too much on & need to take a break it’s pathologised & seen as a total breakdown & you get dramatic reactions. We should normalise it.
