The Foreign Office has just stated that UK taxpayers have funded projects overseas which have given fresh water to over 63 million people around the world.

What a shame that the Govt can’t do the same for its own 67 million people.

Fission is in the news, but few recognize that a woman physicist was behind the discovery.

Lise Meitner’s brilliance led to the discovery of nuclear fission. But her long time collaborator Otto Hahn, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry w/o her in 1944, even though she had given the first theoretical explanation.

Albert Einstein called Meitner “our Marie Curie." She also adamantly refused to work on the atomic bomb during WWII. https://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/201502/physicshistory.cfm #women #history #science #HistoryRemix

A family in the Matanuska Valley in #Alaska built an igloo! They used food dye to make the bricks of ice (yes, they froze bread pans of ice & used snow as "mortar.) in different colors. Super fantastic job! Photos by a very proud mom & no, I am not related! 💗

Imagine being a govt so lacking in moral values that you prefer to spend £150m trying to stop the poor from voting rather than help the poor out of poverty (to deal with a near non-existent threat … there was ONE CASE of the fraud new law “deals with”) https://inews.co.uk/opinion/tory-voter-id-laws-attempt-rig-elections-not-improve-them-2020327

Tory voter ID laws look like an attempt to rig our elections, not improve them

It’s not too late to avoid the disenfranchisement of the poor and the young before the next general election

Did you know Monopoly was invented by a woman named Elizabeth Magie in 1903?

Originally ‘The Landlord’s Game,’ it was designed as a protest against the big monopolists like Carnegie & Rockefeller.

But it was Charles Darrow, an unemployed salesman, who eventually sold it to Parker Brothers after playing a version.

Parker Brothers credited Monopoly with saving their company. Magie died in 1948 without recognition. Darrow became very wealthy & his legend lives on. #history #women #HistoryRemix
