I used to get told that wide smiles are not good to assert authority in #leadership particularly for women.

I’ve not fought my way to professorship to adhere to stereotypes. I did it to rock the boat of such nonsense 😃

"This is going to have to be resisted on the streets, through campaigns and through industrial action. We can’t do that alone. We need everyone with us."

Mick Lynch: ‘The Government’s New Anti-Union Laws Are a Form of Conscription’

RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch on the government's latest anti-union laws, why they undermine our democratic rights – and how we fight back.

this goes out to everyone whose accomplishments this year aren't visible. the ones who prioritised rest over the rat race, who rebuilt themselves, ground up, cell by cell.

those who caressed their scars & found the space to heal. the ones who found reasons to smile in a world that makes you scream. those who danced again, sang again, found a moment of grace. if you felt joy in being able to pause, in being able to breathe—

you lived this year, too. and how beautiful it is that you did. 💚

If you're argument against nurses going on strike is "but patient safety" then you have misunderstood what the strike is about.

#LongCovid resources

As my exhaustion is relentless, my plan of making a document w/ #LongCovid resources across countries needs to be postponed.

Some wonderful people sent me links for websites w/adequate information, & I will post some of them below:

Trying to get a Christmas photo to go in keyrings so hard to get them all together, worse than kids 🤣 think I did a great job in the end 😻😻😻😻

My spouse R & I have been a happy 2-person family for almost 15 years now, but in the last year or two deterioration of my mobility due to #MECFS and my increasing care needs have really put a strain on our relationship. R works all hours at 2 jobs to support us financially, cooks all our meals & does almost all the housework & animal care. Needless to say, he’s *incredibly* stressed. Hopefully with the stairlift & social worker we’re going to get some more help, but it’s hard.

@Ellemarie318 hi @Ellemarie_318 hope you are well. Nice to see you on here
Cats in training #CatsOfMastodon. This is what we're doing in our house x4 cats. Going great, only the second day and they know what to do. Now to make the hole in the tray bigger until they are using the toilet properly.
