Reading an article in Women’s Running magazine about safety and how many female runners feel vulnerable in the day even though you might think it feels safer than running in the dark.

I have experienced a fair bit of unwanted attention from male strangers while running or walking alone, from cat calling to being asked to be a drunk man’s girlfriend in an otherwise empty park (bit scary), to a teenager slapping my arse and trying to pull me into the bushes. Only the other day a man in group of other white men in their 20s mimicked my running in a sarcastic way as I ran past them in the street.

A friend of mine I met of Twitter actually experienced a man sticking his foot out to deliberately trip her while she was running. She sustained cuts to her face and her confidence in her main psychological wellbeing technique was serious dented.

Why can’t men just let women walk, hike or run in peace??

I missed last month's #solarpunk essay from @AndrewDanaHudson , but I think the 10-year-check-in is a worthy read:

It would be nice if @peertube could add the ability to put your own language on videos. Right now, there is a list of languages, which are perhaps the most popular, but it doesn't include every language in the world. For example, I'm uploading a film in Acholi, but there is no option to specify that this is the language.

Update: I see Kiswahili now, was a user interface thing as it was hidden. #peertube

🧵 Some random thoughts about #journalism, #journalists #media, #socialMedia as echo chambers, and our ability to change from #nagScrolling to #solutions.

Have you ever noticed that people get upset about bad journalism or claim that ‘the’ media are not reporting something? They post (supposed) evidence. Who gets the attention? (a good question before boosting!)

In advance: Yes, if we analyze something bad for learning, we need these links and proofs. But I don't talk about that. I talk about
