British officials are seeking to extradite Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan after the pair were arrested in Miami Read more: www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...

In the public sector when women make complaints at work they are punished. This serves to stop the person complaining & warns others to stay silent. We are all in danger if it’s not safe to complain at work. Full Healing Gals podcast episode link below 👇 #whenwomencomplain

Hey, #Ireland -based folks: we've got a really bright pass of the #ISS coming up this evening (-3.76 magnitude, which is *bright!*), between around 23:35 and 23:44. You might want to step out and have a look! (as it seems likely it'll be clear tonight...) (data via Heavens-Above.com)

It's also available here. Please share and spread this report. Trans folks in the UK can't for fear of lawsuits by gender critical groups. drive.google.com/file/d/1UggI...

1000 evaluators given identical resumes & told candidate used AI. Only difference on resumes was candidate’s name: Emily vs James. Study found women using AI are evaluated as less competent than men who use AI...To evaluators, women’s AI use signaled inability, while men’s AI use signaled initiative
