Problems are easier to resolve with distance from devices. If you want creative and imaginative solutions disconnect the 4G and the WiFi, find some fresh air 🧘 and reconnect to your MindFi, free your thoughts and pfft 💭 #solutions #idea #MindFi #LofiWifi #creativity

Discrimination against women in science & technology is the result of centuries of patriarchy, discrimination & damaging stereotypes.

We need action to make sure women & girls can make their full contribution to the world’s knowledge & development. https://t.co/BJBUWUzdfa

Here’s to strong women ❤️ May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them

Ever 'knock wood' for luck? Do you know why?

Some think it goes back to ancient pagans who believed spirits inhabited trees. Tapping on the trunk either summoned their blessings or kept them from causing trouble! #FolkloreThursday

Look beyond ingrained and reinforced perceptions; step outside, look around and make your own local connection

Years 7, 8 & 9 doing work towards raising awareness and activism for creating change. Here is an example from @sascampaigns ⬇️ ✌🏻

[Surfers Against Sewage @sascampaigns]

To turn the tide on sewage pollution, we need robust regulation and a strict regulator. Instead of strengthening ocean protections, the government is actively weakening them. Enough is enough. ❌

Time to end profit over planet and people. ✊

A new study suggests that planting more trees could almost half the number of deaths from increasingly high summer temperatures in cities, as well as tackling cardiovascular disease, dementia and poor mental health. 🌳

This is what you need to learn about failure:

It’s a bruise.
Not a tattoo.

Failure is temporary.
But for some, its scars never leave.

You fail once.
And never try again.

That is the tragedy of failure.
You want a life without risk. Playing not to lose is the riskiest bet.

Are you ready for a ‘once in a 45,000 year’ opportunity?
The Green Comet C/2022 E3 was last seen by humans in the times of the Neanderthals and it could be visible tonight but we need clear skies 🤞☁️.

A great story, which illustrates the changes in surfing that's making it much more supportive, encouraging & welcoming of women in all kinds of lineups. Things aren't perfect but this is a nice shift in the kinds of experiences many women have had
