Freelance comms consultant for global social impact, & a netball-playing, feminist Mum. Currently working on the issue of dis/misinformation with the IPIE
Searing insight from @carolecadwalla "Forget 'internet culture'. The internet is culture. And this is where this election was fought and won … long before a single person cast a ballot." But "We can and must fix this." @pnhoward #IPIE@WebSummit@shimelfarb
The International Panel on the Information Environment will launch their flagship Expert Survey highlighting the threats posed by #socialmedia ownership, and #AI at #UNGA today @pnhoward @SebaValenz@MelissaFleming @whkchun

With a gender pay gap of 10.7%, Equal Pay Day falls on 22nd November this year – TODAY is the day in the year when, based on average pay, women overall stop being paid compared to men. Further stats and analysis from the brilliant org that is @fawcettsociety
Day 2 at the #FemNet4GTE
Opening remarks from @AminaJMohammed, DSG, @UN. Calls for the power of friendship to fight patriarchy from @UNICEF and rallying cry for goals beyond just reading, writing and counting for a more just world. #Equality not parity @UN_Women@UNGEI
#Femnet4GTE so much more than good signage… A global gathering of 120+ feminists asking tough questions. If the patriarchy is learnt, how do we unlearn it? @UNGEI
BBC team reporting from Gaza find dozens of neighbours & friends among the injured & dead in Al-Shifa Hospital. Exceptional reporting - at a huge personal cost - from @adnanelbursh@Rushdibbc & many others in Gaza.
NW #Syria in a state of catastrophe after 7.8 magnitude #earthquake. Destruction, devastation, and collapse of buildings. Hundreds of injuries, dozens of deaths, many trapped under the rubble or stranded in the winter cold. We call on the international community to take action.
These are just some of the stories I've received in less than 24 hours.
Stories you won't see in the news because GPs are lazy, the nurses are greedy and midwives already got a payrise, so why are they moaning?!!!
Stories that are probably not the worst of it

This is such a total disgrace that significantly undermines this platform as a space to share/access factual information.
👏 @rachelschraer, an excellent example of who is likely to crawl back!

OK, so when @drsimonwilliams asked me to help with this I couldn't say no! Thanks @Phoebe_Roth for keeping us in line...
Hopefully this makes sense and might remind people to take care...there is so much to cover we could probably start serialising this!
