How can we make the UK a fairer and more inclusive place to live and work? Think differently. Do differently. Software engineer, physicist, yogi, she/her

@Independent I'll make sure I have my ID the next time I buy glitter. I'm assuming straight people will also have to wait until 21 before coming out as straight

Please sign and share this petition. Excluding trans people from the conversion therapy ban is a green light to bully and intimidate trans people into suppressing our identities https://t.co/td0tMA2GNv

Had the opportunity to give my company a talk on unconscious gender bias. Understanding the origins and functioning of patriarchal heteronormative narratives and how they condition us helps to #BreakTheBias

@alisapower I was on a very similar zoom event on that day when exactly the same was said by one of the speakers. A little awkward to say the least. The understanding of equality on the right is it's own special thing

This sounds doable. Each one of us needs to plant one tree every 4 months for 9 years. Farmers, when PYO is out of season, offer GYO. I'll very happily go to a field, dig a hole, plant a tree and pay a tenner

[Welsh Government Climate Change @WGClimateChange]

Woodland creation plays a key role in climate resilience. Wales needs to plant 86m trees over the next nine years to help reach Net Zero by 2050.

Earlier this year @Amanwy visited @Stumpupfortrees where the local community is working with farmers to bring multiple benefits.

Gillian, who has 6 buy-to-lets in Wales, told The Telegraph: “Rent controls will just drive landlords out of the market...We have talked about starting to sell up". Gillian, you have my full support. Please go ahead.

[Nation.Cymru @NationCymru]

Landlords are unhappy about a plan to establish rent controls in Wales, which they claim will force them to "sell up" their properties https://t.co/9d4YHNvx6u

Loving how we are #RethinkingWork in Wales. Employers get more by providing flexibility as opposed to just demanding it

[Chwarae Teg @chwaraeteg]

In 2019 we spoke to employers and employees about the way we organise workplaces. They told us that we need ways of working that offer choice, autonomy and flexibility. #RethinkingWork

This is a positive step away from old school tribal politics. We need dialogue and not just debate. There are progressive elements in both parties that can work well together

[Welsh Government @WelshGovernment]

Today, we are announcing a Co-operation Agreement with @Plaid_Cymru.

What does this mean? You can read more about it here ⬇️

Imagine having to complete this 30 minute guide before your Twitter account was set-up. We'd all be a lot happier and enriched by our interactions. Our online environment makes miscommunication easier and "acts against the evolution of trust" https://t.co/7xoviC7Vhl

@Felix_F_Fern Although small, they are highly effective in adapting the narratives of the far right and having them widely distributed by the BBC and our other mainstream media. How do they do it? It's their skill in story telling. It doesn't have to be true. It just needs to be compelling.

[Jennifer Charles @dragonthinking]

Bigot groups threatening to derail the #TDOR gathering at the Senedd didn't show up.

Peaceful.

Reading in Vice @Felix_F_Fern saying "I refuse to be restricted by the expectations of boring people ever again."

Yes, refuse. This is how we honour our dead.

[Jennifer Charles @dragonthinking]

375 trans people were killed in the last year due to hatred and intolerance. This is an increase on the previous year.

This is why we need @WelshGovernment to press ahead with plans to make Wales the most trans friendly nation in Europe.
#TransgenderDayofRemembrance #TDOR

[Pride Cymru @PrideCymru]

For #TransgenderDayofRemembrance on Sat 20 November, the Welsh Trans Alliance will be hosting a vigil on the steps of the Senedd in Cardiff at 14:30. Pride Cymru’s spectacular Trans parade flag will welcome the community, with light of remembrance and hope. #TDoR #transawareness

It's must be time we started work tooling up so we can be ready to build and deploy quantum computers in Wales. The future is arriving more quickly than expected @neil_sandford any plans in Welsh govt with this? https://t.co/7Bw2LyQGtI

Get the incentives and governance right and the people who create value in the spaces they inhabit will own more of it #redefinevalue

[Jennifer Charles @dragonthinking]

What I'm loving about the crypto boom is that it is centered around communities and not corporations or property owners. Who said socialism would never work financially? #redefinevalue
