@dan_abramov This happened to a friend of mine at Google UK during parental leave. Google’s “loophole” was to claim their role had ceased to exist. It’s bullying: it’s incredibly hard for someone on parental leave, now stressed about finding a new job, to also consider starting legal action.

My colleague @rudokemper has been supporting this excellent work by the Ogiek to use maps to reclaim their land.

[One Earth @OneEarth]

Spearheaded by the #Ogiek org, the @CIPDPchepkitale and their women-led field mapping team, the community has mapped thousands of places & significant sites w/ support from @DigiDem & @ForestPeoplesP. Learn more: https://t.co/NWinpisCfB Funded by @Daughters4Earth 🌍♥️

[Refugee Council 🧡 @refugeecouncil]

No-one who arrives on our shores having fled war, persecution or violence should be treated like a criminal.

[Gregor MacLennan @gmaclennan]

@andrestaltz Yes indeed. Plus you can end up with clients being on a variety of versions of the database/app. Our users are offline >90% of the time so this is a real challenge to manage.

[Gregor MacLennan @gmaclennan]

@erikras “Opaque types” might help.

@Vjeux I think “sealed box encryption” might be what you are looking for https://t.co/jgvfp0L1Wq

@kelsosCorner This is the root of the problem — people use the default dataset unaware of its major flaw, and each time it further helps normalize the idea that when an aggressor invades another country, eventually everyone will get used to it and recognize the occupation as normal

The headlines from #COP26 are problematic in that they tend to take on good faith prima facie claims from the British government
