Occasionally asked why/how I got into crowdfunding, this will be my answer from now on:

Andrew Bailey: "£250? That's absurd. You can't build meaningful wealth with such a trivial amount—"

@Philip_DT @theiaincameron The SFA 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, FAW 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, IFA 🇮🇪 (now represents Northern Ireland) and FA 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 are much older than FIFA and these four created the IFAB which gave football all the rules and cannot be changed without their consent. Basically is a privilege to them for being organized before FIFA existed.

@CallieMac009 @crit_gen @WWWheesht @gracebrod1e Oh. You mean Pyla?
Came round the local estates a couple of weeks ago, while I was the unpaid gardener… no chat, no hesitation as she passed the gate.
Looked as if it was a sprint to drop the flyers before the natives could engage.

This is challenging listening
But for anyone uninformed about the power imbalance in the 70s80s 90s workplace, it’s a useful crib note ⤵️

Men vs Women’s hurdles: what do you think?

Is it time to raise them? Or are the two just completely different sports?

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

Fmr. NIH Director Francis Collins deliberately scrubbed Fauci’s name from the infamous Proximal Origins paper because of Fauci’s glaring conflict of interest.

Nature Medicine (the publisher) offered no condemnation or scrutiny of the ethics.

These COVID investigations matter because they expose protectionism within the scientific community that breeds gatekeeping. It's suppressing research, stifling innovation, destroying objectivity, & eroding public trust.

@MerrynSW I once bought a share in Apple, which wasn’t expected to last the year. £12 plus the gift pack

@LucyHunterB @BlackIslePMD As someone else pointed out, “disinformation” more appropriate.

[Amanda Boyle 🏴‍☠️💚🤍💜 @nowaffle]

@Docstockk Writers write anything but an apology for this ⤵️

[Amanda Boyle 🏴‍☠️💚🤍💜 @nowaffle]

All those “feminists” you’d think a proper apology 🤷🏼‍♀️

Or maybe meeting “Sophie” to get her view of the world? 🙄

Can’t share the post by @Docstockk it was deleted

[Julie Bindel @bindelj]

I got this one wrong.

Found it.
@Docstockk has gone quiet 🤐

[Iain Cameron @theiaincameron]

@thecourieruk Disinformation, not misinformation. Misinformation implies doing it by mistake, rather than wilfully, which is disinformation.

Just a day on Raasay…

@ForWomenScot @ScotGovFM Sometimes it’s not “lobbying” but staying silent. 🤫

[Amanda Boyle 🏴‍☠️💚🤍💜 @nowaffle]

Oh.

Might that include an apology to “Sophie”?

Thought not.

Every single person who still cringes at the memory of trying to bullshit their way through an interview or exam question: today, the slate is wiped clean. Set down your burden of shame. Nothing - nothing, I say - could touch this.

With the benefit of the doubt, I will assume The Herald is following the journalistic mantra:

Let them keep talking… …

[The Herald @heraldscotland]

'When people see people in positions of power who belong to the marginalised identities that they've only seen in quiet corners, there is an element of pride there'

Scotland's first openly non-binary MSP has said they hope more transgender people will seek election 👇

[Ben Cooper @bencooper]

@heraldscotland If it’s an identity you can voluntarily identify in and out of, it’s not marginalised.

[WheeshtCraft @Dis_Critic]

As someone who grew up in a housing scheme in Glasgow, I find it obscene that rich men get to invent their oppression- a glamorous oppression- the lanyard classes can 'address' rather than addressing real poverty, desperation and inequality. Shame on the complicit.

In the dead of night the Scots arrived at the Airbnb across the street. Decked out and playing the pipes at 6:30 am. So it begins…

[Jane Waring @CreeAnt]

A Labour voter all my life (71 now) but I have never felt as ashamed of @UKLabour as I do now, watching MPs queue up to explain why they’re abandoning women, proving that they’re happy for my granddaughters to have fewer rights in future than I have had. Wretched cowards all.
