Cool, the money raised can go towards paying unpaid rent in London that Twitter is now being sued for.

It depends on the situation, however I did get a call yesterday from an agency, I was out, so they left a message on the answer phone, problem is I find it really hard to write phone numbers down like this.

If they had e-mailed me too or instead I get back to people much quicker and can say I will be in on X day at between y an z time if you want to call.

Yeah one example is

Six of one, half a dozen of another, a dozen is 12 there fore 1/2 a dozen is six so 50/50. However unless you know that you're stuck

As for swings and roundabout, people are talking nonsense.

People are usually too embarrassed to ask what things mean, so just say yeah whatever and carryon.

While we should not speculate as to the reasons, perhaps back in the 80s people who were LGBTQ were around just not in the public eye as much. We then had the George Floyd murder and from that black lives matter, from this was an awakening that minority groups had numbers, those numbers had a voice and the groups that seek to abuse those communities see it as a threat as people question their retoric.

Add to all this the rise of the fedi, where those who are marginalised can feel safe, connected and are able to coordiate efforts with others.

For the bigots, the days when they could simply abuse people are fading as people are fighting back hard.

The number of people signing the petition to stop teaching abiut LGBTQ in schools is over 180k or was Monday evening shocking that really.

It seems to me that bullying is on the increase at all sort of levels, if it ism't challenged robustly (and don't give me the excuse that doing this is also bullying) then it will just carry on as the behaviour is considered normal and acceptable.

We need to teach people how to communicate and talk to each other in a way that is respectful, this really does start as a young child.

I am doing a few anti bullying courses,understanding everyone is of value and can be included is one way, it needs those at the top, schools, business large / small, or otehr instituitons to accept it is happaning and ensure the culture is one that is inclusive.

This looks really cool, we need more opportunities like this to come together and share, We need stuff like this in Devon and nothing much really seems to happen here.
