"There is modern slavery happening right now." Migrant care workers are told to stay silent, accept poor treatment and endure exploitation because they are tied to a single employer. It's a system that traps workers with abusive employers. We need a better way. #FairVisasNow

Just realized that boro and kantha — the Japanese and Indian techniques for repairing cloth or creating new material from scraps by connecting them through a series of running stitches — looks a bit like the peeling bark on an aging tree.

A good self reminder, maybe useful for every artist (and not only).
Illustration of a tower split into two parts. The left side shows a complete, colored tower labeled "Everything you can do". The right side shows an incomplete, grayed-out tower with only a few colored bricks at the bottom, labeled "Everything you can do today".

Today I learned that baby cranes are called "colts" because their legs are so long and they can run around like idiots shortly after hatching. This is delightful, I enjoy knowing this.

BP exiting the North Sea is a big moment in the history of the industry and Scotland’s economy. It’s been a long time coming, and marks an end to over a century of petroleum activities and more than 50 years of North Sea drilling. BP’s exit cannot be explained by short term tax policy changes 🧵

British Journal of Psychiatry: Thirty-two experts find no evidence #ADHD is being overdiagnosed www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...
Experts have challenged Health Secretary Wes Streeting's assertion that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is overdiagnosed in the UK.
A paper in the British Journal of Psychiatry, authored by 32 experts, warns that “alarmist” rhetoric about overdiagnosis could prevent individuals from receiving necessary care.
While diagnosis rates have increased, particularly since 2020, experts suggest this reflects heightened awareness and a 'catch-up' for years of under-recognition, with rates still below the estimated population prevalence.
The primary concern highlighted is the unacceptably long waiting times for ADHD diagnosis, support, and treatment within the NHS, rather than overdiagnosis.
Untreated ADHD carries significant risks, including accidental injuries, suicide, substance misuse, and an increased risk of death, according to Professor Samuele Cortese, the lead author.

I'd go so far as saying extending paid parental leave to over a year each — combined with free childcare (because every parent needs breaks!), that would put a lot less pressure on the childcare system (which takes years to remedy) and reduce specialised or community provision being reduced.

There are three things which would be absolute game-changers for supporting parents: - Extending paternity leave to three months instead of two weeks - Free childcare from birth to primary school - Free school meals If you're not talking about even steps towards these you're not being serious.

A lucet fork is a tool dating back to the Viking & Medieval periods, when it was used to create cords that were used on clothing or to hang items from belts. Lucet cord is square, strong, and slightly springy. I'm using my tiny lucet to make a draw string for the sweater I'm currently #knitting.

I deeply agree that I want more people from the RPG world working with mainstream publishers. I don't want to frame it as something people can just decide to to. Working with a large corporation is always a situation where the artist has very little control over what happens.
