DCU's Prof Debbie Ging @debbieging.bsky.social said that masculinity influencers “target men and boys by manipulating anxieties about their physical appearance, about financial insecurity and about loneliness or mental health issues”. Read in @independent.ie: launch.dcu.ie/4dnNJjb

It’s so sad to read that @unamullally.bsky.social & her wife still face bigotry in Ireland. It’s awful that our long alphabet of progress (abortion, contraception, divorce, gay marriage) has ground to a hault. This govt seriously lacks ambition in this space. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

I miss the optimism and unforgettable beauty of that time, whatever ugliness came before or after

Last year, the Paris City Council passed an important democratic milestone by adopting the first bill drafted by its permanent #CitizensAssembly. In a new essay, @cchwalisz.bsky.social lays out the pioneering collaborative approach that brings citizens, politicians, and administrators together.

British meanings of “I'm fine” 1. I am actually fine, don’t worry 2. I’ll be fine in a minute, but please go away because you’re not helping 3. I've never been so cross 4. I think I’ve just broken my leg 5. My whole life has collapsed

Utterly disturbing! 🤯 Spelling errors aside: IF you’re #privileged enough to “disappear” for 1 month—let’s think: #ladies (& #gentlemen), the world is literally on fire (genocides, wars, famine, racism, sexism,...) AND: WHO wants #women to #DISAPPEAR at all & WHY? All of this for “face yoga”? 🥴✊🏽

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse. If he wants to find the rapists and criminals in this country, he should look in the mirror

Oregonians showed up yesterday to send the powerful message to Trump that we are speaking up and pushing back. There's a long road ahead, but cracks are starting to form in their attack on America. Huge thanks to everyone who showed up to push the pendulum back to a better America.

Welcome to my new office at University of Nairobi’s main campus: still some improvisation, but a lovely view, even more lovely colleagues (1 of them turned out to be not just an accomplished political philosopher but also a novelist!)—and I am starting to create some creative “work chaos” 😅.
