Friday’s workshop was a joy to host. ☺️ We brought together researchers and activists to talk about LGBTQ+ criminalization, discrimination at work and in parenting, dating bias, and how the far right weaponizes LGBTQ issues. Grateful to everyone involved and to VU's VICES for the support. 🏳️‍🌈

Dus er wordt minder bezuinigd op onderwijs en dat wordt gedekt door bezuinigingen op…je verwacht het niet…tromgeroffel…. Onderwijs???? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦 nos.nl/artikel/2547...

Afzwakken bezuinigingen onderwijs deels betaald door onderwijs zelf
Over het deels terugdraaien van de eerdere bezuinigingen op onderwijs zijn de partijen het in grote lijnen eens.

New article in Journal of Communication looking at changes to trust in news across 46 countries in the last 10 years. Trust in news declined in just over half of countries. It decreased more in countries where TV news use has declined, and/or where social media news use has grown. A thread:
