Problems are easier to resolve with distance from devices. If you want creative and imaginative solutions disconnect the 4G and the WiFi, find some fresh air 🧘 and reconnect to your MindFi, free your thoughts and pfft 💭 #solutions #idea #MindFi #LofiWifi #creativity

Discrimination against women in science & technology is the result of centuries of patriarchy, discrimination & damaging stereotypes.
We need action to make sure women & girls can make their full contribution to the world’s knowledge & development. lemonde.fr/en/opinion/articl…

Ever 'knock wood' for luck? Do you know why?
Some think it goes back to ancient pagans who believed spirits inhabited trees. Tapping on the trunk either summoned their blessings or kept them from causing trouble! #FolkloreThursday

To turn the tide on sewage pollution, we need robust regulation and a strict regulator. Instead of strengthening ocean protections, the government is actively weakening them. Enough is enough. ❌
Time to end profit over planet and people. ✊

#WorldReadAloudDay is tomorrow. Here are 6 great reasons to read aloud to kids, from writer and illustrator @Jarrett_Lerner.
ALT Reading aloud to kids...builds empathy, creates a lifelong love of reading, improves language and listening skills, facilitates important and/or difficult conversations, activates and empowers imagination, and is fun! (Comic by Jarrett Lerner, used with permission)

A new study suggests that planting more trees could almost half the number of deaths from increasingly high summer temperatures in cities, as well as tackling cardiovascular disease, dementia and poor mental health. 🌳

This is what you need to learn about failure:
It’s a bruise.
Not a tattoo.
Failure is temporary.
But for some, its scars never leave.
You fail once.
And never try again.
That is the tragedy of failure.
You want a life without risk. Playing not to lose is the riskiest bet.

Are you ready for a ‘once in a 45,000 year’ opportunity?
The Green Comet C/2022 E3 was last seen by humans in the times of the Neanderthals and it could be visible tonight but we need clear skies 🤞☁️.

A great story, which illustrates the changes in surfing that's making it much more supportive, encouraging & welcoming of women in all kinds of lineups. Things aren't perfect but this is a nice shift in the kinds of experiences many women have had
