Hi! I'm back from maternity leave and already getting stuck in to some fantastic projects.
As this represents something of a natural break point, I've decided to move to Mastodon and focus my efforts there and on LinkedIn.

Excellent webinar by @Survival! Thank you to all those involved.
We should all be doing our bit to end fortress #conservation (a false solution) and further #IndigenousRights.

#Sustainability #Biodiversity
'What's fortress #conservation?' I hear you wonder...
It's when people are forced off their #land, the land that sustains their culture and way of life, to create protected areas based on the false premise that people are separate from nature, that people-free #nature exists.
Another cheap and easy recipe for #Veganuary2023.
Soup
1-2 x Onion
4 x Celery sticks
1 x Large carrot
3-4 Garlic cloves
5-6 Cups of carrots/mushrooms/cauliflower/broccoli/pumpkin/celeriac/etc.
1 tin/1 cup Cooked beans or dried red lentils
Herbs and spices
1 x Veg stock cube
...
I like to add white beans to white or green veg soups (cauliflower, celeriac, broccoli), black beans to darker soups (mushroom) and red lentils to red veg soups (carrot, pumpkin, tomato).
Lots of people worry about protein in a vegan diet. Beans are your friend!
...
Eating less meat (and going vegan) is a cheap and easy way to reduce your carbon footprint, not to mention the animal welfare benefits, so this #Veganuary2023 I'll share some of my favourite recipes.
1. Bean stew (great with pasta or rice)
Add to a slow cooker/large pot:
...
1 chopped large onion
3-4 tins of different beans
2 tins of chopped tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato paste
A pack of chopped superfirm tofu or vegan sausages (optional)
3 bay leaves
1 veg stock cube
2-3 tsp heaped paprika
2 tsp dried oregano
Cook low until thick.
Serves 5-7, freezes well!
This is my last working day until the new year. So I thought I should get my 2022 highlights down and share what's coming in 2023.
I hope you all have a relaxing, enjoyable break in the coming weeks and I wish everyone the best start to 2023!

Reflections on the @bondngo #PowerInDev Conference. 🧵
A practical point on making antiracism part of our work:
#Translation #AntiRacism
💭 This is equally relevant when it comes to gender neutral language and stereotypes. Translators are in a unique position to gently present alternatives to authors alongside the reasoning for using less exclusionary terms.
#InclusiveLanguage
💭 Translators and editors can also challenge language that excludes others due to its complexity and use of jargon. They can advocate for clear language as inclusive language, language that builds #solidarity, rather than alienating those not in the "in" group.
#ClearLanguage
