📢 📢 Non-profit friends! I’m writing an article about urgency and how non-profits approach time management. I’m keen to explore how we can reimagine time! ✍️🏾If you have a spare 5 minutes (!), I’d be grateful if you’d fill out or share this survey. forms.gle/dQskn4EzvdUbF41y6

This is so a reaction, and so absurd. I've been called 'f***ing foreigner' on Trinity Street, right at the genteel heart of oh so genteel Cambridge, by an elderly gentlement in hat and suit. The gaslighting is worse than the original episode.
My wife was racially abused this morning while walking the dog in Cambridge. Not the first time it's happened. Whenever she talks about this, the reaction she gets is 'really, in Cambridge??'. Yes, really, in Cambridge. And everywhere else in the UK too. Open your eyes.

Yes. We have the receipts. Sorry this happened to you, Leila, leaves you feeling helpless and sick.
People in Cambridge (UK) hate to hear this (due to a sense of liberal smugness) but this city is home to a lot of 'genteel' racism. It's also the site of much overt bigotry - white in a van called me a p*** on my morning dog walk. Spent my morning reporting a hate crime.

Security tags on cheese and butter in my local shop. As #CostOfLivingCrisis bites get ready for gov to start pushing narratives about ‘heroic’ volunteers & food banks in a bid to frame these as complementary rather than oppositional to govt efforts. Don’t be fooled - 1/PA

Working on feminist leadership has taught me a lot about purity, perfection... and trauma. So I wrote about it: bit.ly/3R9forq

This is amazing, essential listening. And infuriating. Like all the best stories, a collision of a few small decisions with much bigger social dominoes.
A mysterious letter shocked Britain. But who wrote it? “The Trojan Horse Affair,” hosted by @BriHReed of “S-Town” and @HamzaMSyed, is an investigation bigger than we ever imagined. All eight parts are out today. nyti.ms/3nXgOt9
