New from @fullerproject.org❗ @claireprovost.bsky.social worked with @allanolingo.bsky.social Jodi Enda & others to reveal from the data the gendered impact of USAID freeze. US provided 1/4 of all global aid but much more in 2 key sectors primarily affecting women fullerproject.org/story/the-u-...

Still at #CSW69? Join me @ @woman_kind’s 12:30 ET event for a lively reflection on Beijing+30*! *For those who don’t know their feminist history, 14K people attended 4th World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995. It was there the concept of ‘human rights’ was applied to women

Israeli surveillance of Palestinian civilians' private communication used to build 100 billion-word data set to train AI model for military targeting, found to be “invasive and incompatible with human rights”, by Human Rights Watch @hrw.org #DigitalRights www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Thinking about EJ Win, the Zimbabwean feminist and champion of social justice, who died on 9 March & is being sent off today. One of the things I loved about Twitter was being able to connect with heroes like EJ who validated me by calling “sister” Get to know her: m.youtube.com/watch?v=QoLe...

Often these women journalists were among those covering the annual March 8 campaigns organized in the capital Baku. This year, they won't be in attendance, nor covering the protests.

"CSW69 is happening [in] context of dwindling funding [&] rise of anti-rights movements. There is a need for strategy, solidarity & solutions" On Monday, the UN's annual meeting on women's rights, #CSW69, began. @fullerproject.org spoke to leaders about their expectations mailchi.mp/fullerprojec...

“Despite every attempt to block our voices our stories will always live….” @jamiaawilson.bsky.social speaking about the growing trend of book bannings in the US. On screen: recently banned Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim Event: @themeteor.bsky.social’s Meet The Moment

“You can’t imagine the cyberarmy of the Islamic Republic’s attacks on me. Oh my god, I receive lots of hate.” Iran’s female diaspora are being subjected to deepfakes, AI, and digital tools to silence them abroad. newlinesmag.com/spotlight/ho...

The world is a shit show and because of it (or inspite of it) I refuse to sit on how delighted I am to be in conversation with @roxanegay.bsky.social at @debalie.bsky.social on March 8 If you don't live in Amsterdam or can't be there, the event will also be livestreamed debalie.nl/programma/ba....

Not only are these comments from Thailand’s ruling party’s “de facto leader” racist, they show a questionable understanding of biology. But from Trump to Thaksin, does it ever cost anyone politically to crap on Africans? www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/pol...

I reckon it’s not too late to say: Happy New Year everyone! May we choose to stay loving in these hateful times; to cultivate joy in these depressing times…curious and engaged in the face of all that is overwhelming or presumably final/beyond our capacity to change. The world can still be remade.

I remember a time when attacks on hospitals in Syria by the Assad regime and its Russian backers were widely (and rightly) condemned as barbaric. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Khartoum Aid Kitchen has nearly reached its fundraising target. Help it get there because while a meal can’t make right what has gone so devastatingly wrong in Sudan, it can keep hunger from getting much worse. gofund.me/efae8175

My take on all the Trump genuflection: Once you have convinced yourself you can stay silent on a genocide unfolding live on your phone, you can stay silent/make peace with pretty much anything. Israel has blown a massive hole in our moral universe and now pretty anything can drive through it.

Emperor Macron says to *French citizens* angry at slow post-cyclone relief: “You are happy to be in France. If this wasn’t France, you’d be in a bath of shit 10,000 times worse. There is no other place in the Indian Ocean where people are helped as much” 😒 www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

Marie Colvin comes up in discussion about theatre that is western war reporting. I have her collected writings. Flip it open and land on this. Colvin writing in 1996: Palestinian politicians “grimly concurred” that “the surprise election of Binyamin Netanhayu…could prove a mortal blow to peace.”

⏰ UK MPs don't know where facial recognition is being used or how it is (or isn't) governed by law. But the government wants to spend £20 million on police facial recognition systems anyway: privacyinternational.org/news-analysis/5477/uk-government-announces-tender-live-facial-recognition-technology

NYU Campus Security and Administration is totally out of control. On Wednesday - I filmed a peaceful protest in Bobst library for two hours. Yesterday at 2pm while at home, I received an email explaining that I’ve been designated “persona non grata” and banned from several buildings on campus.

NYU Administrators have once again chosen to arrest New Yorkers for peaceful protest including faculty members. Please share. Protest is ongoing

It’s been nearly a week since the end of #AWIDForum2024 in Bangkok and Team @genderbeat.bsky.social is still processing all the conversations had and connections made!

Producing a weekly newspaper from a virtual newsroom is a lesson in open communication, that's why we do reader surveys. What do you want to see more or less of? What are we getting right? What can we improve on? Please fill this one out. Thanks in advance.

Personal news: After 4 fab years building & leading CNN’s gender team, As Equals, delighted to join @fullerproject.org as Editor-in-Chief Fuller will be 10 in 2025, in a far more uncertain world. Looking forward to telling stories that connect & catalyse change. fullerproject.org/press-releas...

There’s nothing quite like the site of a man carrying a baby at a conference.

It’s been a mad mad day. exhausted and busy, I was regretting agreeing (many many months ago) to speaking at @commoncause.bsky.social’s Values in Media event. But just minutes into @elsieroderiques.bsky.social’s welcome and I already feel good to be here to share and learn from others.

Surely Googlebox is the best thing on British TV?! I love all the regional accents; the various expressions; the variety in snacks people have in front of them. Multicultural Britain at its simplest and most joyous🇬🇧

I co-sign this post. @chenjerai.bsky.social’s podcast is fantastic. Whatever your thoughts are on the role of modern police forces, it was fascinating to hear what very personal interests the various police forces in early New York served

I want to see Alanis Morissette play Amsterdam next year so badly … but I also don’t want to have to take out a bank loan for the privilege. I know Alanis recommends biting of more than you can chew (see what I did there?!) but this concert isn’t going to be one of those things!

Very much looking forward to this next week. Do join us if you can!

Knew nothing of the atomic bomb tests France did in Algeria until yesterday thanks to a new exhibition at Framer Framed in Amsterdam which combines testimony, archival docs, geospatial data and images. To learn that there is no public conversation about any of this in France is just as shocking.

Hey folks, we're running our Green Web fellowship again this year - we give you 6k EUR to work on your project at the intersection of climate justice and digital rights, for 6 months, and blog what you learn along the way. More info below: www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/fellowships/... Plz share?

Hello… (what are other people in Bluesky called?!) As I write this feeling as I imagine an asylum seeker would: loved my old home but it is way too inhospitable to stay. To quote Warsan Shire, T…X has become “the mouth of the shark”. Now, we gotta figure out this new place 😅
