Today is Labour Day, but one unlike any other in awhile. The pandemic shined a light on some really important things related to work. I’d like to invite you to join me in reflection on some of the things I think we’ve all learned over the past 6 mos. #LabourDay2020 (1/11)
First, we learned something important about what it means to be an essential service. We’ve learned about the people whose work is absolutely necessary to keep supply chains running and to provide the goods and services that keep us alive and society functioning. (2/11)
First of mind in that group above are our healthcare workers: doctors, nurses, LPNs, nursing aides, paramedics, lab techs, custodial staff and all sorts of medical specialists and technologists. Today, we need to thank them. (3/11) #LabourDay2020

If you must protest, practice social distancing.

People in Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square protesting against corruption & Benjamin Netanyahu. (Footage via @ItayBlumental).
The organisers of this ‘Black Flag' protest were required to mark spots for people to maintain distance from each other and provide face masks.

They were not protesting ‘corruption’ as I suggested above, but coalition negotiators btw Netanyahu & Gantz.

Thanks to those people who pointed out that this #SocialDistancing demo in Israel resembles variously:

1) Donald Trumps sparsely attended inauguration;

2) René Magritte’s Golconda (“It’s Raining Men”);

3) Matt Hancock’s “1984” speech to NHS staff at the Nightingale Hospital. ImageImageImageImage
