#Bonjour en mode #grr
Je sature déjà des plaintes perpétuelles et des oppositions stériles en mode 'oui mais eux sont mieux traités que nous quand ils font grève' vs en comm. 'ah bah nous on n'existe tellement pas que vous ne nous citez pas'
Grandissez p....n. La seule façon de
construire et d'aller de l'avant n'est pas de se renfermer de façon clanique pour bien ressasser ce qui ne va pas mais d'essayer
1️⃣ de chercher à savoir vraiment ce que les autres vivent et comment ils le vivent (ça évite aussi des jugements à l'emporte-pièce qui montre juste que
vous vous exprimez sans savoir et/ou sans avoir examiné les problématiques dans un contexte plus global)
2️⃣ ceci étant fait de chercher des solutions pragmatiques et viables i.e. chics et pas chères, qui prennent en compte toutes les situations et ne génèrent pas d'effets de bord

Scottish Labour Party @ScottishLabour
voted For the #GRR but they recognise the bill needs ammendments & gave a commitment to "seek to amend the bill at stage 2 to respect the primacy of the Equality Act 2010 and to have that placed on the face of the bill".
#NoToSelfID
What happens next? stage 2
The #GRR Bill goes back to the @SP_EHRCJ Committee & MSPs can suggest amendments
Other concerns included the lowering of the age from 16 to 18
& cross border issues
There may be more ammendments suggested The deadline for submission is 9 November

I have dwelt on this image a lot in the harsh post mortem of this past week, but I think it may serve, in decades ahead, as a talisman of the "in between"/liminal time we are in right now, frustrating, dark, and baffling. 1st
You may or may not have seen it, but there was a rather remarkable tweet this week about the profound "discomfort" and Group Shame by a pack of "BloomBros" when their Alpha was mataphorically deballed by the fearsome "schoolmarm" Elizabeth Warren. 2.

The Bros had happily headed off to a bar to watch their Alpha debate, and, presumably a bit well oiled by the time defenestration began, their careful wall was likely
a bit breached, down to the emotional layer normally kept tightly wrapped. 3.
