Today is Equal Pay Day 2024—the point when women, on average, stop earning compared to men and work the rest of the year unpaid. This year, it’s two days earlier than 2023, signalling a widening pay gap. Let’s act to close it. 💼 #EqualPayDay24"

Today's big idea (not mine): There's a big queue for renewables projects to connect to the grid. How to prioritise? How about prioritising those projects where commercial developers offer local communities an ownership share in the project? www.regen.co.uk/is-the-local...

I've joined bluesky today after a year+ of mostly staying away from X but missing the buzz of following/followers on social media. Happy to have an alternative to the hate and consumerism that now defines X. The ownership and algorithms make it a platform I can't participate in.
