We're now 2 yrs into the decisive decade. Emissions should be in an unprecedented fall, instead we're seeing the 2nd biggest rise ever recorded. We're wasting invaluable time pretending we can solve this crisis without treating it like a crisis. World leaders are still in denial.

THIS GIRL NOW DOESN'T. Thanks to the decision by @WelshRugbyUnion to ban girls older than U11 in mixed teams based on their gender. If unsafe, then unsafe for all the kids smaller than her, and youth teams would size based - which works pretty well for New Zealand rugby!
This girl does! Captain and Player of the Match for Bridgend Sports U12s. @beefycurry @GemHallett

When I posted this, it was to highlight the ingrained #sexism in #conservation by using humour. I should have expected the large number of responses from #sexistbirders, so now I see it as an important issue at the core of #birding that must be changed - so please RT everywhere
If you aren’t into nature, you won’t know that when you go into #birdwatching hides there are often posters up yo help you with bird ID. But why should female birds always be shown as a smaller picture insert?? #Sexisminbirding? We need a revolution 😂@Natures_Voice @WWTworldwide

7 tips on engaging online in 30 mins was maybe a bit optimistic - but this feedback has made my day! 
"Hands down the best tech training I've had, I think, ever. Thankyou." If you're interested in engaging audiences - we do training! @scimadesimple @WalesWomenSTEM

It takes a young graphic designer to embarrass 'girls life' (USA publication) magazine with an alternate front page #Sexism #WiSTEM womenyoushouldknow.net/appal… Is the UK magazine industry any better?! Ty @hannahpudner for highlighting

On Twitter, IG, YouTube and every other social medium, the STEM accounts with the most support are exclusively white. Here’s a list of black women in STEM you can follow & support. I’m on this list but tbh it would give me much more joy if you just followed the other women listed
