1️⃣ in 3️⃣ women politicians admit to self-censoring or reducing their visibility due to the fear of violence.
When women politicians feel compelled to silence themselves, we all lose out.
There's #NoExcuse. Let's unite to #EndViolenceAgainstWomen.

Tracking down and confronting the thieves of USD 25,000 worth of #photography gear in central #Copenhagen, and getting everything back, thanks to AirTags in the bag and a bottom plate. Useful devices but it can be dangerous to confront thieves, of course.

Happy World #ParliamentDay! Did you know that the European Parliament recently established a directorate-general aimed at boosting parliamentary partnerships, both inside and outside the EU?

A legal question for photography Twitter to settle a discussion : in UK LAW, can I publish and sell a book of street portraits if I don’t have release forms ? I’m assuming it’s a no but is it actually a yes ? #photography #streetphotography
Set ved Marienlyst, Helsingør, i går. Ikke verdens skarpeste billede, men kan nogen sige mig, hvilken fugl, det er, og hvilken fisk, den er i færd med at sluge?
Am I the only one experiencing problems with volume control in the @pocketcasts watchOS app? It seems to just turn down the volume to 0 however much you turn the crown. Brilliant podcast platform, otherwise 👍

Slight tightening up of Belgium’s rules on using your phone while driving from today.
Changement dans le code de la route concernant le GSM au volant:

4/2 blev @LarsLAndersen interviewet i @P1Morgen om, at øvelser i arbejdstiden kan sænke langtidssygefravær med 13% og forbedre kvaliteten af samarbejde. Kan nogen hjælpe med en henvisning til publikation, artikel, rapport? Har ledt på nfa.dk men uden held.
Det er et uforklarligt kuriosum, at belgierne insisterer på, at “Orval” - som den måske eneste øl i verden - skal være et hankønsord på fransk: “Un Orval, s’il vous plaît”. Men godt smager han nu 😊
Consistent with my own experience. I was pretty hooked at one point. I haven't used FB the last 6-7 years, never used Instagram and deleted my WhatsApp account a month ago. I am nonetheless acutely aware of the "cost" in terms of losing interactions that could also be positive.
