Let’s talk about Nike…a brand that treats men like Dylan Mulvaney that pretend to be women better than it treats women.
In 2018, Nike Brand Ambassador and Model + 10 x Olympic Medalist 🥇Allyson Felix got pregnant.
Nike then offered her 70% less pay than her original contract with the brand and gave her no guarantees of paying her if her performance as a brand ambassador declined during her pregnancy and gave her no maternity protections.
Instead of being treated so unfairly, Allyson left Nike and 2 years later launched her own incredibly successful women’s brand, Athleta 👚

@pulseonapath@gordonkerry@YouTube I love that Violin Concerto..has shades of the Berg VC. It's bloody difficult. Who's playing it? (as for performing Britten as a youngster, I wAS in Noyes Flood in Townsville as a child...in the Baroque era. Made such an impression on me!)
Rehearsals are in full swing for our Mozart’s Jupiter concerts next week! Today we were rehearsing at @oldmuseum 🧡 We’ll be performing Mozart’s epic “Jupiter” symphony and his exquisite Sinfonia Concertante at @atqpac (Thursday) and @empire_theatre (Saturday)! 💕
Not sure how other people cope with 12 hour work days. A big hazard in the performing arts - it’s all great stuff, but I feel like I need an anaesthetic at the end of the day…

@pulseonapath@frindley I'm sure you were nice, and at the end of the day, how they react to your mentoring is something you can't control. I was a naive boy from NQ when I was at Uni, so I needed a lot of what you've done for that student.
“Hey guys” - is this an appropriate way for Uni students to address lecturers in emails? Me - I don’t like it. I don’t mind being addressed by my first name and I am fine with “Hi” (and tolerate “hey”). But “Hey guys” seems all too familiar and gendered. Thoughts?
Australia has installed unreliable solar and wind power at a faster rate than anywhere in the world.
Now we can't guarantee that the lights will stay on in the next few years.
Build coal, gas and nuclear power stations now!

@frindley Yes they were. Myself and a female colleague. It’s more the casual carelessness of the address, but I suspect I’m also being overly narked by something essentially harmless.
@pulseonapath@frindley What's good is that they feel autonomous enough to view you as colleagues and to therefore use a very informal salutation. You could say though that while you want them to develop into a colleague for comms like this "Dear" or "Hello" is less controversial. "Hey guys" sounds like
“My boys were inspired. They’re now on YouTube, binging on Harry Potter classical music.” Sally (parent) Thanks for having us East Brisbane State School! On Tuesday, we popped in for a few performances. Our education shows are a real hit & the students adored it! #camerataqco
