@YousraElbagir is facing dangerous cyber harassment from pro-junta supporters in Burkina Faso. We must act now. I call on @RSF_inter, @CPJ to stand with women journalists everywhere. Silence is not an option. #PressFreedom

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

Good morning, world! 🌎 We have spectacular new high-resolution images of our home planet, all of us looking back through the Orion capsule window at our Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon.

Edna Mmbali Ombakho came to the UK from Kenya to study and reach her goals, only to end up being found dead in a body of water. No wall-to-wall mainstream media coverage. No televised press conference. Just one local news report followed by silence. open.substack.com/pub/melissasig…

A body has been found in water in the search for missing student Edna Mmbali Ombakho who disappeared a month ago. She was described by friends & family as ‘diligent, quiet and with strong academic ambitions.’ Rest in peace Edna Mmbali Ombakho 🕊️🙏🏾 open.substack.com/pub/melissasig…

9 years ago today and it still brings a smile to my face.
