@giskard23 showing what strong vulnerable leadership can look like Really appreciate the candour ❤️ (And the healthy dose of F bombs)

One of the best talks I’ve seen at #AOTB ever - talking inclusion, by talking about periods Honest, vulnerable, powerful Agile teams have *less* safety/comfort than non-agile teams in talking about periods Lots of data, storytelling - do watch the recording

VERY good talk - not just about system alerts... There's a deeper philosophical point about: what are we actually trying to solve for?

@giskard23 I couldn't find you, so apols for not tagging!

@yuval_abraham Your bravery is contagious and gives people like me courage

@yuval_abraham I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. Thank you for standing up for the truth, and against oppression.

A right-wing Israeli mob came to my family’s home yesterday to search for me, threatening close family members who fled to another town in the middle of the night. I am still getting death threats and had to cancel my flight home. This happened after Israeli media and German politicians absurdly labeled my Berlinale award speech - where I called for equality between Israelis and Palestinians, a ceasefire and an end to apartheid - as ‘antisemitic’. The appalling misuse of this word by Germans, not only to silence Palestinian critics of Israel, but also to silence Israelis like me who support a ceasefire that will end the killing in Gaza and allow the release of the Israeli hostages - empties the word antisemitism of meaning and thus endangers Jews all over the world. As my grandmother was born in a concentration camp in Libya and most of my grandfather’s family was murdered by Germans in the holocaust, I find it particularly outraging that German politicians in 2024 have the audacity to weaponize this term against me in a way that endangered my family. But above all else, this behavior puts Palestinian co-director Basel Adra’s life in danger, who lives under a military occupation surrounded by violent settlements in Masafer Yatta. He is in far greater danger than I am. I’m happy our award winning film, No Other Land, is sparking an important international debate on this issue - and I hope that millions of people watch it when it comes out this year. Sparking a conversation is why we made it. You can have harsh criticism of what me and Basel said on stage without demonizing us. If this is what you’re doing with your guilt for the holocaust - I don’t want your guilt.

Actual data around the #CeasefireNOW protests and violence - fascinating

Children in Gaza are so hungry they are eating animal feed to stay alive. This is what our political leaders have normalised with their silence. A ceasefire is a basic demand to stop people dying — and should be made by anyone who believes in the equal value of human life.

Word of the day is ‘depooperit’ (18th-century Scots): exhausted and enfeebled both mentally and physically.

Hey feminists - where you at?

Really looking forward to keynoting at Agile Manchester in May Software Acumen have consistently run inclusive, collaborative, interesting conferences. And they're lovely people. Do join us #agile #lean #flow #product #conference

@PSCupdates any chance we can coordinate a general strike? Hit the UK where it hurts: economically?

Here is a conversation I had once with a child protection supervisor: Social worker supervisor: The mother keeps lying to us about the domestic violence. Me: It sounds like you are pretty angry at her for not telling you the truth about what's happening. Social work supervisor: Yes I am because the child is in danger. Me: Are you more angry at her for lying than you at the perpetrator for creating the danger in the first place? Social work supervisor: *awkward silence* We have trained an entire cohort of professionals to be angrier at domestic violence survivors than at the perpetrators of domestic violence. "Failure to protect" culture is real. It's a set of unwritten rules, practices and beliefs that direct practitioners to blame mothers who are survivors and ignore fathers who are perpetrating violence. This is unfair, inefficient, ineffective and unsafe. And we can do it better. #StopBlamingMothers #StopIgnoringFathers

Thousands now gathered outside Parliament to demand MPs vote for a #CeasefireNOW 🇵🇸 #FreePalestine #NoCeasefireNoVote
