Threads: recycling goes mobile
Hope for Tomorrow has made it convenient to recycle unwanted clothes - In a partnership with Textile Recycling International and Nathan’s Wastesavers. People can bring clothes to recycling banks at places, so you can easily deposit any clothes, shoes, towels, bedding, curtains etc., that you no longer want.
Banks (not the money-grabbing kind) are so important to the community as they have a multitude of roles to fulfil. Redundancy, illness, benefit changes or delays, debt and family breakdown are just some of the reasons why there has been a large increase in the number of people being referred to food and clothing banks.

A chess-playing robot grabbed and broke the finger of a seven-year-old boy during a match at the Moscow Open last week.
Footage shows the boy’s finger being pinched by the robotic arm for several seconds, before a woman and three men rush in freeing the boy from the machine’s grip.

Look sharp when you get asked about the metaverse/crypto/NFTs in your next board meeting. We're on a mission to skill you up
SHILL- the act of heavily promoting a cryptocurrency, stock, or other asset in an effort to increase adoption and, in turn, raise its price.
This is usually done via spamming on social media, and generally carries a negative connotation.
How to use: A person who performs the act of shilling may also be referred to as a shill.“I’ve been shilling this new doge coin on Twitter all month, Elon Musk?!”
