“Embrace risk.” “It’s not rejection, it’s just redirection.” “Failure is an event, not a person.” If you’re in need of motivational work missives, LinkedIn might be your first destination. In among the job announcements, the newly published research papers and the requests for work or fresh talent, there is now a trend to post content with a more emotional bent: mood-boosting mantras, tales of rags to riches, intimate reveals of how to overcome mental health crises, and – in a development that is imbuing LinkedIn with shades of Facebook – increasing numbers of deeply personal announcements. Users are posting marriage photos, baby scans, coming-out announcements and tales of ill health. If the work/life merge is inevitable then it would appear LinkedIn is Ground Zero. “Personal LinkedIn posts have increased since the pandemic started,” says Rachael Rowland, who works in corporate HR, specifically diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). “The pandemic triggered a desire for human … [Read more...] about How LinkedIn became the new Facebook

By Joe Inwood Published 4 days ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Related Topics Russia-Ukraine war It may have felt like an inevitability, but that does not make the fall of Severodonetsk any less painful for Ukraine. For weeks it had been the main focus of Russia's invasion, huge artillery barrages and air strikes reducing much of the old industrial city to rubble. In the end, Ukrainian commanders said defending the ruins would cost too many lives. In his Saturday night address after Russia had confirmed complete control of Severodonetsk, President Volodymyr Zelensky said it was a difficult day, "morally and emotionally" for his country. There is no denying it, the loss of the largest city they still held in the Luhansk region does bring one of Russia's key strategic aims one step closer. Ever since the failure of their initial attempts to capture … [Read more...] about Ukraine war: What Severodonetsk’s fall means for the conflict

Published 13 May Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Deana Lawson has won the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize 2022 for her solo exhibition Centropy. Ms Lawson, from Rochester, New York, was awarded the £30,000 prize on Thursday at a ceremony at The Photographers' Gallery in London. The annual award recognises artists and projects for their contributions to the world of photography over the past year. The photographer, who is a professor of visual arts in the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University, cast models to pose in a style reminiscent of family photographs.
