I cannot stress this enough, and I am tired of saying it: British white people, everything you are seeing in the US is coming here and you cannot watch Eurovision or Great British Bakeoff or sign petitions and think you can stiff-upper-lip or ignore your way out of this.

Learn to be UNCOMFORTABLE.

Solidarity with all Indigenous parents struggling with the news coming out of Greenland and Denmark today. It's triggering and infuriating; keep space for your anger, and I hope your community can support you rn.

We didn't lose our children; they were stolen.

They will never get all of us.

Four year-old is having a curious moment around wheelchairs.

Early ed folks & disability organizers, would any of you be excited to share some thoughts about how to do emergent learning around important concepts here?

This is very cool. Often food pantries need to spend their money making sure everyone has the basics to keep them fed and healthy, but not on the spices and flavors that make an enjoyable meal. www.burlapandbarrel.com/products/don...

We're scientists - this is a bit of an experiment!

All details are on the application page!

I tried to do what my good friend LP is doing and finish my bachelors degree as a working professional. I failed, but if I’d had this community back then, it would have meant everything to have this happen. It would mean everything now to see my friend get to do this. Let’s share far and wide, ok?

Yanno, I honestly didn't miss the 90s enough to want to see everyone in their 20s looking like they've Got a Stronghold, making all the terrible mistakes of "alternative culture" that people had to unlearn in the early 2000s.

How I feel about the whole Olivia Nuzzi story is that there are a lot of talented, ethical, underemployed or unemployed black and brown journalists right now who are ready to work.

Ever since I started using symbolism in paintings, I’ve naturally defined different types and uses of it. All symbolism serves the basic desire to convey thoughts and feelings that can’t be expressed adequately (or as economically) in other ways. 1/5

In response to the laughable fiction presented in the letter sent by Sex Matters to BBC Board members, we have sent a rebuttal letter to clarify the real facts, rather than their Orwellian tale.

To trespass the forest would see the King’s law demand a mutilation of the body. To trespass certain parts of the moor and anger its guardians would mean much worse. To lose some fingers is a terrible thing, to lose your mind or your soul was considered much worse by many. – Dr. M. Benn
