For children who can’t read, every school day holds the potential for repeated humiliation. “You are experiencing massive confusion, and it is actually fucking frightening,” a journalist who has covered literacy for a decade said. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/yLemWd

Proven methods for teaching the readers who struggle most have been known for decades. Why do we often fail to use them?

Excellent spin-off.
Since I am able to pre-order the Blu-ray from Amazon UK for a February 23 release, I would venture to guess that Disney+ will make it available for streaming earlier in February. They will possibly stream some of it live at Gallifrey One February 6-8.

A completely different journey to that of Olympic & Paralympic swimmers

NO funding
NO support
NO acknowledgment
NO respect

Please don’t quote #inclusitivity or #fairness. There isn’t any for deaf athletes

The war between the land and the sea is just not good, it's incredible. Well worth watching. Well written and acted.

This is what support and encouragement looks like. Kindness costs nothing.
Also free to all because I know this fandom has been aching for a crumb of sugicakes

If anyone has a better image of him, please drop it in comments if it'd be okay for me to use to replace this grainy microwave-resolution photo of our sweetest kitty

Thank you!

Like Halloween itself, Mischief Night has roots in Pagan traditions. The sabbat known as Samhain , believed that the veil between the world of the living & the dead thinned, allowing spirits to walk among & play tricks on unassuming mortals so BEWARE!🥰

Tomorrow is #Halloween which is a great time to read a spooky story. One of our favourite spooky stories is The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irvine. First published in 1820 it tells the story of a terrifying headless horseman, but that's not why we like it. 🎃

I’m sorry, but at the same time glad that your family member has a choice of how and when.
I have a family member with terminal cancer whose request for medical assistance in dying has been accepted. It happens tomorrow.

I have a lot of feelings but chief among them is that this is a hallmark of a civil society.
