My dug is 16 yo tomorrow. Old enough to get married and join the army. Pretty certain he has zero interest in either.

They always ask what is the population of Iran. Never how is the population of Iran.

I have a friend whose father is in Tehran. They have been told to evacuate, but there is no petrol, so no one can drive anywhere. They are sleeping in the car park basement of their apartment due to the bombing.

No one should need to live like this. Not in Gaza, not in Tel Aviv, not in Tehran.

❗️We must be careful about the rhetoric we use when discussing children and young people who are absent from school.

Many of those we support are facing unprecedented challenges and we need to make sure compassionate support is available to them.

Some family history:

James O'Dowd was born in Roscommon in Ireland in 1841.
He married Mary Janet Fraser from Scotland on Sweers Island in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia.
Their daughter's family rode camels 3000 miles to Perth.
My Great Grandfather is the baby on the camel.
