Anxiety is weird. Frankly I don’t like it. Rational Brain is like “dude you’re fine” but then there’s primal Other Brain like “you’re a failure & you’re forgetting to do something crucial & you’re letting people down & also you’re incompetent & a huge disappointment, now eat some junk food”

The USWNT's five-year reign as SheBelieves Cup champions ended on Wednesday, but there are reasons to be optimistic for the team's future.

I wrote this letter to today's @theguardian.com to opposed the cutting of the Latin Excellence Programme funding. I also started a petition 👇 www.theguardian.com/education/20...
Scrapping the Latin excellence programme is shortsighted | Letter
Letter: Dr Ulla Rajala says the programme has given state school pupils the same opportunities as those in the private sector, and should not be axed
