ok tell me does this exist: a progressive, inclusive school, child-led, where parents (with DBS check) are allowed to come for part of the day, where the staff are throughly, profoundly trained in how to work with neurodivergent children?

and if it doesn't shall we start one?

Today we commemorate the 103rd anniversary of the Battle of Dumlupınar (30 August 1922), a defining moment in Turkish War of Independence. I honour with respect those who gave their lives and health for our homeland, & heroes who fought for freedom, led by Commander-in-Chief Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

So pleased with the feedback & recommendations. In this new work, I am exploring whether the childcare gap matters for maternal employment from a macro perspective using country-year panel data. Early findings suggest it matters for the intensity of employment rather than the overall choice of it.

Unsure if it’s due to my prior ignorance or if London’s trees are in exceptional bloom this summer. Full of fruits causally weighing down every corner, quite amazing, really

Feels like phone snatching is a legit full time job in London. Someone took my phone from my hand this morning and threw it away after realising it’s an old one 🤷🏻‍♀️ quick loss and gain in seconds. very very disturbing

The one and only 💙💚
Jannik Sinner with his Roland Garros finalist trophy.

Can’t imagine how much it hurts to lose a match like this.

But he played and carried himself like a champion… as always. 🥹

This young man has so much to be proud of.
