I haven’t yet watched the Idris Elba programme as I’ve not been in the right mood. I find it frustrating when we have these moments of celebrity & political focus on an issue many of us have been focused on for decades with endless research, evidence, insights & experience ignored.

I watched 13th again. Feels so powerfully relevant today in both a US & UK context. So many of the themes are currently playing out. If you’ve not seen it do watch, feels particularly pertinent this week as Trump takes office. www.netflix.com/gb/title/800...
Watch 13TH | Netflix Official Site
In this thought-provoking documentary, scholars, activists and politicians analyze the criminalization of African Americans and the U.S. prison boom.

Blue sky is the 'nice app' where white people make starter packs about their interest or research area but somehow do not notice that these lists are all white and then further do not engage when this pointed out. But you are not racist, right?

Interesting thoughts & questions here on paying young people for involvement/co-production ⤵️
Thoughts on paying youth co-researchers for #involvement activity? Literature seems to focus on risk of coercion, our concern was failing to recognise the value of their time as often happens in #coproduction. Discussed it with them and they all preferred payment 1/2

Politicians and the Public focus on two ends of the Criminal Justice system: Crime/Policing and then sentencing/prison. The middle bit is vague & often misunderstood/misrepresented. That’s why courts and the legal system aren’t ever top priority and why in part, it is in such mess.
