It has always been about misogyny and racism because it will be global majority women who by and large will get caught in this (as well as our trans sisters). bell hooks was absolutely right when she gunned for white feminists and that was decades ago!

Imagine a brain melt that would ensue from realising Jesus, Joseph, & Mary were native to the Levant area. Jesus is far more likely to resemble modern day Palestinian Christians than a white Norse demigod. Other images are ultimate appropriation and coloniality at its finest.

When I said English, it is for anyone living in England. Education is a devolved issue so in Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland there are going to be other helplines..IPSEA can advise you.

Of course they will. The thin veil of so called compassion is begging to slip. Don't ask me how I know.

I don't know but I do know that Sarajevo siege, longest in modern history, is the blueprint for things happening elsewhere and since. Bosnia was the first place where rape was used systematically as a weapon.

Tbh, it doesn't matter who was first. It must stop.

6/n ADHD side quest bonus, chillies and tomatoes can under the right conditions be perennial, as can leeks, onions, brassicas (cabbages, brocoli etc), beans.... I have special perennial varieties and am experimenting with perennialising annual varieties.

What conditions do you need to thrive?

Interpersonal and rejection sensitivities don't come nowhere. You aren't imagining it, and you are not overreacting.

In my work, I see these sensitivities played out in all cases of overwhelmed behaviour. Even with learning frequently.

Imho we don't have conditions for chillies in society.

Chilli pepper DNA means it grows lovely hot peppers, AND it needs sunshine. Give it -2C temperatures, and it dies.

So if you are deemed sensitive, ask yourself, am I a chilli pepper growing in cold weather? You might be.

if you dig the soil and use artifical fertiliser or herbicides, you literally destroy the most important thing which is mycorhizzal fungi, friendly soil bacteria, and micro insects, worms, and spiders all involved in the growing process of a plant.

2/n It isn't the case at all of self-image Vs environmental influences. It is the case of a two directional influence.

My veggies show me this all the time. They develop and grow depending on their DNA and conditions i provide, and are continually adjusting.

Absolutely agree. Even if you needed say external device thingy for working memory without a label you might have a bad self image. And actually we should all be allowed to decide for ourselves. I do know people who don't like labels and that is cool.

My point is ask service users.

Yes agreed AND we are social so not meant to be searching alone. I think we agree essentially.

I can't come to the AGM labelling discussion tomorrow. Please see my post/thread from this evening. You have to read the thread bottom up as I can't figure out numbering otherwise.

11/n

Therefore any discussions by anyone about labelling in education must only be done with service users voice present (children/families/adults).

The absence of service users' voices in these debates speak so super loudly.

10/n

Discussions on feminism by men and without women present are a moot point. Ditto discussing racism without Global Majority is a moot point. Ditto posh people discussing class without working class people. Ditto bosses discussing wages and rights without workers' unions.

9/n

In simple language: service users must get from professionals what service users need. And how do professionals know what service users need or want? Ask us.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, not a thing about us without us.

So taking Dr Greene's person tries their best, adding Blackfoot needs web/circle, mixing in Broffenbrenner systems, and sprklinkling Structural Analysis as a spice we get:

Must do what is necessary and sufficient for the child/family/adult. (This btw is from Theory of Constraints.)

7/n

And if we additionally:
1. acknowledge Broffenbrenner with his circles of more and more complex systems around the person,
2. Think about analysing social influences say via Structural Analysis

Then when to label question becomes kinda a moot point...

6/n

Frameworks like Siksika/Blackfoot circle of needs whom Malsow spent time with and completely appropriated their ideas wrongly, these frameworks suggest that all needs are:
1. Equal. Love is needed as much as food. And
2. All needs are a community business. All for one and one for all.
