If lockdown has really made something clear to me , it is this : the idea that there is more that connects us than divides us is very, very threatening to some people . You can break down a barrier then watch them scrabble to create a new one .

Last week, a boat holding 800 refugees sank off the Greek Coast. No women or children survived. It is a political choice to let human beings drown at sea. On World Refugee Day, we demand justice.

Just so we’re clear, Jo Frost’s comment on kids ‘Holding in’ from being themselves at school is ‘Masking.’ It’s not absurd, what is absurd is someone using their huge platform yet again to dismiss children with SEND & their parents by feeding into the non believers for clout

ADHD and anxiety can be a dangerous combination. Anxiety gives you the things to worry about, then ADHD gives you the ability to hyperfocus on those exact things, see addressing them as now or never, and adds gasoline to the fire of emotional dysregulation the anxiety started

The king of Kings has left us . The greatest soundman that ever lived 💔 #jahshaka #kingofkings

It’s a sad day today, as we say farewell to my friend Knocky, the Zulu warrior, Jah Shaka. Shaka played a huge part in the establishing of AriwA In the very early days he would book the studio weekly, and shared building in Peckham, with Jah Shaka Music operating from the HQ

@nickyjanehill This is fascinating and wide reaching in understanding shifts in policing of social norms isn’t it .. also nicking ‘ collective effervescence ‘ ! 💛

This 🧵 is fascinating & links to so many themes. Well worth a read even if you don’t think you’re very interested in theatre etiquette!

@theashrb Every day .. I write notes and doodle every day in our family diary 😊

When’s the last time you used a pen/pencil and wrote on paper? 🤔

@betty_de_brazil How refreshing . Ordering , thank you 🙏

@74beijaflor So far, so reassuring, and a good antidote to people who blame the media for everything as well.

Looking forward to getting stuck into this

@Kirsty_H220 Right . My son is high functioning to the point of being undetectable if you are not SEN aware , which makes him incredibly vulnerable X

My children are autistic, my son has higher immediate needs than my daughter, but that doesn’t mean her needs are not greater at other times for different reasons. If using functioning labels one would be deemed high & the other low. This is why functioning labels are harmful

@bespaceaware This makes me so sad and so , so angry

It’s Friday so I thought I’d treat the yummy mummy’s on the school run by wearing my new sort of tiger print shirt & some of the new aftershave I got for Christmas but not a single one of them noticed or said a word 😡😡

@PevenEverett Sure am and I’m seeing you at Southport too 🙏🙏

@Hugsutd01 Im pretty destroyed by this . Sad, sad day for hip hop

This is really sad news. De La are a band I truly adore. Dave / Trugoy had amazing verses. The group were going to release new music. I didn't know him but his voice brought deep joy to my ears over decades. Much love and respect.
