open.substack.com/pub/rhizoverse… Some thoughts on being an #artistseducator

@naomicfisher 👌🏻

My book is out on audio!

There's a contradiction at the heart of how we educate our children. We take away their autonomy when we tell them that learning means doing what we tell them. We take away their purpose when we teach them skills out of context 'which will be important later on'. 1/

« The saddest thing for me about the education system….is that it seems almost intentionally calculated to create anxious children, parents and teachers. Matt was only four the first time I was told he was “behind the benchmark”. » theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Incredible turnout for Black Lives Matter march through #Cliftonville and #Margate today. Thousands come together to kneel for George Floyd. #NoJusticeNoPeace

Friend of mine had told me that the Parisians were coming onto their balconies each evening at 8 to applaud their health service workers. He has just sent me a video. What do we make of that London? #CoronaCrisis #❤NHS

Wow, I’ve just won by a landslide... at @uptonjuniors. Thanks so much. Vote for your children and grandchildren. #VoteLabour theisleofthanetnews.com/2019/12/12/upt…

This isn't a professional video, no sound track, no cut aways. This is me, a GP, a campaigner for health, a campaigner for you. Today, vote for change.

All the signs are that South Thanet is going to be very close. Lots of Tory, undecided & non-voters are putting a X next to Labour. If you haven’t voted yet, please brave the wind & rain for 5 minutes to help us build a thriving South Thanet. Every vote counts #GE2019 #VoteLabour

It’s time for free education for all.

Labour.

Every election is a climate election. Vote for your children. Vote for the planet. Vote for future generations. Vote for humanity. #GE2019 #UKElection

I’ve not come here to hide in a fridge. I’ve come here with a message of hope!

Will you vote for the first time in #GE2019? No need to worry, it's a simple process. When you're in the polling booth ❌ DO mark one cross inside one box next to the name of your chosen candidate ⬜ DON'T write anything anywhere else on the card or your vote may not be counted

I’m beyond terrified of what another 5 years of Tories will do to our beautiful Country. Personally my daughters and I will lose our home because once switched to Universal Credit we won’t afford it 😭😭😭😭😭 Our only hope is that the Country has a heart. #VoteLabourToday ❤️

If you're not sure who to vote for, watch this. #VoteLabour #OnYourSide

Question. Is this the BBC? Answer. It’s the BBC Jim, but not as we know it.
