A few thoughts on boys, masculinity, 'manning up' & the daily nuance that dictates gender bit.ly/2oXxD7N

@Hilaryonline Except for you and I of course. We’re obviously perfect. Aside from parenting. And work. And negotiating life generally. But otherwise, totally perfect.

@LizWilkinson9 Ooh. Language please.

@heatherpeace Ah I’m so sorry. Such is the cycle of life but it’s a bloody painful one at times. Sending love x

Tonight he went to his eternal sleep. My most perfect friend since 2005. Dearest Bungle. An absolute legend of dogs. Absolute unconditional, pure, love. Hold them tight. The time we have with them is too short. RIP Bungle. Sleep well dearest soul. xxx

So proud of my friend @SuzyLevyTRP for writing such an inspiring, accessible & thoughtful book. I’ve read & edited some of it & it’s truly phenomenal. Well worth contributing to the crowd funding!

More girls break silence following the release of sexual assault survey rnz.co.nz/news/national/…

@domesticanimal @ParahiCarmen @NZStuff Brilliant. Loving Stuff this morning.

Our Truth, Tā Mātou Pono is a Stuff project investigating the history of racism. Part one, out today, focuses on Stuff & its newspapers, & how we have portrayed Māori. @ParahiCarmen & I did a cartoon together based on real headlines about Māori. @NZStuff

@Hilaryonline I listen to them when running & must look very strange crying with laughter as stumble about the neighbourhood. Hope the assessment went well x

@Simonablake Ohhh. Those moments knock the wind from you don’t they. I still think I can hear my mums heels coming down the street behind me sometimes.

Underneath the overt racism is banter, stereotyping, taking advantage of white privilege, bias and exclusion. We’re all a bit complicit in this, even if we don’t use guns or shout abuse on the streets. We must diminish the platform that holds racism up. bit.ly/3eQZoYx

My thoughts on first steps to supporting women in C19 recovery. Understanding the disproportionate impact on employment downscaling. And undertaking a home audit on who is doing all the domestic labour - including printing home schooling worksheets! youtu.be/3yn_tstIi7U

@Charliecondou If you break the lockdown rules here you get locked up. So I’m heading out soon to get locked up. Alone. Result.

@surandickson Run Suran. Run as fast as you can, and don’t look back

Remember when having kids seemed like a good idea?

@Charliecondou I was. But I’m not now. You used to offer me early parenting advice - pray tell, what should I do now?

@surandickson I didn’t think you were SERIOUS! I thought you were trying to make me feel better about my own mistakes

@SueAtkins Fab resource. Any plans to have an option for the children of same sex parents?

This journal is designed to help children express, explore and understand some of the strong emotions that they may be feeling and to help them process the #divorce for themselves. sueatkinsparentingcoach.com/product/the-di… #parenting

Fantastic to be working with the @AgResearchNEWS executive team on building an inclusive culture. Deep, curious conversations around exclusion, mental health & what leadership really means.

Great to see DRM going from strength to strength - proud day!
