Show me 1 kid who's been damaged as a result of swapping singing in a non ventilated room for something equally as exciting in a lesson plan. Do Percussion? Rhythm & clapping? How about use SIGN LANGUAGE to a song? You know that inclusivity you bang on about PUT IT INTO ACTION!

Yesterday, the Government published their Autumn Budget & Spending Review. Today we'd like to share our response ⬇
While we welcome the much-needed additional investment to tackle the backlog caused by the pandemic, young people with cancer need the Government to provide ringfenced funding to recruit, train, & retain the workforce needed to provide expert care.
Teenagers and young adults with cancer have different psychological, social and physical needs when compared with children and older adults and should receive specialist, age-appropriate care and support from a workforce trained to meet their needs.
A two-year investigation by @AJIUnit reveals how British universities are failing to protect students from sexual harassment by their lecturers, allowing them to carry on teaching even where there are multiple complaints over many years.

Women have complained about Prof Andy Orchard’s sexual behaviour & drunkenness for 20+ years.
He’s now Prof of Anglo Saxon, at the world’s top-ranking, university, Oxford & a successor to JRR Tolkien who held the same position when he was writing Lord of the Rings.

At Cambridge & Toronto Universities Orchard targeted female students for affairs. Women say they were terrified of academic & career reprisals if they rejected him.
A female colleague says he abused & threatened her in a drunken rage.

Rs wrote the rules: electronic results would be presumed correct absent reliable evidence to the contrary, & we would NOT require manual audits to confirm them. They wanted to change the rules only after Trump lost. They also wanted to cherry pick where to audit. #NotOK 1/
In February 2020, Rs blocked the #SAFEAct which would have required robust manual audits for all federal races—not just for the presidency and not just for Dominion and not just for the cherry picked places selected by Trump. 2/ axios.com/gop-senator-el…

“People often think of trauma as a discrete event — a fire, getting mugged. But what it’s really about is helplessness, about being on the receiving end of forces you can’t control."
Our national narrative has never had room for helplessness, & I've felt it acutely often since March. This can magnify the effect of experiencing it. I am def hitting the wall after 4 mos of overfunctioning, & I've talked w a few folks w/in last week in sim spots. #NotOK
And I'll add that I fully recognize the many ways in which I am comparatively fortunate or privileged right now, so I'm not trying to minimize others' plights. But just saying "you too? yeah, same here." to our common struggle w the trauma of living in America in 2020
