Ms Rachel has shifted from advocating for children killed by bombs that our taxes pay for, to advocating for children that our government is imprisoning without cause, which our taxes also pay for.
This isn’t what a kid’s entertainer should feel the need to do, but since we’re here, more ppl should.
It has to be rage bait at this point, because wtf?!
I really enjoyed this blog and have shared with colleagues I thought it would resonate with. Thank you for your reflections 💖

In this personal and reflective piece Minoushe connects the personal to the professional and political.
She explores biculturalism, identity and a call to recognise that we cannot claim to be neutral in our practice.

This election was a choice between hope and hate, and the people of Gorton and Denton chose hope 💚
🎉 Huge congratulations to the Honourable Member for Gorton and Denton! And to everyone who helped make this happen 👏
I can't wait to see you on Monday, Hannah, and give you the biggest, proudest hug
🚨Our first 'emergency' pod?
In this special release we ask question of and reflect on the government's new draft safeguarding guidance that now includes a section on 'children who question their gender'
We've got some concerns...

My Dad died from a brain tumour caused by CNS lymphoma a year ago.

The way this information is dropping and the fact no one is losing their job, let alone in prison, is spiritual and psychological warfare that we have to protect ourselves and children against.
It's annoyingly long but so important to do.
This is the link to the consultation on the changes to KCSIE. Let's flood the consultation with responses pointing out why it's so problematic and will make children and young people less safe. I started teaching when section 28 was still in place. Not again!

New DFE guidance on 'Gender questioning' children as part of KCSIE out today. Citing the flawed Cass review. The same week that a FOI to the National Child Mortality Database showed an increase in suicide in trans kids since pathways were restricted. Following the science would not lead to this doc.
Very valid to feel overwhelmed by it all. Be gentle with yourself. This exchange has been a positive reminder for me that we haven't lost our humanity, and that there are others that care about and are affected by the same things x
Big hugs, feeling exactly the same. The double standards are laid bare, but what difference is it making? I'm reading the Combahee River Collective book to try and ground myself in the possible.
Leader of the council had to make a point of saying that the arrested child is a British national born in the UK, reminding people that their identity cannot be shared as they are a child. Ridiculous that this had to be stated to grown adults.
Thinking about the boys who were stabbed at school yesterday, and the wonderful staff at Kingsbury High who do their best to support their school community. It's sad to see media outlets & individuals using this tragedy to construct a narrative about Islam, instead of care for the children involved.

Before this we heard a moving presentation from @edpsydan.bsky.social about how the support net of the benefits system can inflict harm on children and their families.
Listening to @lucaonions.bsky.social at the @eps4change.bsky.social community learning day, sitting with all the emotions that come with hearing the perspectives of neurodivergent trans children, and hearing my own child's voice in their voices.

When you say that everyone's rights and freedoms are interconnected, you often get blank or puzzled responses. To highlight this point, hunger striker Qesser Zuhrah is being denied an ambulance at Bronzefield, the same prison that denied care for Aisha Cleary during labour.
Considering Streeting's well stated belief autism, ADHD etc, along with mental health issues, are "overdiagnosed", I won't hold my breath for this doing anything other than being used to cut support, along with opportunities for diagnosis, for people who need it. #r4today

Breaking: The schools white paper will be delayed until 'early in the new year', government has announced today, as ministers take more time to draw up controversial SEND reforms

Blood on their hands;
EVERY "gender-critical" transphobe - yes including the very rich ones, the bigoted "journalists" who abuse their power, the unacademic academics and the "comedians" who make transphobic "jokes" - are respnsible for this poor cis women's death.
Transphobia *harms* cis women.
Quite a bloody cheek, this, given the UK has the most hostile regime towards healthcare for young trans people and their families in the world (www.gov.uk/government/s...).
Not only a legend, but a one-man institution 🙌🏾👏🏾
"She could have had the lucrative career of performative activism she was being lined up for. But by shunning this path, she shows up so many liberals for the frauds they are. She also puts a spotlight on all the big climate scientists who’ve never once said genocide is bad for the environment."
UK's Labour Party abandoned transgender people. The gambit to pursue rightwing voters by abandoning a targeted minority failed, and now they're facing the prospect of a historic loss.
US Dems could learn a lot from their failure.
Great piece from S. Baum.
