This is truly one of the best illustrations of what is happening in America.

Vaccines do not cause autism.

Snoop went from Gin & Juice to whining about a lesbian kiss in a Pixar movie. Imagine surviving decades of censorship, police harassment, and being labeled a “threat to society”… only to turn around and fear visibility for others who’ve been marginalized just like you.

Proud of this pamphlet - our dysfunctional media is at the heart of so many UK policy failures from austerity to Palestine. As @hardeepmatharu.bsky.social puts it: "all too often, journalism in Britain operates as an extension of power rather than a check on it"

“The reason why concern for truth doesn’t dominate in the reasoning process is because that’s not what is actually relevant for the person trying to make sense of the reality in which they find themselves”. Professor J McKenzie Alexander @lsephilosophy.bsky.social

At the National DI Conference, you’re expected to work on teaching, not merely talk about it. There’s rehearsal. There's feedback. There’s repetition. And there’s a final Check Out form - because ultimately we all came here to learn new skills. educationrickshaw.com/2025/07/24/w...

Excellent blog by @nomadwarmachine.bsky.social. Educators need to be both sage and guide, the key being to know when to be one or the other. You’re absolutely right. Occam’s razor strikes again. @suebecks.bsky.social @profsallybrown.bsky.social @philrace.bsky.social
