The city of Tulsa, home to one of the most horrifying racial-terror massacres in U.S. history and the people who tried to cover it up, has announced a $105 million reparations package.

When white women in leadership steal your idea and repackage it and give other white women to run with what you started! It’s ugly business and believe you me I’m not stepping back on this one

Connecting with RCN Fellows and past Presidents at #RCNCongress2025 was a real highlight of the week. Their wisdom, warmth and unwavering commitment to nursing leadership is truly inspiring. @ruthoshikanlu.bsky.social @calvinmoorley.bsky.social @natlou28.bsky.social @kumbikariwo.bsky.social #Cecilia

Apart from #InternationalDayForTheEliminationOfDiscrimination today is also #SingleParentsDay! Wishing all fellow single parents a happy day, and continued success. It is the most challenging role I have had to date. Single parents often face discrimination too! Thanks to everyone in my village!🙏🏽💜

This post reminded me about a day I spent in a bookshop in Oakland, during my #ChurchillFellowship to the USA. It was February 2020, #BlackHistoryMonth in the States. I spent several hours at Marcus Book store I didn't want to leave. Happy #InternationalDayForTheEliminationOfDiscrimination!

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. We hold a variety of books, eBooks and articles on this topic, so why not take a look? Browse our Reading list here: buff.ly/f5glym4

It's great to be back on here. Took an enforced break. After returning from Australia, came down with the nasty virus that has been plaguing many. Grateful to be vertical again. It's been a busy week! Today it was @nursingtimes.bsky.social #SNTA 2025 judging with fabulous colleagues.

A super busy 3+ weeks in Australia undertaking the 2nd leg of my @churchillfship.bsky.social #ChurchillFellowship in Trauma-informed Care. Now I am aiming for #TraumaResponsive care. It's not enough to be informed! We as healthcare professionals must learn about how trauma shows up & respond to it!

such a joy to spend time with @ruthoshikanlu.bsky.social at #SydneyNursingSchool. Exciting conversations in global efforts to rid #Nursing of #colonial & #racist histories @sydneyuni.bsky.social @sydneypolicylab.bsky.social @pcpicop.bsky.social @louisesheehy.bsky.social

There is greed. And then there is this. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

Why do high-profile child-abuse cases involving elites escape scrutiny? As debate swirls around ‘grooming gangs’, Peter Thurlow looks into systemic bias, selective justice and bandwagon-jumping politicians.

Good scholarship opp here:

Wishing you all a happy and joyous New Year, with every joy and success for 2025 David x

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

#HappyNewYear #Happy2025! From London! 💜💜💜

Out in London Town tonight

I’m old enough to remember Boris Johnson telling businesses Brexit paperwork could go in a bin. Now they need a warehouse to store it in

I have been quiet on here! I've been busy being present with those who truly matter to me: my immediate family. Came back from holiday last week and have been very reflective. I'm in #Gratitude mode! On our return flight, we hit #stormDarragh 1/

So TIME Magazine is putting convicted felons and adjudicated rapists on their cover now? How disgraceful.

Fact. Dunning-Kruger effect.

Its not only medical misogny but sdd misogynnoir to that Black women are also treated differently www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

One year ago: Remembering that day in Dublin, with #RCSI_Nursing with great affection. Best wishes to you all, and for the next Award Ceremony for new Fellows, 2024. @lauraserrantltd.bsky.social @ruthoshikanlu.bsky.social @calvinmoorley.bsky.social davidtevans.wordpress.com/2023/05/21/f...

For 150 years district nursing worked pretty well. Alongside primary care ot seemed a pretty proven model

Covid corruption commissioner starts fraud probe Well I hope he gets a lot of our money back after the Tories and their PPE corruption.. And I also hope some of the profiteering wrong 'uns go to jail Let's see. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is huge. The EFJ represents over 295,000 journalists in 44 countries 👇 www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/media/e...

Trickle down economics has been nothing short of a disaster. Get our union-printed shirt now and help @rbreich.bsky.social and Inequality Media get out the truth about this economic scam: inequalitymedia.goodstockcompany.com/product/YGBc...

Writers: yes, you are still a "real" writer if you - have never published anything - have no readers - didn't write anything this month - didn't write anything this year - can't articulate words anymore - can only float and mournfully wail - were murdered ten years ago on this very spot

UK Covid corruption commissioner starts fraud probe. First focus: £8.7bn of unusable PPE bought during the pandemic. A gimmick to manage public opinion or will anyone be prosecuted - Grenfell, Leveson, infected blood, Post Office, banking crimes ... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

'Doctors, charities and MPs' are not the primary providers of end of life care. I wonder if anyone bothered to ask nurses who actually do this work or thought to address the 50% loss of district nurses
