Such a loss: bell hooks, poet, activist, commentator on race, gender, and power. A gifted visionary whose work challenges the comfortable and comforts the challenged.
Unpaid Carers are a vast invisible workforce who do as much for people with disabilities and illness as the whole official paid health and social care system.
As of 2019 there were nearly nine million people in the UK caring for family members and friends with long-term illnesses or disabilities, saving the government billions each year. But this significant social and economic contribution comes at a cost. https://t.co/timegjPDdY

For 2 years Palestinians in #Gaza have been protesting for an end to Israel’s military siege and for the right to return to the homes from which they were displaced. In response, Israel has killed 250+ and injured 29000+. Justice for Palestine now! #EndtheSiege#ExistResistReturn
@dr_shibley Unpaid carers carry burden of dementia care, especially the coordination across confusing health and social care boundaries. Care coordinator roles never truly straddle that divide. PCC has to be properly coordinated.
@randyssheff @Randy sheff Totally unacceptable and offensive, to make light of rape/assault. No student I know will spending money on this. Change this now!
