“...take a book, leave a book, share a book”. Or, just decompress, because books don't judge. It's lovely to see more of these spaces in hospitals as we start to recognise their importance- it can't all be hustle and bustle and efficiency. #MedTwitter

Standing up for childhood would be ending poverty, raising income supports, making *all* healthcare free and accessible, mental health care for all, affordable and secure housing tor everyone, funding public education fully, ending discrimination, ensuring economic justice…
