Today's establishment is focused on robbing the already exploited and limited wealth of the hood. Robin Hood robbed the rich, helped the poor, killed nobody. That's a noble 'outlaw' for you. Be #robinhood

I've written a book about my experiences with loss, I lost my mum to leukaemia when I was 6 & my dad to alcoholism at 21, this is a very personal book & I just want people to read it and talk about grief more.
It would mean a lot to me if you order a copy https://t.co/9OLPsoineE

we contain multitudes - it's silly to think one is just one 'thing'

read diversely. not talking about demographics, though that’s part of it. aesthetic diversity, genre diversity. it matters because it just makes us better informed, and it protects us from our worst instincts.

Ofsted’s initial teacher #wellbeing research suggests:

“76% of teachers report that their job impacts negatively on their mental health and 60% report that it impacts negatively on their physical health.”
