@scriptwren Thank you for this.. The Handmaid's Tale put my son off reading and English in general 😏 I'm happy to see you're looking for something they will enjoy more!
Sadly Northern Ireland lost young Rangers lad from a great family. We would appreciate if anyone can join in and spread the word to get a minutes applause for him on 23rd minute on Saturday. A game he was booked on to go to. @RFC_Michael_@ibroxrocks@Follow_Follow_@RangersFC
BREAKING: In a devastating speech, iconic actor Robert De Niro rips Donald Trump to shreds, declaring that Trump is “not a bad man,” but “an evil one” who is a “wanna be tough guy” and has “no morals or ethics.”
But Robert De Niro didn’t stop there…
De Niro continued:
“Trump has no sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.
The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination. Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world.
We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.
The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior. That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.
Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.
So, today I issue another warning.
From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America:
This is our last chance.
Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.
And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.
So what do we do about it? We have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls. We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice. Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.
Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect. Let’s not talk about “democracy.”
“Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. Let’s talk about right and wrong. Let’s talk about humanity. Let’s talk about kindness. Security for our world. Safety for our families. Decency. Let’s welcome them back. We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump.”
Well said, Robert De Niro!
Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Robert De Niro for calling out Donald Trump — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX

Want to nurture your baby’s early language? It’s really not rocket science, but it does take your time and attention.
First, your baby is never too young to be spoken to. It may seem odd to have a conversational partner that can’t yet respond in conventional ways. But your baby is soaking your language up like a sponge.
And never forget they learn language from YOU. Not a screen. Speak face to face with your baby. Make eye contact. Put down your phone and light up that developing brain 🧠.
Talk, talk, talk. Engage, engage, engage.
You’ll be amazed by the results - and you will have set your baby on the path toward a lifetime of success.
Timely reminder that some of your pupils will be returning next week.
Consider that some of our young people had challenging summer breaks. Don't make them rehash by asking, "How was your break?"Instead, just tell them you missed them, and you're so happy to see them again. 🧠🌱
The brain processes and acts on information from the lowest parts.If a young person is dysregulated the cortex isn't accessible, the lower more primitive areas of the brain will act on these dysregulated feelings and emotions and won't fully process information🧠🌱
My 15 yo daughter’s work experience went wonky this week so I’ve been teaching her how images of nature improve mental health, due to fractal patterns alleviating stress levels the release of dopamine when we look at something beautiful.
She made this photo for you:
Olive oil up 46.9% Cheese 33.4% Eggs 28.8% Low-fat milk 28.5% Pasta & couscous 28.5% Flours & cereals 23.6% Jams & honey 22.9% Fish 16.6% Bread 15.3% Butter 14.1% Fruit 11.2%
Don’t tell us inflation is 8.7%.
For ordinary people it’s over 20% and out of control.
We need to get to the heart of their unmet needs that are leading the difficult behaviours we are seeing.
Poverty, trauma ,violence ,abuse ,lack of emotional availability, neglect, etc etc etc.🧠🌱
