@duolingo how can I buy gems for my under 13 year old who is part of my Duolingo family?

[David@Nautilus @DavidNautilus1]

Boy walks into reception late for school.

Receptionist says ‘late again!’

Enters building. Passing member of staff says ‘are you late again?’

On his way to class, someone else asks him for a minute. ‘Are you ok?’ They say.

Boy confides that he has no bed. 4 children in a 2 bedroom house. Mum has late nights and he gets himself ready.

Good to consider how we may greet some children in a morning.

Big 4 bank profits were up 700% in first half of this year compared to 2020, so I’ve just asked the Chancellor to introduce a windfall tax on banks’ excess profits, to fund support for households struggling with energy & housing costs
If you agree he should please RT! 🙏

@Siobhain_Mc @UKLabour @Siobhain_Mc we lost our beautiful sister Sarah to this horrible disease in 2016 at the age of 30. I’ve just been so moved listening to you on @BBCWomansHour Sending love and strength to you for your grief journey and also for this fight to improve funding. Standing with you.

So short sighted, so wrong.

[Callum @callum2591]

Imagine being a vulnerable young person in @NHS_Lothian or @LothianChildren and being told that the @NavigatorYouth service, which has been your lifeline since 2021, is closing due to lack of funding. This is a devastating blow to the mental health and wellbeing of our youth.

So much this. And we’re doing so little about it.

[Professor Ahmed Hankir @ahmedhankir]

This cannot be overstated. The longer I work in psychiatry, the more & more I’m constantly reminded that one of the most harmful factors affecting our mental health (if not the most harmful factor) is poverty.

@Glinner With another human being. There isn’t a young child in sight in that picture. People who abuse children are much more likely to blend in and be hidden in plain sight.

[Zelda Reynolds Breingan @ZeeBCrew]

@Glinner So much hate stirred up by items of clothing…that is the sad thing here. I’ve never read comments with such a lack of compassion, kindness or any attempt at empathy. The vitriol is terrifying, not the outfit.

Nuns on Twitter don't usually get involved in politics... except when social justice and the dignity of each human person is at stake

Love this @BuildingCchs thanks for the reminder

[CCHS Building Resilience @BuildingCchs]

A gentle reminder if all you did today was keep going, jump up, punch the air. Do it now 💜 That’s all you need to do and it is enough. There will be days when you can do more #selfcare #smallachievments #traumainformed #MentalHealthMatters #takingtimeforyou

@james_pepe247 Sending love. One minute at a time.

[EIS @EISUnion]

The EIS strike action will go ahead as planned tomorrow and Wednesday. The dates for our 20 days of rolling strike action have also been approved and are available on our website: https://t.co/IqD9jPy7vA

National teacher strike action continues - most schools expected to be closed https://t.co/1iUAiK3iIn #EISNews #PayAttention #EISStrike

[EIS @EISUnion]

Teachers do not want to be striking, & would much rather be in class working to support young people’s education – but, having been compelled to take strike action by the inaction of Scot Govt & COSLA on pay, Scotland’s teachers are not going to back down #EISStrike #PayAttention

@josierones Thank you for speaking out
