So many are talking about the riots & legitimising their actions/feelings because "they're frustrated" when they have no idea what those people are like. I know that group. I grew up in that group. I could so easily have been IN that group. The issues are so deep-seated. /1
I keep thinking how 3 little girls were killed & more were hurt & traumatised, & instead of talking about their precious lives, we are being forced to focus on violent entitled white men burning cars & towns, who don’t give a shit about women’s & girls’ safety.

Whatever the outcome of the World Cup final, Sarina Wiegman has once again shown us all what great leadership looks like.
The world expects us to play a role, and it wants us to look the part. Woman. Man. Mother. Wife. Breadwinner. Boss. Grandparent. Champion.
But the barbell — or the goal posts; the mountaintop; the finish line; even the top of your basement stairs — doesn’t care about your costume. All that matters is what you can do.
Like “move things from A to B and run fast and lift heavy,” says newly crowned Fittest Woman on Earth @laurahorvaht 🇭🇺. She earned the title with feats of strength and speed; technique and control; power and perseverance.
We all face scrutiny and stereotypes. We’ve all tried and failed at some point or another to fit into a mold we weren’t made for.
Maybe that’s why so many of us are drawn to sport. To physical conquest.
Barbells don’t un-lift themselves because you look like you shouldn’t be able to handle their weight. Miles aren’t discounted because you don’t “look like a runner.”
On the field and in the @CrossFit gym — and ultimately, in life — work is what matters.
And as Horvath says (and proved last week), “It’s amazing what our bodies can do if you put the work in.”
My regular reminder that to have the ‘mubble fubbles’ (16th century) is to experience a bout of melancholy such as the Sunday evening blues, combined with a vague sense of impending doom.
6.5% is a good offer. Better than I was expecting for us to have on the table. But if it isn’t funded it’s game over for so much of education. You can expect gargantuan class sizes, four day weeks, no extra curricular provision, no teaching assistants and decimated SEN provision.
