@MrChuckD @elonmusk Thank you, Chuck! So tired of the doom loop predictions. Musk will be fine, alright.

@Grimezsz Wait til you learn more about infant mental health (Brazelton, Nugent, NBO and so much more!) Babies have minds and are communicating with us from the very beginning.

There is a massacre taking place in Rafah now. Paramedics are not able to reach the bombed homes and streets.

@fjdone_jane Oh good (I’m not following him). It’s hard to fathom that someone who is well acquainted with lifespan development is not aware of the shortcomings of Jo Frost & her harmful, unsupported-by- modern-research, disciplinarian style. Disappointing when it is a respected person.

[bcwestern @barbarawestern]

@fjdone_jane Yeah. That sounds like a clear red flag alert. I hope I’m not following this person?!

[bcwestern @barbarawestern]

@fjdone_jane Oh dear. The one positive that Jo Frost researched and publicised is the mythical link between sugar consumption and hyperactivity. Other than that, her parenting methods and values are abominable. They don’t cancel each other out. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day!

@GreenMedia_MMA @VivCunnngham @EamonnVIDF Of ffs! That book is aimed at 14 to 18 year olds who *gasp* are naturally exploring their sexuality. Is sex dirty and bad for you? That’s a pity. For you. The rest of us are free to learn about our bodies and what feels right and good in a consensual relationship. Sex≠crime.

@wendylyon I’m sorry, Wendy. It’s just so horrific.

Sadly, we lost Phil (my little brother) in Feb 2019. He saw The Cure play in 2016 and was still hugely inspired by you. He can’t come to see you on this tour but we can (all the people who loved him and love The Cure) See you tomorrow in San Diego! ❤️😻

[bcwestern @barbarawestern]

@RobertSmith Do you remember this teen in Vancouver BC the summer of 1987? He was one of the biggest Cure fans ever! You all hung out and went for dinner. He told you how much he loved the lighting on Snakepit:) Meeting you marked a trajectory of Phil making music for decades 1/2

@wendylyon @RTE_PrimeTime It's so dangerous to prohibit any kind of medication/drugs. Government can be so short sighted and completely misguided (wrong!) in terms of safe supply and harm reduction. Infuriating and heartbreaking. I've lost two siblings in the last 4 years due to these draconian measures.

[Bo Bolander @BBolander]

debating on whether or not it's ethical to murder people if they inconvenience you feels like a culmination of the past ten years, accruing layers of increasingly absurd societal cruelties as they roll towards some unfathomable nadir like a snowball covered in dog shit

@ManMadeMoon Get a library card and use Kanopy (for free). Public libraries are providing the cultural archives we need.

@wendylyon *in UK/Irish media

[bcwestern @barbarawestern]

@wendylyon Another transphobic article in UK media? They’ve no ethics at all. Just print hate that the status quo eats up and uses for their own transphobia. Horrific to see education continually being weaponised to promote fear and hate.

[bcwestern @barbarawestern]

@ST__Ireland *UK and IRISH media don't even try....

[bcwestern @barbarawestern]

@ST__Ireland That first paragraph is full of hyperbole, transphobia and a disingenuous quote about why EB was in court. UK media doesn’t even try to disguise its bias & hate. This is not journalism, it’s anti-trans propaganda.
