Wonderful insights/reflections on what Black staff need from white managers/leaders. If you've got time, this is a great resource!

Merry Christmas to this wee one, and this wee one only.

[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

Proud to vote for this groundbreaking legislation, making Scotland the first country in the world to provide free period products for all who need them. An important policy for women and girls. Well done to @MonicaLennon7 @ClydesdAileen and all who worked to make it happen

Heartbroken to see and hear @SekaiMachache beautiful portraits @BLMMuralTrail have all been torn down / slashed in Dundee. I don't know what's worse - the fact that it happened or the fact it was anticipated that it might happen and DID then happen. Awful.

[Creative Dundee (Archived) @Creative_Dundee]

The nation-wide @BLMMuralTrail comes to Dundee with ‘a BREAdTH apart’ by artist @SekaiMachache. Her portraits - each featuring vibrant face masks designed with Fiona Catherine Powell - comment on the relationship between systemic racism and healthcare.

[Dr Aisha Ahmad @ProfAishaAhmad]

The 6 month mark in any sustained crisis is always difficult. We have all adjusted to this "new normal", but might now feel like we're running out of steam. Yet, at best, we are only 1/3 the way through this marathon. How can we keep going? THREAD /x
