How dare @BBC connect scars with blot, stain and stigma as 'marks of shame'
Shame on you @BBC and shame on the people who bullied me for my scars as a kid, but #noshame on me for having them.
Dear @BBC & @OnlyConnectQuiz.
We were disappointed and shocked to see scars described as “marks of shame” on your show recently.
There is #NoShame in having a scar.

To understand the values in a culture, we often examine which behaviors get punished.
But we also need to consider which behaviors *don't* get punished—what people get away with.

I have finally read ‘No Hard Feelings’ by @lizandmollie
An emphasis on psychological safety will empower everyone within a team to increase their individual capacity enabling enhanced contribution to the collective.
@mspearsonin3rd Remember that you can't pour from an empty cup.
Make sure you take care of yourself. 1st year teaching is tough but so many rewards are embedded in the process. Good luck and have fun.
Things people aren't afraid to say when they have psychological safety:
-I don't know
-I made a mistake
-I disagree
-I might be wrong
-I have a concern
-I have an idea
That's made my day been made, @sanditoksvig just said I asked an excellent question - it was about fruit pastilles, but hey, I'll take that! #WomensEqualityParty
"We had the Forest almost entirely to ourselves. And this made us feel that it was our Forest and made it possible for an imaginary world - Pooh's world - to be born within the real world. Pooh could never have stumped a Forest that was littered with picnic parties." ~C.R.Milne
On a day for the history books, @TheAmandaGorman delivered a poem that more than met the moment. Young people like her are proof that "there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it; if only we're brave enough to be it."
51% of girls in the UK have experienced public sexual harassment since June 2020. They’re being followed, shouted at, touched, groped and grabbed. @OurStreetsNow are campaigning with @PlanUK to make this a crime. Will you join them? https://t.co/yM1OLHrGRb

I'm calling for urgent funding for childcare in the #SpendingReview with @WEP_UK. The govt has found billions for defence. But half of childcare providers risk closure in 6 months without support. @RishiSunak women can't afford to lose their jobs because they can't get childcare
