If a weapon is so dangerous that a squad of police officers are too afraid to confront a single person wielding it, that weapon should be banned.

[Jean Guerrero @jeanguerre]

98% of mass shootings are committed by men.

Bullying doesn't cause murder, nor do hard lives or mental illness. We have to talk about how we culture men to embrace violence as a quick fix for discomfort.

Violent masculinity is a cultural pathology.

I see this graphic with the first 2 pictures at almost every training I attend, but I love the addition of the 3rd pic. While we work towards equity, we must remember to also fight the system that is creating the inequity. #traumainformed #traumainformedchat #equity #aces

[Addison Duane, PhD @addisonmduane]

I’m becoming increasingly worried about folks who call themselves trauma experts because of how subjective, personal, and varied psychological trauma can be for each person. I’m an expert of *my* trauma, but can I really be an expert of someone else’s?

[Counts As Writing @CountsAsWriting]

Today, making plans to go to therapy counts as writing.

Bonus: Removing the stigma around therapy and acknowledging it’s good for you and the people around you, counts as finishing your whole rough draft.

Weeks of paid maternity leave offered to workers:
🇬🇧: 39
🇮🇪: 26
🇦🇺: 18
🇩🇰: 18
🇫🇮: 17.5
🇨🇦: 17
🇫🇷: 16
🇨🇭: 14
🇮🇸: 13
🇺🇸: ZERO

We must end the international embarrassment of being the only major country on the planet not to guarantee a single day of paid maternity leave.

Giving kids grace is not the same as lowering expectations.

[California Teachers Association @WeAreCTA]

“I’m worried because I feel like we are teaching children to hold it in and to ignore what happened. 500,000 people died. That's real, and we’ve got to talk about it.” —@MsKass1

[Learning for Justice @learnforjustice]

As more schools return to in-person learning in the coming months, there will rightly be pushes for trauma-informed practices to meet the moment. Without first reflecting on how schools themselves cause and exacerbate trauma, these efforts can fall flat.

#BreonnaTaylor was a bright light that was tragically extinguished one year ago today. We have failed to deliver justice to her family! I hope the new Attorney General, #MerrickGarland, authorizes an investigation!

Personally I think it should be easier to raise the minimum wage than to drop bombs on Syria

Non-educators, understand that when we are talking about testing children it is not something they sit down and take one day.

We call it testing season. It’s a marathon of physical and mental stamina. It takes weeks, even months of preparation. The actual test is 2-3 full days.
