@Muna_Abdi_Phd Thank you so much for this thread! It's gratifying to read. Bias trainings can reinforce the idea that racism is an act committed by an individual, conscious or unconscious, shifting the intervention away from white supremacy and patriarchy as interlocking systems of oppression.

My girlfriend just said "maybe for valentines we can go to a new park, one we've never been to before" and I have entered what I can only describe as a state of hysteria

@RaddingtonB Sometimes we are crazy and go out for our walk at 4pm instead of 3pm - then analyse the different walkers we see “haven’t seen them here before” or “there’s white Scotty dog 🐶 owner with a different coat on! #lockdownlife21

Professor Robert Dingwall, who sits on Nervtag group, on the AstraZenica / South African variant study: “It's very hard to see why this study has generated so much publicity unless people are looking actively for bad news stories”.

I don't believe in OBEs MBEs etc but Jackie Weaver should be offered one for services to local democracy. (I mean, obvs she'd then refuse it, because she already has the authority & doesn't need a remnant from the ghost of an empire, shining like a harbinger of its own doom).

@BenKentish I’m a taxi driver, i risk taking kids to school everyday because the alternative is losing my home and make my children starve 🤷‍♂️ but hey we don’t matter it’s okay.

[ScrumpyBetty @passmemytea]

@RealBillAngus @theAliceRoberts I love this so much.

[Health Nerd @GidMK]

I know I've said this before but if you think you've found an easy solution to a problem that all experts have missed, you might want to check to see if actually there are good reasons why it's not as good a solution as you first thought

I started experiencing some side effects on the way home that you might want to be aware of that I wasn't warned about.
They included a sense of optimism, great joy, and overwhelming gratitude to all responsible for the creation and distribution of the vaccine.
Spread the word.

[ScrumpyBetty @passmemytea]

@joemartin66 Yes me! All my colleagues in the NHS trust I work with who are patient facing have been vaccinated, thousands of us 😊😊😊 and we are all fine!

[Jamie Bartlett 🇬🇧 @JamieJBartlett]

We have a looming problem. Embarking on a vaccination programme of millions, where there will of course be exceptions & quirks. All reported on by a media & popular culture that prefers ‘personal stories’ over statistics. A recipe for widespread misunderstanding & fear.

@apesndaisies @HannahBarraclo8 There's a food pantry in the town where I live, still running in these Covid times ☺

@mrnickharvey I think I might just sack off the homeschooling and listen to your dad on repeat all day #feelinglow

So damn tired of living in a country that treats Black grief as a threat and white rage as a sacrament
