There's research to suggest that just ONE consistently safe adult makes a huge difference to a kid's outcome. It doesn't have to be a parent or relative. It can be a teacher, a neighbour, someone else's parent, anyone. What matters is safety and consistency and here it is. Good on ya, bodega man. 🥹

This is cool!! Well done !!!!

Dear @stephencolbert.bsky.social,

Thanks for all the years of speaking truth to power & finding the funny in fascism.

Slide with text- University ofGlasgow What is an "Actlve Bystander" A bystander is someone who witnesses conflict or unacceptable behaviour. We are all bystanders at some point. An active byslander moves from recognising unacceptable behaviour to taking stops to make a difference

So the amazing @shiyunzhao.bsky.social tried to jump out of shot but my camera finger was faster 🤣.

RFK Jr. boots all members of the CDC's vaccine advisory committee Health Secretary RFK Jr. has removed all 17 members of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. He says replacing them with new members will help restore 'public trust' in vaccines.

Equal Justice under Law. Words on US Supreme Court

Wondering what the estimated 360,000 Americans in prison for drugs offences (over 75% Black or Latino) are thinking about how a ketamine-using White supremacist got so much power?

These figures should be heading the news every evening. Except, as we know, many lives of our fellow humans really don’t count (and go uncounted)

This looks so great: an evening with @liangrhea.bsky.social (social media medical royalty) hosted by @medicalwomenuk.bsky.social

Yes -- I can really see the similarities. Thank you for your reflections!

Thank you for this fantastic, important and timely paper.

So much of this resonates with what is happening within the microcosm of healthcare 😞

We argue:
•Place-based solidarity helps us understand how a shared commitment to place can keep services running under austerity.
•Place-based solidarity has tensions and limits. It is not currently a sustainable solution to the retreat of the state.

Former surgeon general says Congress has failed to protect children’s mental health Vivek Murthy, who worked for Obama and Biden, called for more data transparency from social media companies so researchers can study the internet’s effects on kids.

“We’ve got to do the same for social media— it’s the equivalent of putting our kids in cars with no seat belts, with no air bags, and having them drive on roads with no speed limits and no traffic lights. And that is just morally unacceptable.”

Not for the first time this week I find myself asking what on earth is going through Keir Starmer’s mind? The best interpretation is that this crass decision was made without his knowledge and will soon be fixed.

Really good piece. Disputes about authorship, encouraged by a perverse promotion system that discourages collaboration, have done so much damage to academic endeavour. I’ve mentored lots of young people & seen how often they are exploited and bullied my egotistical seniors.

Why we fall for fake health information – and how it spreads faster than facts If the health content you see on social media sounds too good to be true, it’s very likely false – but there are ways to check it out before sharing.
