Suicidal thoughts are more common than you’d imagine
BUT we are not our thoughts
Perhaps things have built up, you’re overwhelmed or can’t see how things can improve
Can you try to ‘stay safe’ for now?
StayingSafe.net has ideas for a way through how you’re feeling ❤️

Remembering the hidden history of disabled people in the Holocaust. The demonising of ‘useless eaters’, the propaganda to convince ordinary citizens that they were a drain on the resources of the State & the complicity of medics in euthanasia are lessons we should heed. Never more relevant. #HolocaustMemorialDay #Eugenics
ALT An exhibit from a Holocaust museum that shows a background of. A castle used as a euthanasia centre, with a bed & doctors gown in the foreground.
This was definitely worth my time this morning. If you work with children and families I would recommend. Not an easy listen, take care of yourself if you find echoes of your own experience in what Vic is saying.

We have been speaking to a healthcare professional who has been supporting a couple with a new baby. They are originally from Iraq, speak Arabic, and are looking to speak to any other Arabic-speaking family with someone who has Down’s syndrome.

What an amazingly brave woman. Shame must change sides.
In a heroic move, Gisele Pelicot fought to make public the videos of her unconscious rapes at the hands of over 50 men and won. She wanted the public “to look rape straight in the eyes.” Shame, she said, must change sides —from the victims to the perpetrators.
Police found more than 20,000 videos and photographs of Gisele drugged and being raped by various men on her husband’s devices in a folder titled “Abuse.”
On Friday, the judge complied with Gisele’s demand and showed the evidence “necessary for the manifestation of the truth.”
12 rape videos and 10 photos were shown over the courtroom’s three flat screens and projected into the overflow room for members of the public while the perpetrators in the videos sat in shame watching their own despicable criminal acts being exposed.

It's true that twitter provides a shadow of what it used to do in terms of connection and inspiration and a lot else that isn't welcome. But every so often I read something like this and think it's worth staying.

Local authorities spent £2.1 billion this year on private school places for children with special needs plans. Up 15% on the year before. Just aren't anywhere near enough special school places in the state sector.

These sheets are my non-negotiable in the first lesson! I've lost count of the number of times this sheet has given me key insights into pupils and helped me support other teachers with key students. Massive help for building valuable relationships with students.
