The @NASW and the entirety of the Child Welfare field should be screaming from every platform they have. Remaining silent in this while we teach our students about trauma-informed perspectives is so deeply heinous.

The other day, John Howard urged No-voters to “maintain the rage”. Today, in The Australian, Noel Pearson is quoted as urging Australians to “maintain the love”.
There’s our choice, Australia.

Five years ago, my novel won the Best Fiction of the Year award at #Zaporizhzhia book festival. I never mentioned it in my bio in English because who would know what Zaporizhzhia is? Now I want you to know it was once a place of literary events and joy. It will be again.

Not one letter to the editor about the Palestinian massacre today in the SMH and only a small square on the bottom of the front page referencing the bombing of Hamas tunnels. Page 17 half a page.... Is this balanced reporting of an international tragedy?

Feb is ovarian cancer awareness month. It's hard to know what to say about this monster. But, if you're feeling bloated see your doctor and insist they check for ovarian cancer. A blood test will tell you if any further tests are needed. Be insistent. Early diagnosis is key.
Today marks the first day of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. 2021 is the year we celebrate 20 years of improving support and awareness for #ovariancancer and making incremental progress in care and treatment. Find out how you can help this #OCAM2021: bit.ly/36rkvPm

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."
