Dear British Press,

There is nothing in Prince Harry’s autobiography as scandalous as the implosion of our NHS.

So please report on the things which are actually important

Thanks

Rob (a non spare a&e Dr)

(Please retweet if you would like the press to change their focus)

It took 250 odd years for his deathbed plea- that his corpse not be put on display for the public amusement of rich toffs- be respected. RIP Charles.

Excise "slave" from your vocabulary. "Enslaved people" better expresses that slavery is not inherent to them but something done to them.

Normalize saying "slaver" and "enslaver" for those who supported and actively participated in the institution of slavery and its existence. They chose to support the enslavement of people and thus to define themselves by it.

Define people by their choices, not what they were forced to suffer.

I got my steps in and I ate lunch. I forgot the rest! 🤦🏽‍♀️

Because fascists lack a coherent political worldview, they have the biggest tent in politics. Contrary to popular belief, fascist movements do welcome all races, sexual orientations, and gender identities.

As long as you share hatred of some of the same groups, you can find a home in the fascist movement. If you're a trans woman who hates Black people, you'll find a home in the fascist movement (as long as you're willing to overlook transphobia).

If you're a Latino man who hates women and wants to dominate them, you'll find a home in the fascist movement (as long as you're willing to overlook racism). You'll be useful to the fascist movement as a token or ideological shield - they can use your marginalized identity to further their cause.

This is why you'll see gay fascists in a crowd of Proud Boys who are shouting "f*ggot", Black fascists storming the Capitol alongside people shouting the N-word at police, and Jewish fascists at an antivax rally standing next to people holding signs saying that COVID is a Jewish conspiracy.

Back to work again tomorrow in school.

Some plans:

1. Eat lunch every day
2. Do the hard things first
3. Get my steps in
4. Do secret nice things for people
5. Clear my desk every day

Let’s do this*

Good Morning :-)

Satyendranath Bose was a brilliant theoretical physicist born this week in 1894 in West Bengal (now India).

In 1924, while on faculty at the University of Dacca, he wrote a short paper to Albert Einstein about indistinguishable particles related to quantum theory.

Einstein immediately recognized Bose’ genius, translated the work into German & made sure it was published. Bose ideas led to Bose-Einstein statistics which continue to be studied in quantum mechanics. #science #history #HistoryRemix

This is an AMAZING FIND from Dan. I just chucked a scene from Macbeth in and OMG. I need some time to think about how best to use this. Thanks, Dan, for sharing. https://twitter.com/teach_smith/status/1609854173150855168
