The government plans to call Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg to the witness stand. The trial is expected to run nearly two months in a federal courtroom in Washington.
Thank you for your work on this, we've started to see something along these lines in our work with CYP. We're also concerned about the potential of some sort of 'social contagion'. It's controversial but it needs to be discussed. The pendulum may have swung too far.
Poetry hasn't really been part of my repertoire as an adult but I find myself reaching for it more and more in this rather mad world. Loving this one today.
Me too, some days overwhelmingly so, but trying to fight the paralysis that comes with fear and keep at the things I can do.
It's fab until December you becomes January you.
Ooh, I'll play. 45 😊
Gosh, when you discover people you cared for, knew about abuse and covered it up for years. How do you process that?

Hmm, can I use the term 'deep dive' in a Masters research proposal doc? I've only got 200 words to describe my topic area and themes,that's a silly word limit.
Regular James Webb/Hubble pics might be my second favourite thing about Bluesky so far. First is obvs the company.
Carina Nebula apparently.

I just found 2 litres I put in the back of the cupboard to stew (for 12 months) 4 years ago, it's remarkably good!

Sir Michael Marmot has become my hero. All of our talk is about health services or behaviour change but we're missing a massive chunk of the puzzle.
Amazing thank you
