"One time a caregiver was supposed to start her shift at 7 a.m. and she never showed up. ... What I did not do was report my caregiver to the authorities or fire her," writes @SFdirewolf. https://t.co/52e9M5l1cp— CNN Opinion (@CNNOpinion) February 22, 2023

Our Fear of Video Games Harms Children. There's so much around which tells parents to be scared of video games. We're reminded about 'gaming disorder' and told our children are at risk. Having strict screen limits sometimes feels like a marker for 'good parent'. 1/— Naomi Fisher (@naomicfisher) February 23, 2023

“You’re Making It Worse”@naomicfisher  When a child is struggling at school and become reluctant to attend, their parents are given advice.  Most of it is about how to ignore their child’s distress.  1/ pic.twitter.com/tbb7moSaN0— Missing The Mark (@_MissingTheMark) February 20, 2023

It’s good to see that others are adding concerns to this post. For clarity I didn’t actually look the all the resources on the website as I couldn’t get past the first few lines 🤦 what chance have our kids got if this is the way we’re talked about.

Don’t mean to sound mean, but I really don’t like „Kinetic Cognitive Style“ & I’d be interested in diff. opinions. The emphasis on „cognitive“ is not great imo + this seems far away from discussions in the ADHD Community ab e.g. emotional regulation (remember „DREAD Pirates“?)… https://t.co/NffsOwk8Gp— bother, rants, retreat (@ADHDandPhD) February 21, 2023

Clean air works! Ventilation, filtration, and masking all help clean the air. Lots of schools will talk about their ventilation but cannot tell you specifics. Take/sneak a CO2 monitor into the classroom and see for yourself what the numbers say. https://t.co/oPhU4m79uS— Abrome (@AbromeEd) February 13, 2023

It's not a empirical problem for Liz and other Plague Spreaders. It's a moral and philosophical one. To live equitably and in community with other people, especially marginalized people such as the immunocompromise, violates their supremacist thinking.— RiShawn Biddle (@dropoutnation) February 14, 2023

This sort of anti-moral, non-communal, White Supremacist and eugenicist thinking is problematic for several reasons. As journalism, it basically treats all opinions as equal even when evidence demonstrates that one side - that of the Plague Spreaders - fails the test.— RiShawn Biddle (@dropoutnation) February 14, 2023

The standard for journalism isn't neutrality, a perspective that favors the comfortable with power (usually White and with access to the latest treatments even while others are shut out) at the expense of the afflicted. It facilitates propaganda.— RiShawn Biddle (@dropoutnation) February 14, 2023
