“We’re not dealing with bad apples, we’re dealing with a rotten tree.”

I wasn’t having it today. A snippet. #FireFullerton #LTC

A form of prejudice we don’t discuss enough: ageism. New data: people who believe in equality are less sexist and racist—but more ageist. They see older adults who choose not to retire as blocking opportunities. If you support equality, shouldn't it extend to all groups?

When people let you down, you owe it to them to let them know. Hiding disappointment breeds resentment—and sets them up to keep disappointing you. Explaining how their actions fell short of your expectations isn't unkind. It's an investment in improving the relationship.

The stereotype that swearing is related to lower IQ is based on the "poverty-of-vocabulary theory" & is exacerbated for women Research has also found that women who swear are seen as less competent but MORE attractive by men So what do you think? Should I occasionally swear?

The hallmark of a productive debate is not persuasion, but insight. In a good argument, you're as motivated to learn as to convince. You can declare victory when everyone involved has deepened their understanding, broadened their knowledge, or evolved their thinking.

Leadership is not boasting about what you know. It's having the confidence to admit what you don't know. You don't need to assure people that you have all the answers. They just want to know that you're committed to finding a solution—and capable of guiding a group toward it.

Being afraid to give someone honest feedback doesn’t mean you lack courage. It means they haven’t created psychological safety. Even if they haven’t silenced you in the past, they haven't given you a voice. If they want the truth, they have to prove they can handle the truth.

When other people are suffering, a common barrier to compassion is the fear of overstepping our bounds. It's better to give too much and risk some awkwardness than to give too little and leave people without care and support. When in doubt, err on the side of kindness.

Spent day in West-Midlands, taken aback seeing the desperate need for Overdose Prevention Sites, such pain & unnecessary suffering inflicted on so many Simple question we should all ask, where would you rather a loved one was if they were dealing with drug dependency 👇
