Can we do a study to find out if the people whose wellbeing is enhanced by arts and culture are the same people whose wellbeing is enhanced by sports and exercise? If they're not the same, can we stop telling depressed and anxious people that they just need to get out and exercise more 🤮

"Arts engagement has diverse and tangible effects on health, from supporting cognitive development... to reducing symptoms of mental illness and enhancing wellbeing" Great! As long as we don't start prescribing arts instead of meds for those who need them... www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Despite progress in gender equality, a UCD study reveals that primary school children in Ireland still hold traditional gender attitudes. Boys are seen as strong and sporty, while girls are expected to be nice and polite. #GenderRoles #Education www.irishtimes.com/ireland/educ...

Many people will feel relief from this result. Many others will feel fear. No one is cruel for being upset or selfish for cheering. But remember: this is only the start of the legislative process. And only the start of asking how the state can ease suffering - in life as well as death.

As always, @jimdickinson.bsky.social hits the nail on the head - #DisabledStudentsAllowance #DSA is a shambles, and disabled students across the sector are being badly let down and denied equality of opportunity. Humph. wonkhe.com/wonk-corner/...

A brief thread on alt-text. Alt text is descriptive text that conveys the meaning of an image. It's designed to make visual content accessible to people with vision disabilities. When a person uses assistive technology such as a screen reader, the screen reader will read the onscreen text aloud 1/7

I appreciate all of you who use the Alt-text description for the images you post. As a blind dude I feel so much more included here. For those of you who forget: Did you know there’s a reminder in Settings/Accessibility to toggle on & then it won’t let you post image without Alt-text. Thanks 🙏😎

Nearly 2 million blind and partially sighted people in the UK miss out when content isn’t accessible. Making your content accessible means everyone can join in. It’s like saying, “We want you here too!” Here’s our guide to help: rnib.in/AccessibleSocialMediaGuide

I would like to speak up today for the trans community. You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1
