I haven’t yet watched the Idris Elba programme as I’ve not been in the right mood. I find it frustrating when we have these moments of celebrity & political focus on an issue many of us have been focused on for decades with endless research, evidence, insights & experience ignored.

I watched 13th again. Feels so powerfully relevant today in both a US & UK context. So many of the themes are currently playing out. If you’ve not seen it do watch, feels particularly pertinent this week as Trump takes office. www.netflix.com/gb/title/800...

journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... - This article, written by me and Susie Hulley, explores the trend of using rap music in criminal trials.

I’ve dedicated a #SundayThread to #giselepelicot before but she deserves another one. This weeks thread “an answer to rape culture is a society so harmful for perps/potential perps that these men know their attitudes are not the norm”

@pedroplainsse.bsky.social always nice to see Twitter connections carry over!

I moved just over a year ago into a small flat with no space for my ancient IKEA billy bookshelves. I’ve been dreaming of getting proper fitted bookshelves so I can get my books out of storage & they were fitted today! I’m so happy I could burst! 📚💛

Blue sky is the 'nice app' where white people make starter packs about their interest or research area but somehow do not notice that these lists are all white and then further do not engage when this pointed out. But you are not racist, right?

Interesting thoughts & questions here on paying young people for involvement/co-production ⤵️

Politicians and the Public focus on two ends of the Criminal Justice system: Crime/Policing and then sentencing/prison. The middle bit is vague & often misunderstood/misrepresented. That’s why courts and the legal system aren’t ever top priority and why in part, it is in such mess.

Our colleagues at @workwhileuk.bsky.social have been working with young people to create a new definition of 'good work'. Good work is more than just decent pay, and it can be make or break in terms of young people's wellbeing and future careers. feweek.co.uk/good-work-wh...

I wrote something for ADCS about relational children's services. TLDR: relational institutions need both relational people and relational infrastructure for the people to work in. @jimbaggaley.bsky.social @jamestplunkett.bsky.social might be of interest www.adcs.org.uk/roses-and-co...
