ADHD math is having 5 mins spare before you have to leave and thinking you can use it to clean the kitchen and mow the grass.

This does to Singapore what most Vietnam war films did to Vietnam - relegate a country who suffered through a horrific war into a backdrop for a foreign, white narrative where the only BESEA characters are portrayed as exotically sexual options or nameless aggressors.
An epic new drama following the lives of a British family during the Japanese invasion of Singapore.
The Singapore Grip starts 13th September on ITV and @itvhub #AllNewITV

Just remember that the Eat out to Help Out relief is going to cost the Treasury £500 million pounds apparently. Understand the need to do it.
But no real money for a court system that was once the envy of the world? Or “world beating” as they insist on calling everything now.

This is the reality for many parent/carers of children with SEND. We have spent 10 hours this week alone working on ‘SEND admin’. 10 hours we could have spent with our children. – at Reading, England

Lots of talk over K-pop stans going political on Twitter yet there is a reason why the whole "never have I thought I would stand with K-pop stans" meme was most people's initial reaction. Let me tell you why it was as a reporter who's been covering the scene. (1/14)

Did you know that when Ella Fitzgerald couldn’t get booked by clubs and TV because she was black, Marilyn Monroe offered to come to a nightclub every night and sit in the front row if they let Ella sing? That’s how you use your privilege for good.

Brutal @FT editorial:
‘The foundation of this UK government is a bunker of close allies surrounded by a lightweight, supine & largely ineffectual cabinet chosen mainly for their loyalty to Mr Johnson. Few show the gravity demanded of a secretary of state’ on.ft.com/2TEjBby

In quarantine, we're expected to be 1960s and 2020 parents all at once, a nightmare mash-up in the space-time continuum brought to you by a wormhole from hell. My column: nytimes.com/2020/05/24/opini…

Remind students that doubt is a normal emotional response to a challenge rather than an indication of incompetence. “They should see doubt as a natural and normal sign that they’re on the path towards pursuing something worthwhile.” ow.ly/3frK50zN4AY
