Overwhelmed by the heartbreaking honesty, raw power and talent of this young man. This is not just poetry. It is a road map to guide children home. @bloomsburyed.bsky.social @worldkidlit.bsky.social @owlkids.bsky.social

Adultism is a subject with a huge amount of stigma surrounding it. It's a form of prejudice and systematic discrimination against everyone below the age of adulthood, both children and teens. My latest poem is about this. mutedoodleden.com/less-they-say/ @sobukira.bsky.social @snowcalmth.com

It has been a while since my last poem, which is mostly due to doing what most people my age do, playing video games. At the same time, that is exactly what

A major oversight, based on the Australian social media law, is that it does not actually make it illegal for a child to use a platform. The law puts the burden entirely on the companies to prevent accounts from being created or maintained by those under 16 years of age. (1/4)

Banning children from social media is not the answer. Millions use it to connect, engage and empower others and themselves, as this young person shows. It is often seen as a lifeline for children looking to understand themselves and the world around them. #socialmediaban #childrensrights

I can't say enough how awesome you are, Staś. I love how you don't repeat the slogan of "non-verbal doesn't mean non-thinking", but dare to back it up with your actual IQ scores. 👍 You deserve all the love in the world. 💝 ~ Emeryk

A very insightful poem about bullying, its effects and the complex reasons children sometimes engage in this behaviour. I cannot emphasise enough how precious these works of understanding are, so please do read and follow this young man.

This is my latest poem, and it's deeply personal. It describes my experiences with anxiety (GAD) and panic attacks, as best as I'm able to put them into words. mutedoodleden.com/when-everyth... @greennomad61.bsky.social @sobukira.bsky.social @snowcalmth.com #Anxiety #Panic #Poetry #MentalHealth

An important poem about war and the devastating ways in which it haunts children, and so beautifully written. “They say children are resilient; that’s just a fancy way of saying we survive things we shouldn’t have to.”

Apologising to everyone who has very kindly followed me. Still on The Platform That Must Not Be Named but will check in fully once I do a complete crossover 🌹

Will be popping on to @lbc.co.uk with @iaindale.bsky.social at 9pm to talk about ten year old Sara Sharif, and why home schooling is being used as a scapegoat for the child protection system’s endemic failings.
