Important reflections from todayās #DLGLforum. Just some words and phrases that have resonated with me today: Bravery. Honesty. Human. Collective responsibility. Culture add. Resilience. Support networks. You are not on your own.

Did this cop also āforget which side his taser was on?ā If someone is armed with a small knife... you have multiple ways of de-escalating/disarming them without shooting a teenager in the fucking chest 4 times. Are these people trained to do ANYTHING other than shoot-to-kill?
Day off, chilling on the balcony and the Robin thatās been building a nest here keeps flying back with food. I can just about hear little chirps every time she returns. Theyāve hatched. Spring is wonderful š§”š§”š§”
