The guy has literally interviewed the KKK, but this is radical rhetoric too far?

Thanks, I respect him even more now. Death to the IDF indeed.

Where I'm at so far with a theme. Gotta finish up the top bar with community subscriptions and tidy up the user part on the left before moving onto the feed.

As in old.reddit or the old “new” reddit they apparently changed a week ago.
I’ve been messing around with customising themes all week on https://quokka.au, and I would be happy to give it a shot.

It's now live on https://quokk.au as well!
This is a great feature to hand, as I was reliant on newcommunities and communitypromo to find new comms.
- Comment on Incident 2 months ago:
That’s the same excuse people who hit their kids use. You could have turned out even better, with better care and education.
As for tracking nappy changes, it can help with assessing any health issues and tracking long term trends, it’s useful for toileting as we can see how frequently and volume of accidents to help understand their needs for prompting, it’s useful for parents to know if for example they’re going out straight away and need to change before hand, and it’s useful for child protection (our records show that this educator changed the nappy at the time of the incident etc).
- Comment on Incident 2 months ago:
No, that’s not sufficient. I’m sorry you were let down by the educational standards at the time.
- Comment on YSK that despite being outside of US jurisdiction, Lego has dropped diversity and inclusion terminology from its annual report 2 months ago:
Lego is an anti-family company.
- Comment on Incident 2 months ago:
Yes.
The current advice I’m given in Australia these days is that it’s better for children to sleep and be monitored than kept up and to become exhausted.
If we had genuine belief that a child had a concussion and not just hit themselves on a fall (happens daily), we would ask for the child to be collected by parents.
- Comment on Incident 2 months ago:
Management can not just slot in to replace an educator.
Especially not when you have 6 rooms of adults picking their kids up after finishing work at 5.
The simple matter of fact is there is not enough time to talk to ~20 families each evening and give a summary of their kids day.
- Comment on Incident 2 months ago:
We log this information for a whole host of reasons. Many parents sadly don't get the chance to speak to an educator in depth to discuss their kids day, tracking medical needs, etc. A lot of parents don't even look at this, but it's useful to have if it's ever needed.
My only complaint, and this extends to all the genuinely important paper work we have to do is that we never get enough time to be off floor to do it.

- Comment on Most people's earliest memories are at around 3 or 4 years of age, which correlates with the age kids start asking "why" for everything. Kids start asking why when they become self-aware. 4 months ago:
I work with babies under 1, even they can point to pictures to “ask” me to name them. Knowing others know stuff is basic.
Theory of Mind isnt something we use in my field, but from a quick glance it’s knowing other people have minds, that they have their own desires, feelings, thoughts, etc not that they know information.
In ECEC terms we would think of that as the end of their egocentric stage. Usually seen around 1-3.
- Comment on 4 months ago:
The Western Bulldogs have bribed/lobbied the local council to scrap the requirement that they must have a not-for-profit childcare centre.
This move will allow the Western Bulldogs to steal money from Australians via increased fees and the kickback they receive from a future for-profit provider.
