The Ishizuka paper is not only a paranoid exercise in decoding "harmful" tropes everywhere, it's also wildly fraudulent. Here, for instance, is a passage about the racist symbolism of ink stains in a Cat in the Hat sequel... which forgets to mention that the ink is PINK.
Am I concerned about what a rights holder does with some mostly minor works? Maybe not, but I'm certainly concerned when a classic author is targeted for a takedown that peddles lies and omits important details such as Dr Seuss's anti-racist work.
Earlier this week, the business that preserves and protects #DrSeuss' legacy said six of his books 📚 will stop being published because of racist and insensitive imagery

Chatting with @laurarathbone and @ranilillanjum today gave me so much food for thought. At one point Laura asked us which book/paper changed our practice and our lives. So I thought I would share a few ideas/models/books here that have influenced my practice over my career!
Barry Mason's #safeuncertainty is a concept I come back to again and again. To feel safe in not knowing is vital for an open conversation with patients. The rush to feel certain is understandable, but can shit down growth and understanding #barrymason
This book is nearly perfect, in my mind. It sums up having to navigate a confusing world, having to act when you don't feel like acting, and how to hold faith through it all. My favourite to talk through with children and adults alike #drseuss #ohtheplacesyoullgo
This says it all. #WomensMarch2020.
