'the promise', directed by peter kosminsky, somehow sailed over my radar when it was first televised in 2011; but i'm watching it now (through channel 4's free streaming service). one episode in & i'm thoroughly invested in its characters & story. its examination of britain's role in the current shitshow in gaza is a gut punch.
this article does a better job of enticing viewership than i ever could.

What to do if bullying? Try consistent boundaries

1. do not writhe or waver. (Movement attracts the bully)
2. do not attempt to appease. (Any offer is interpreted as weakness and obtains thrust)
3. flee to a safe position that you could hold with support
4. then stand still. Set limits on how others treat you. Affirm boundaries (The bully will redirect attacks eventually)
5. connect: turn to a trusted person, reach out only to someone you feel well about
6. offer backing, foster, become accomplice, enjoy

"Stating the outcome a policy is supposed to achieve isn’t a policy." 🧵

"Frontline staff who understand the system and understand why it isn’t working are always seen as the problem, never the solution. Politicians, civil servants, consultants, management boards, working groups – all [generally] assume they’re the solution."

Don't look to a stranger.
You know in the end,
I'll always be there. 🎶
