Stopping by to say we had our dating scan today and all is well! A very wriggly baby, a strong heartbeat, and currently measuring at 12w5d. We've still got a long way to go and there are times it all still feels scary. But we also have so much hope! Thank you for all your prayers for the 3 of us 💛

This is a genuine shame. Timpson was a rare example of an “industry expert” parachuted into government that was rooted in genuine expertise and integrity. With a prison brief burdened by cost cutting and punishment rather than investment and rehabilitation, Timpson feels a particular loss.

Some (big) life updates: A few weeks ago it came to light that I meet the criteria for Antiphosphilipid Syndrome (APS). I'm yet to receive a formal diagnosis but it's likely APS is the reason behind our 3 miscarriages Two days after getting this news, we found out I'm pregnant again

Having to travel 1hr on public transport (no air-con) to spend the day sitting with our whole directorate in a poorly ventilated room (also with no air-con) for a conference where the keynote speech is about supporting students' wellbeing feels painfully ironic.

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting

Screenshot of the article's graphic, showing color swatches derived from the Earthcam archive, illustration the color of the reflecting pool calibrated against satellite imagery, from 8 June to 19 June 2026. I chose yesterday, 19 June, so it rendered the US American flag with a green hue instead of blue.

It's not really a beer festival in a rural British pub unless a stranger accidentally spills their drink on you and whilst then chatting, you discover the most tenuous thing in common prompting them to ask "I don't suppose you know ____" only to find out you in fact do.

The most dangerous thing about AI is not that the machines might one day think. It is that we are being trained, by men with enormous financial gains riding on our acquiescence, to stop thinking for ourselves.

Very important now for all of us who work with young people to make it very clear to them that they can still come to us about things they see online that scare or concern them, even if it's something they are banned from accessing, and we won't be angry with them.

“We don't need a kinder, more inclusive settler colonialism—a bigger tower built on the same rotten unstable base. A decolonized faith says no to empire consistently, outside and within. Our safety & security cannot come at the expense of anyone else. May we see that ever more clearly.” Patty Krawec

People may know that they will never be royals, but they believe they will be safe in the white supremacist, Christian nationalist world being built with their cooperation. They believe they will never feel the violence that lands on those who are not the same, whose skin color means they will never be the same no matter what they say or do. People will protect their innocence by denying the harms or reframing them as help or safety.

That, I believe, is what made God so mad: Exploitation and authoritarian control that wages the violence of imposed sameness. Same language, same beliefs, same goals, same everything. It might sound nice until you start to consider the cost of that sameness…

World Cup players are being denied entry to the US. Some are being detained, searched and treated like criminals. They have one thing in common…. They’re not white. The US has no business hosting the World Cup when it’s hostile to those from other parts of the world.

It's been 100 days since the US reportedly bombed a girls school in Iran, killing 100+ kids. I pressed members of Congress on what they're doing in response to one of the most horrific war crimes in modern US history. Some didn't even know about it. And some just didn't care:

A church that "keeps the peace" by betraying the vulnerable, marginalized and oppressed is a church that has betrayed Christ himself. A church that refuses to stand with and boldly affirm our LGBTQIA+ siblings has sided with the powers of death. Christ demands better.

In Doppelganger, @naomiaklein.bsky.social shows how white supremacists assume the victimhood of those they oppress, presenting the evils they do as evils done to them. In Britain, where black people are 7 times more likely than white people to die after police restraint, this is what we are seeing.
