@ashleyscottharris.bsky.social has given me the nerdiest possible birthday gift of a vintage Vidal Lablache school map circa 1959. It’s a great example of cartography in the service of (failed) statecraft - the ‘communauté’ would be gone by 1960. Pride of place in my office 🫶

Solidarity with all colleagues at Cardiff affected these brutal cuts. It’s so depressing (and short-sighted) that the same essential subjects keep being targeted. chng.it/QR85x4XHSJ

So what do you want to be when you grow up?

It’s one of the questions we commonly ask children, and it usually elicits a response along the lines of a garda, fireman, farmer, doctor or teacher
