Hot take. Getting to know your neighbours, speaking to them and helping them is just as important as voting and a lot more important than chatting shit on hell sites like this one. Thank you for your attention to this matter. #PdGTips

I do think people really need to start believing again that good things can happen - otherwise life is just one painful retreat after another.

No one should be making a profit from children's care Add your name to our petition calling for an end to profit in children's social care: vist.ly/5kcqu

Screenshot of a We OWn It tweet that says "A National Care Service is long overdue and a welcome step. But if we're serious about building a care system that works, children's social care must be at the heart of it. Right now, an average children's home placement costs councils around £404k per year. And in 2021/22, the largest independent children's social care providers recorded £310 million in profit, from the public purse. Andy Burnham is right to say that we need a system with “care that is about people, not profit”. Reforms of social care must end profit in children’s social care. No one should be making profit from the the most vulnerable children."

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

I spent 8 years living in a village in the middle of nowhere not far from an immigration detention centre. On one evening I was locking up the pub (for clarity I worked there I hadn’t just broken into it) Two men appeared from the pub car park shadows. They were walking slowly towards me

As a handy visual guide: these two people are not from 'a different region or country'. They literally both have the same ethnic mix. Yet in different countries and different times they have different 'races' and in some places the same 'race'.

a rare example of a science figure that looks like a shitpost which is just photos of real events: babies trying to climb into tiny toy cars, sit on tiny toy chairs, and slide down tiny toy slides doi.org/10.1126/scie... (fig. 1)

three panels of a figure showing infants committing scale errors

caption:
Fig. 1. Three examples of scale errors. (A) This 21-month-oldchild has committed a scale error by attempting to slide down aminiature slide; she has fallen off in this serious effort to carryout an impossible act. (B) This 24-month-old child has openedthe door to the miniature car and is repeatedly trying to forcehis foot inside the car. (C) This 28-month-old child is lookingbetween his legs to precisely locate the miniature chair that he is inthe process of sitting on.
