Are TV execs finally realising people prefer to watch celebrity/reality shows where contestants are kind to each other? Traitors, I’m a Celebrity, Strictly - have all been so much better to watch. It’s refreshing. There’s enough nastiness in life, we don’t need more for entertainment. #BeKind

This is why it's important to have Arts/Humanities courses AND STEM courses. It all fits together, they compliment each other. There's no such thing as useless education.

Just finished reading #BabysBreath by @russincheshire.bsky.social What a rollercoaster of a book, with a plot twist I didn’t see coming! A great read and hopefully the first of many more novels to come. Can we have a sequel please Russ? 🙏 🤞

Brexit Curse. NHS cancer patients denied life-saving drugs due to Brexit costs. Cost of importing new cancer drugs quadrupled. Shipping costs up 10 times. Brexit destroyed collaborative research. That wasn't on the side of the red bus. Save lives. Rejoin the EU.

- Young carers missing on average over a month of school - Over 20,000 young carers persistently absent - 3 times as many late sessions 2023-24 attendance stats just as stark as 2022-23. When we talk about pupils missing learning, we have to be including young carers. carers.org/news-and-med...

Shocking school absence figures for young carers show they urgently need more support
Nearly half of young carers in secondary school miss a day every fortnight. They need urgent support. Read more.

Temporary accommodation isn’t a home. When one child's sister is forced into an electricity cupboard, another is terrified of violence, and a third suffers damp conditions, it’s clear: 10,360 kids in Scotland deserve better. We owe them our fight. #HousingEmergency www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhlh...

Noisy cicadas out singing today. On the left side of the tree below is an adult Cicada. They lay eggs in a crack in the trunk which then hatch as larvae, fall to the ground & stay burrowed for several years (up to 17 years in some places). 1/2
