B0 If you need to go past to go to the loo that’s fine, but if you’re going to the bar partway through the film that’s just poor planning.

If you feel like donating to the RNLI, here’s a link. I just have. Their minimum donation is £2: I think it might be nice for them to receive a lot of donations this week, even if they’re mostly very modest. Just so they know a lot of people out here appreciate their work. rnli.org/support-us/g...

I absolutely love Natalie Haynes’ Stands Up for the Classics and have been listening to the episode about Hypatia. Was left wanting to see the sculpture she described in the show so I’m glad that she’s posted it here. Highly recommend giving the back catalogue a listen if you’ve not heard before.

After previously starting 2 different NPQs and not finishing them, I’m super chuffed to have actually finished the NPQLTD and passed it! In spite of stepping up to a national role partway through and wondering how on earth I’d manage to get it done. 🧑‍🎓

Trying to think of a fitting way to honour Dolly Parton’s memory and the best I can come up with is just to try to “be more Dolly”. She seemed like a real force for good in the world and if more people were “being more Dolly” every day then I’m sure the world would be a much better place.

This is such a good piece by @daisychristo.bsky.social . English and maths are NOT optional extras and we CAN do better - not easy, but necessary. Part of a great run of blogs on policy around this that are all well worth reading. substack.com/inbox/post/2...

Is anyone else on here a Picturehouse member? For some reason it won’t show member prices (or my free tickets) on the app or the website. Wondered if anyone else is having the same issue?

I agree. I’d figured it out before I even finished reading the clue!

I really loved Babel. So much so that I’ve since bought it for a couple of people as a gift, and that I’m currently reading another by the same author.

Meh… AI wasn’t allowed to choose what type of vienetta they wanted as a treat once a year 😝 I maintain that “fancy” is in the eye of the beholder 🧐

They were definitely fancy in the 80s. We only ever had a vienetta if it was someone’s birthday.
