I donβt know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is
Lightning Tree & Rivers of Babylon.
This has caused a rumpus thus week. Hundreds in South Yorkshire affected with, in many cases, their money apparently missing...might be nothing to do with it directly but might explain cold feet π¬π₯Ά

I wish I could go back in time to 1978 when XJ Kennedy & his family moved next door in our little village in Yorkshire, England. His son Matt was in my class. I'd never met a real American before. What a thrill for 8 yr old me. If only I'd been older. I'm still in touch with Matt π.

I come onto Bluesky thinking it's nice here & what's the first thing I see? π
I listened to it right before the match & I'd gone up a few notches in positivity so thanks for the crash-landing π

Throwing shade on the good name Wendy when we need all the positive affirmation we can get.
I remember student teacher Miss Lane from London & she supported West Ham. She played us Tubular Bells & we made choc eggs. She was magical π.
Thanks once again to the Times Higher for reminding us all - hundreds of job losses and the evisceration of entire disciplines later - who the real victim is in all of this.
Has he been reported to the Law Society? @thelawsociety.bsky.social
Trumpian? Have you seen your leader's latest social media posts? Populist & as grubby as Farage. How did the Greens allow it...?
Is there a difference between how Reform & the 'new' Green Party do politics? π€
This is the sort of thing Reform would post. Disappointing.
My 'working class' experience evidently very different to yours.
It was nothing to do with limited horizons for me & my siblings whose working class parents wanted the best. It was not having the opportunity for grammar school (no 11 plus & no one to push), going to a sink school. It was not having anyone in the family to mentor. It was not having books at home.
