That sounds so utterly beautiful and you sound like a wonderful teacher.
Stop literally everything.

This may be stating the obvious, but nonetheless it needs saying and repeating.

Death, displacement, disruption.

Absolutely right
Again, as with Guardian article, Mahmood's reliance on false/deliberately misleading claims about her "earned settlement" proposals suggests that she knows she can't defend them on the merits, in principle or in practice.
I definitely come across people who really don't know about the level of hate, hurt, & harm. Feel relieved that it was never a favourite series of our son.
"Take Back Power is a nonviolent civil resistance group in the UK. We aim to put the 99% in charge through citizen’s assemblies. We are ordinary people from all walks of life who believe that in order to fix Britain, taxing the rich is an essential first step, and we want ordinary people to decide how."
In light of recent news, reminding myself about @takebackpower.bsky.social.

Westminster Meeting House raided by Metropolitan Police again. Statement: “For Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life. Whilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent. That this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.” – Oliver Robertson, Head of Witness and Worship Quakers in Britain, 5 March 2026
Yesterday evening, for the second time in a year, the Met Police raided Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists.

BBC World Service's reporting is always so comprehensive & insightful, and particularly valuable amidst this latest war.
Ahhh, sounds cosy.
Perfect!
Ohhh that's so funny.
Bernard LaFayette, the advance man who did the risky groundwork for the voter registration campaign in Selma, Alabama, that culminated in the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, has died.
I have one grown up son & am from the UK. Dilley sounds utterly horrendous.
So hope he does!
In Supermarkets?! Didn't know that. Crikey.
Oh that does sound like less pressure.
Absolutely. And a really incredible book that a cool English teacher got us to read at school.
Love this so much!
Mixed feelings about World Book Day. On one hand, the stress of putting together outfits for a child with scarily high standards. On the other hand, a son who loved both reading & dressing up (& still does) & this offered a very rare school based opportunity for self-expression.
Mark E. Smith, singer, lyricist and only constant member of post-punk group the Fall, was born in Broughton, Salford, on this day 1957. Smith formed the band after attending a 1976 Sex Pistols gig at Lesser Free Trade Hall, Manchester, and was its leader until he died in 2018.
🚨 The Senate is expected to vote TODAY on a War Powers Resolution to stop Pres. Trump's reckless, illegal war on Iran.
There's still time to make your voice heard, and every call makes a difference!
Join thousands of people across the country and tell your Senators: #NoWarWithIran! 👇
Most telling part of this rant: That the war will go on until "we decide it is over," not until the aims of the war are achieved - because there are no stated aims; and Trump prefers having none, so any result will allow him to try to claim a "win."

There may be some logic in Reform wanting to disenfranchise the voters who they want to deport in large numbers. But Reform cannot execute their “deport and disenfranchise” policy before a general election in which their targets have a voice and a vote too.

Also, "the reality is millions of people across the UK show up for each other, their neighbours and their communities every single day."

"...extreme racial nationalist views of who is British or English were breaking into the mainstream with the backing of Reform UK and media cheerleaders."

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.
Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.
