It's pretty obvious that there's a nasty thread of racism behind the flags but it's also pathetic. If you actually care about your community go and volunteer at a local charity! Don't put stuff up on lamp posts that will go ragged and annoy people ffs. 🤦‍♀️

Amazing photo! @carlbovisnature.bsky.social

People know exactly what‘s going on.

I'm definitely here for shameless self-promotion @jeremyjenkins.net. As my friend @laurahallain.bsky.social always reminds me, 'it ain't boasting if you can back it up'.

Sorry to keep banging on about it but it's literally *they are on Twitter and think it's the majority view*

Most of the public know what’s going on with flags on lamp posts. Crucially for the government, 78% of its 2024 voters think anti-minority sentiment is involved in flying England flags (versus just 15% who think it’s just a national pride thing). They are getting the politics of this all wrong.

We lost my uncle last night. He was in his 90s and frail but thankfully he died at home with my mum and my cousin there. Planning to hold our family tight this Christmas. ♥️

Would be great to spread this far and wide so we make as much money as possible in COLCHESTER tomorrow

Really interesting interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social. He comes across as genuinely sticking to his values. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

I sometimes feel like I am going mad. Owning a £1.5m home is not normal in London or the South East of England.

A very good boy! 🐾🐕😍 An amazing c. 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian dog carved from ivory. This leaping dog opens and closes its mouth as if barking by using a lever below its chest. The Met 📷 by me #Archaeology

All of this thread. ⬇️

Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.

What a goddamn legend. Every big tough conservative masculinity guy has been crying about how terrifying cities are to live in for the past two years and now Trump wants to move back to NYC

Handy summary. Taken down by a charming socialist. 🤷‍♀️

what I need people to know about “whence” is that you don’t also need to say “from.” you can simply command them to return whence they came. let us be brief with our banishments

Rambling thread from earlier today. When all else is chaos don't forget to focus on the positives. 🧵☺️

This is weirdly cool imho. 🤷‍♀️

A timely reminder

🌱 The variety is vif d'etampes.

It's very hard to understand how we've ended up with so many quite frankly psychotic men in positions of ultimate power. Hence why we need universities, I guess, because I'm mostly baffled. 😒

Such a treat to be on Lewis and Harris when snow storms pass through. A phone image until I get home. Since Sunday, we've had calm sunshine, rainbows, freezing wind, intense white snow clouds. Just perfect for an already photogenic island. #scape #landscape #Scotland #stormhour #coast

Bluesky is basically what happens when you refuse to put up with bullies and bigots. It's okay not to give them the time of day. Block freely and without thinking twice about it. 👍🏻

I went on a festival of block earlier.

A short thread with my thoughts on breakfast clubs. 🧵 It has always been difficult to make wraparound care financially sustainable because of the ratios needed versus the likely/potential take up. It's not just about having the space to do it or about when the school is technically 'open'. 1/4

What a fascinating thread! #geography

Just had a lovely chat with the uni kid who has been volunteering at a food bank in between writing essays. Young people are great! ☺️

Home Office: How dare people say we are acting like the far-right? Also the Home Office: These far-right graphics look great, let's copy them.

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door. This is who it was:

Others have said it before, but if 'AI' was any good, they'd be charging us for it and we'd be happy to pay. Shoehorning it into every single aspect of people's lives just reeks of desperation.

I have no clue how this new approach is going to work in PVI early years settings where we only have one inspector and inspections can be as short as 3 or 4 hours. But then I suspect Ofsted have no clue how it's going to work either. 😒🤷‍♀️ schoolsweek.co.uk/more-collabo...

You can add exemptions to immigration rules for different groups, it doesn't make a blind bit of difference. When you say that migrants are second class and "less than" others, as this government is doing, that feeds through to everyone. Migrants aren't a disposable resource to pick and choose from.

Today in ‘AI should be nowhere near children, families or schools’

I have this joke I do in CPD about how you know you've got your teacher voice right when your OH says 'don't talk to me like I'm one of your kids'. I think this joke explains a lot about how some people operate on social media. Edutwitter was a hot bed of this. Thankfully it's less prevalent here!

This is a thread that will make you smile! ☺️🧵

Ok but this is totally something Charlotte Church would do

The simplest definition of "enshittification" is this: Google has made it ridiculously difficult to google things and get a genuinely useful result.

Mini thread from this morning. The government needs to stop enabling a toxic site. 🧵

We're all making our way through this consultation document and I'm initially struck by the risks of discrimination towards those with disabilities, single parents, women etc.

Ffs these people are bringing about the end of feminism with their obsessive bigotry. Does she not understand how ridiculous she sounds?

Attention aux feuilles mortes qui ne le sont pas 😬🍃🍂

"Do you think the plebs should get a jury trial" is such a thrilling line from Labour, truly great to see this
