We're Going On A Poetry Hunt

A fantastic article about recent elections and how different approaches have benefited different candidates. Fantastic mostly because the writing is sublime. I’ll be using this to teach my Masters students how to write a compelling and well-researched article! Bravo @benansell.bsky.social

This is what happens when people start to think government needs to turn a profit. Libraries are not businesses. Public parks are not businesses. Fire departments are not businesses. Health care should not be a business, either.

To our friends in the USA, it’s not in the top 5 stories, but you did make the BBC News website today!

🔥 OBAMA: “IMAGINE IF I HAD DONE ANY OF THIS… I say this not on a partisan basis. This has to do with something more precious — who are we as a country, and what values do we stand for?” 🇺🇸

You think the arbitrary arrest of political dissenters cannot happen in the UK? It already does. www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

This is so scary. I have friends in Miami, some who have become citizens and some on green cards 😢

Wishing everyone who celebrates, a joyful and peaceful Eid ❤️

Elbows up, Canada.

Take care of each other ❤️

Proud of our Prime Minister today, hosting this important gathering of world leaders, and demonstrating his skills in diplomacy this week. Good work Kier!

Hi Friends, Can anyone verify this? If its true it’s amazing ❤️ www.instagram.com/reel/DGb01AT...

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Who knew that Trump’s re-election would have positive outcomes for me personally… didn’t see that coming!

Today we asked my 14 year old for ideas for what to do today and he suggested a bike ride. What a great idea! We had fun on an otherwise dull and cloudy day ❤️

Hi! I’m new to Bluesky 👋 I’m enjoying the content but not the very twitter-esque format (I never joined twitter because it was so dull). Any ideas on how we can make it more fun (more like Facebook or Instagram)? Sharing photo of my trip to Stonehenge at Winter Solstice for fun! #stonehenge #newbie
