‘Across The Universe’ Alnmouth Bay to Coquet Island, #Northumberland Almost the universe! 😀

I'm a real artist now! This £11 A4 MALA IKEA kids drawing board/bag is perfect for drawing in front of the TV or even out and about and you can carry your pens and paper inside it! Cheers @pauljholden.com for accidentally bringing it to my attention 😀

M&S has been advertising on GB News, which has aired claims that the trans-inclusive Progress Pride flag is associated with a "misogynistic ideology that has proven to be a direct threat to human rights". Yet they say they're "celebrating the LGBTQ community": www.marksandspencer.com/c/pride

“Featuring Gary Barnacle On Saxophone” is now entering my vocabulary for ever.

#dailydogwalk Well, the alternating days of blue and grey continue. Despite the mild, sunny day, the waves are truly mad! White waves further out than I've ever seen! Magnificent!💙🤍💙

⏰ It's the final countdown! We need you to support QueerAF's critical crowdfunder! Want to know more about what we're up against? 👇 🧵

There's so much on the To Do list constantly but there are families and parents who I will do all I can to listen to and give them a space to talk because of cartoons like this. Sometimes we need to stop 'doing' for a moment and just listen. It's not always possible, I know.

Happiest of Birthdays to my kind, thoughtful, caring, dedicated, friend @hazelmpinner.bsky.social 🎈

My mission in life, even in hard times. Maybe especially in hard times. H/T @jpjanetsplanet.bsky.social

84% turnout in the German elections and while worrying that the AfD will be the largest opposition party, very relieved that they're going to be the opposition not the governing party. Thank you Germany! #GermanElections

Just a little Monday morning motivation this damp & dreary February day. #GetYourHappyOn m.youtube.com/watch?v=FZJw...

Happy Monday, have a great week!

Good #morningmugshot to all scrolling by the #teacher5oclockclub virtual staffroom. Welcome back to the second half of school year 2024-25. Let's do this!

#TrackOfTheDay Have a fantastic start to the week all! 🎶🧡 @mrsveritea.bsky.social @kcauchi.bsky.social @amandarussell35.bsky.social @deputypaul.bsky.social @compscitsui.bsky.social @sneekylinux.bsky.social @nickidigest.bsky.social @gaiinz.bsky.social @oliverslt.bsky.social @rfwatson.bsky.social

Day 24 and thanks to @brianmosespoet.bsky.social for todays inspiration and songs that have titles that are questions. #FebMusicChallenge25

"prayer deserts the mouths of those who need it" From 'The Vanishing Song'

I've just signed too. Let's send a message to M&S.

The Peggie tribunal is months away from a judgment, but the TERFs are doing a victory lap anyway and planning to make vulnerable children’s lives even harder.

“Let us pray (the Hail Mary) together...” Pope Francis Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art though amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Hail Mary, Mother of God pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death, Amen. #PopeFrancis 🙏💙🕊️

Sunday Scaries?

Absolutely delightful afternoon at @mrbsemporium.bsky.social today. MEGA ROBO FINALE PARTY! My thanks to all, that was really lovely. 🤖🤖❤️

Discworld QOTD, from Thief of Time '"What will you do?" said Susan. “Lie,” said Lu-Tze happily. “It’s amazing how often that works.”'

1800hrs & mums taxi is out for the second cricket practice session of the day, but it’s light! Whoop whoop! 🚗🏏 #TalesOfACricketMum

Why is a visual timetable always seen as the magic bullet? Yes I know everyone wants to know what is happening when. So do I. So I’ve had one in every classroom I’ve ever had. Yet every expert who’s ever advised has said/written “use a visual timetable” when they could see there was one 🤷‍♀️

Ramadan is due to start next week (28th) Lewisham Islamic Centre have produced a 2025 guide for schools. Pass to your SLT/Heads of year/tutors etc. Includes dates and prayer times. ugc.production.linktr.ee/5ee79e8f-3ab... #TeamRE

PICTURE BOX (1966-1993), ITV's legendary Schools show, had one of the creepiest theme tunes ever. Off-kilter and queasy, it ensured that kids were thoroughly unnerved by the time presenter Alan Rothwell appeared.

I've always been a fan of the BBC. As a parent of preschoolers, CBeebies cemented that (I'm still astounded at stuff they learned) Now the kids are older, the new Gladiators series are perfection for family viewing. Credit to whoever cast the gladiators and mapped out the panto-vibe. #ThisIsOurBBC

I cannot express to you how much of a culture change (and huge win for me) it is that we can now tell people what is happening at St Nicks two MONTHS in advance. Previously we didn't even have two WEEKS sorted out.

If you have a spare few minutes today please check the #FebMusicChallenge25 hashtag, not just for the great songs chosen but also the stories to go with them ❤️ #FebMusicChallenge25 open.spotify.com/playlist/4dV...

#dailydogwalk It doesn't always have to be a long walk... sometimes an 'interesting' walk is just as good for dogs. Getting their noses working is really useful. (I think the stand up collar makes her look like she has real attitude😂😂)

Clubs and bars are out. Let's open a late night Bookstore where you can silently mingle, drink tea, and read into all hours of the night.

So they haven't "banned the word man" at all then. It isn't even like this is new. It's been fairly standard for years to say things like "tradesperson". Gender neutral language isn't just perfectly normal already, it makes more sense for most things. The outrage machine is reaching at this point.

Get your Sunday thinking caps on for todays #FebMusicChallenge25 as it may take a while.

Let me make your Sunday. Got a library card? Great. Download the Libby app. Free. Up to 10 audiobooks. FREE (cancel Audible). Up to 10 e books. FREE. (Cancel Kindle Prime). UNLIMITED high street magazines (I chose Empire, RW, Wired, Simple Things to start). NEWSPAPERS! This app is AMAZING.

"Lewis argues that it is an especially urgent time to fight fascism, even if that means fighting fascist feminists." I missed this the other day. Read it. It's very good. It eviscerates not just present-day TERFs but various other anti-feminist feminisms over the past 200+ years.

In a busy field, this is still one of the best.
