I live in Frome and work in a school. I do radio things. Introverted dad. Special needs parent.
Amy is a friend of mine. Her new book, Arthur, is utterly brilliant. Highly recommended.
Loremen Podcast@loremen.bsky.social · 3w agoAmy Jeffs joins us with the tale of King Arthur's most important quest: learning what (medieval) women want. Thanks to the Loreboys, this retelling has more Super Mario references than you'd expect.
I want the Prime Minister to look into a TV camera and say the RNLI are heroes, that we do not change policy by street violence in this country, and that he expects any criminal action to face the full force of the law. That's it. That's all he has to do.
If you can watch Farage laughing and joking with obvious delight as a young woman is beaten up in front of him and still vote for Reform I can only conclude you're an absolute piece of fucking shit. This does not seem an unfair assumption to make.

School uniform grants: Check if you can get up to £200 in support from your council
If you’re on certain benefits, such as Universal Credit, check if you can get up to £200 towards school uniform costs as a non-repayable grant. We've compiled council-by-council help for those in England, where around 15% of authorities offer support, plus info on more widely available schemes in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Great piece by @ginarippon.bsky.social about last night's C4 ADHD programme www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
There is nothing scientific about The Great ADHD Myth? ‘documentary’ | Gina Rippon
Channel 4’s programme wastes a chance to ask important questions about how ADHD is diagnosed and treated, instead indulging in unscientific methods and conspiracy theories, says author Gina Rippon

ADHD is a real condition that can have serious consequences if undiagnosed. An ill-informed documentary that suggests it is a modern, social construct could cause harm, says Caroline Williams

Sad new about Bill. He was funny and had an unpredictability about him which I loved. He was also a great song writer too. RIP youtu.be/6PlLVqrGlRg?...

I admire the Spanish team, but a bit like Arsenal they're difficult to love.
I still find it incredible that Widdecombe described herself as a 'Christian'.

Labour doesn't seem to like Send schools for kids like mine – but here's what we'll lose if these precious places are forgotten | John Harris
An autism school in Wiltshire exemplifies what’s so different about education in a tailored environment, and the outcomes for children speak for themselves, says Guardian columnist John Harris

The racism we're seeing across the right today is vile and dangerous but it's also a sign of desperation. Three parties all fighting over the votes of aging authoritarians.
Many of the 'patriotic' balloon heads on Yaxley-Lennon's pathetic protest will say they aren't racists. But they're happy to attend a match organised by a massive racist, listen to racist speeches and stand shoulder to shoulder with racists. Tragic
So often the press, politicians and electorate treat the powerful as if they are who they pretend to be and not who they so obviously are (Farage, Trump and so many more)
He doesn’t have dementia, it’s kind of insulting to people with dementia to keep saying that. He is massively capable compared to an actual dementia sufferer, that narrative really pisses me off. He is just an awful human who has fallen upwards to the point he can break the world for everyone.
I can't the president of the US be one of those lovely astronauts?
