Finished reading Running my Own Race by @eyesab2.bsky.social with my Y5/6 class last week. They absolutely loved it, and it gave us lots of chances to talk about issues relevant to their own lives. Highly recommended.

This is not Switzerland, not Canada - this is Ukraine, where every season paints the mountains anew.

Autumn ignites the Ukrainian Carpathians. Golden ridges, fiery-red forests, and misty valleys reveal a beauty unlike anywhere else.

Perhaps @heidialexander.bsky.social can get a slightly bigger budget and we can just get on with it.

Diane Keaton was a true Californian. She was a self-described oddball, uniquely stylish, deeply creative, funny, and an acting legend who could steal the screen in comic and dramatic roles alike. She was in a class all her own, an icon.

It demands recognition that every life in the region – Arab and Jewish alike – has equal worth.

Greta Thunberg proved it with her determination.

She started a global movement
✊🏼🇵🇸

She turned fear into strength, anger into action.
She reminded us that you don't have to be powerful to change things - you need to have the courage to start.

“Is peace merely the absence of war? Or is it something else that involves prosperity, democracy, and the rule of law - a framework that means conflict can be resolved in a civilised way? That seems a more enduring vision than ‘we’ve stopped shooting at each other, for now’.”

How microplastics may be reshaping our bodies and minds.

Microplastics like those from car tires. The bigger and heavier the vehicle, the more microplastics shed.

The irony writes itself — the man who called COVID a hoax just rolled up his sleeve for the booster. It’s like watching the arsonist proudly installing smoke alarms. MAGA logic: “Do as I say, not as I jab.” Somewhere, Dr. Fauci just poured himself a very satisfied glass of wine.

Even when the conversation is 100% focused on one of the issues she cares most about, she doesn’t have a clue about the details, and gives an answer you’d get from a ten year old.
