What do people do with BISH
A lot of you visit BISH every day, which is nice, but what do you think about it and how do you use it?
www.bishuk.com
Thousands of young people read Bish every day, but what do they like about it, what do they do with it and how does it help? 1. Vibe 2. Depth and breadth of content. 3. Inclusive (feminist, LGBTQIA and straight cis lads too) 4. Helpful tools to take away. Lots more 👇🏻

So @goingmedieval.bsky.social gently persuaded me to do a podcast with her about Lily Allen's album. We argue that it's less to do with a failed experiment in open relationships and more to do with old fashioned patriarchy. Wherever you get your podcasts...

I’m usually giving counsel of despair so let me offer a hopeful note now: all this is the desperate thrashing of a dying generation, horrified to see up close the consequences of raising their children to believe violence and racism are wrong, and that people should treat each other decently.
This one really is useful because you won’t see a more clear demonstration of one of the most damaging political phenomena of the era: the reactionary professional mind rejecting unacceptable reality, only able to process and comprehend it via something close to conspiracy theory.
Former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz says Jewish students shouldn’t have smartphones until they finish high school — so they don’t see the “carnage” Israel and the U.S. have carried out in Gaza.

I remain forever disappointed in “online safety” advice for families being about banning phones and social media.
And very rarely about having conversations, explaining risks and reflecting as adults on what we trust
The adults are the ones who need the most advice, in my opinion
