Brianna Ghey was murdered by someone who went to her school. Maybe we should ban schools, not phones?
On Brianna's 19th birthday, this morning I joined @cheshirepcc.bsky.social and the Brianna Ghey Legacy Project Phone Free Education campaign at the launch at Jodrell Bank of a new £150k initiative to make Cheshire the first county in the UK where ALL state high schools have lockable phone pouches.

Love this piece on Erin Patterson's deadly Beef Wellingtons -- including the fact that death caps are not native to Australia and arrived in the roots of oak trees that settlers brought to Europeanify the public landscape: "the fungal legacy of colonialism"
