Here’s a fab picture of myself, Clara and @kmunday.bsky.social answering questions about our placements as part of the @scdtp.bsky.social
It was great to share the impact of our placements with the new cohort

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Oh my goodness. @zackpolanski.bsky.social liked my post…. Or was it his PR team? God I’m cynical 😂This engagement with the public could be the winning strategy
I have always voted Labour but left the party last year. I am coming around to joining the greens. I love that Zack is winning over the next generation of voters which is something no party has tried to do in my lifetime. And the slogan ‘let’s make hope normal again’ - genius.
Can't even go out for a dance without these guys having an opinion!

Gorton & Denton is Greens Vs Reform.

We must make sure hope wins.

A friend asked me to make a Mexican wrestling mask for a friend of hers who is ill to cheer him up. I found this. I’m doing it in blue, white and pink and it won’t have hair.
I’ll post when it’s finished 😂

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Stormzy was very unsure about stairs in his new house.

Absolutely no bother to him now!

You love to see it!!

I watched ET this morning. I watch it at least once a year. It’s my comfort film and I still cry every single time I watch it 😭

This is what I made instead of working on my failed ethics submission. I now have my granddaughter for the night, we’ve played shops and made cakes. Much more wholesome 😃

Ive tried to think about my PhD and my failed ethics application but I’ve decided to crochet something instead. #academia #phdlife

I went to Birmingham recently and told them I was up north and they laughed at me. Im from Brighton, everywhere is up north except for possibly Cornwall 😂
Am Scottish and went to Brighton to study when I discovered that when English & Welsh people talk about The North they're not referring to Scotland. Still blows my mind more than 30 years later.

I couldn’t agree more
Andrew Tate looked cream crackered by round 4 of whatever that was. We should just make a new boxing division called "Media Personalities who could do with a slap"

I also had a positive experience in A&E recently. 4 hours, a CT scan to check for brain bleed and stroke, loads of tests. Sent home with - Labyrinthitis, which was awful but not as bad as they initially thought.
All for free.
Privatising the NHS would be tragic.
I know there are some huge touch points in #NHS right now - but my 82yo mum just been in & out of A&E in 6hr, having been referred straight in by her GP for suspected pneumonia & flu- bloods done, ECG done, x-ray done, monitoring & meds provided, - all #FREE 💗💗💗NHS

Transgender and nonbinary youth whose pronouns are respected attempt suicide less: report

I wonder sometimes if autism isn’t the next evolutionary step for humanity.

A guest lecture for undergraduates at #UniversityofBrighton today, I talked about what’s it like to be autistic at school. Some lovely comments at end, including that it was so nice having an autistic person talking about autism #scdtp #phdlife #academia
