Cllr Fitzgerald’s comments are a reminder of why our work is so essential. Attempts to narrow children’s horizons must be resisted. Education should never be a tool of indoctrination – it must be about preparing young people to think freely and understand others. humanists.uk/2025/09/17/r...

Good Morning folks!

This Friday we'll be returning to The Foundation Coffee House on Whitworth Street in Manchester for our regular co-working sessions.

Numbers are a wee bit low (expected with the evening meetup last week), but it'd be great to see some faces there 👍

Just under a week to go until the next Manchester WordPress User Group to take place.

We're about half way through "selling out" (it's free). Let's get to two thirds. If you're in #Manchester #Stockport and use #WordPress in any capacity, we'd love to see you! 🐝

The perfect introduction to humanism. #Thatshumanism from Humanists UK features Stephen Fry narrating four animations and brand new classroom posters on values, ethics, and meaning. Explore here: humanists.uk/thatshumanism/
That's humanism
Humanists make sense of the world through logic, reason, and evidence, and always seek to treat those around us with warmth, understanding, and respect.

A school 30 minutes away from a major research HEI is 2 TIMES LESS likely to receive a scientist visit than a school 15 minutes away 🏫🚗

That’s where I’m a… projects come in! They’re online, no travel involved, so students in any part of the country have the opportunity to connect with scientists.

Humanists are non-religious people who shape their own lives in the here and now because we believe it's the only life we have. A lot of people share humanist values without even knowing the term. Maybe you're a humanist! Find out by taking our quiz!

I installed the Fair Package Manager (@fairpm) on my personal site last night. I'm excited to say it worked flawlessly. A couple of plugins were updated from Fastly's servers, & a paid plugin updated from its servers as normal. I'm excited to see what else comes from this interesting development.

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.”
Absurd we still need to go through this
