In 2025, if you like an artists work online, share it.
I see AI generated art getting thousands of views, while hard-working creatives go unnoticed. Artists don't exist in a vacuum, creative people need the oxygen of support to find their audience. Find what you love, and shout about it. 👍❤️

When did it become normal for airlines to not have checked baggage as the norm? Which clown decided that!
When I see a price for a longhaul flight, why is there no luggage allowance! 😠😡
I need to revolt!

Black History Month is coming up with the theme ‘Reclaiming Our Narratives.’ In education, let’s ask: Whose stories are centred? Whose are missing? It’s time to move beyond performative acts and make Black British History truly part of British History—beyond single stories and beyond struggle.

I think with Ofsted announcements, and the Church of England removing graded inspections, there are now big questions for the Catholic Education Service.
