Peer mediation can be transformative. It empowers young people to resolve conflicts themselves, and points to the possibility of a more peaceful world beyond the classroom. With the publication of a new report showing its benefits, we’re calling for peer mediation to be mainstreamed across schools.

Reading about middle class people talking about working class people is weird. They never quite get it, there's something missing.
Like they might nail the sociological, economic and political academic stuff, technically.
But there's like a lack of experience, probably

So the dr's just called to tell me the me/CFS referral has been refused.

Racism is not justified by immigration levels or rising poverty, unemployment or crime.
It is not justified, period.
I see the rising wave of voices & arguments justifying the rising levels of racism as the most sinister political development in 2025 on the British landscape.

The Home Secretary explaining that the rise in racist violence is, actually, the natural response to higher levels of immigration is a state of affairs that can't exist without the government having largely decided that racist violence is, if not legitimate, at least understandable.

I suppose I think, or have experienced, like reasoned logic and facts from experts won't work with most bigots, because they hate 'boffins' and there's a lot of class mistrust.
That's why we need to organise

My FAVOURITES!!!
For our final #AutumnArrivalSpotlight, who else but the stunning Waxwing?
These Scandinavian visitors are a winter favourite with their vibrant crests and yellow-tipped tails.
Watch for flocks feasting on berries in parks and gardens, our seasonal showstoppers!

@quaker.org.uk Hello Friends 👋 would there be any possibility of a post referencing Transgender Day of Remembrance?
My prayers are with the trans community today, and so often, as they're increasingly marginalized and persecuted.
Thanks for all your posts!

i reiterate my case that the true alpha in any given group is the mum friend with spare pads and cheesy crackers and a mysterious number of packs of wet wipes
Whereas the top wolves are basically just acting like parents and making sure everybody’s got food and letting the cubs crawl all over them.
Honestly, the most wolf-like people around are mom friends and the dads who check your oil and sneak jumper cables into your trunk.

Right. Taken it. The Experiment begins
I'm in a lot of physical pain, and I'm due to travel Friday. So I might try the codeine I've been prescribed.
But scared though; don't have the best history with painkillers
