Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

What does Europe mean to you?

It's quite emotional watching all the positive responses to this question

For me, it's still about peace

And as nationalism grows, this is more important than ever

What about you?

To so many of us, Europe is more than a place, it’s a part of who we are. Hear what the public had to say when we went out and asked them what Europe means to them.

I've just done Stand Up Against Harassment training, designed to empower bystanders when they see harassment taking place.

These free 30-minute webinars are run by the Suzy Lamplugh Trust and are available to book throughout the year.

Free half hour bystander training
This free training empowers people to be active bystanders when they see harassment taking place, without putting their own personal safety at risk.

Go and listen to this wonderful episode, unless you haven't listened to part 1, in which case start there. It's magical 🐬
🆕 AESOP II: A dolphin and a seagull were hurling insults at each other 🐬

Is truth a set of facts? Might something fake be authentic? Can you contruct a truth out of lies? And why are unreliable narrators more compelling?

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there.

The show must go on.

For the US president’s cheerleaders, the whitewashing of the deaths of ten of thousands of Ukrainians is a small price to pay for sticking it to the wokerati.
