I'm privileged to call Robin a friend, and as such, have seen behind the curtains with what went on with Monkey Cage. When BBC bosses say they don't recognise his version of events, I was being told of them by Robin in real time. This stuff has been going on for YEARS.
I'm heartbroken for him.

After a six year break we’re were excited to announce that Camp Quest UK will be relaunching, with a pilot family camp in the stunning Peak District to mark the 30th anniversary of the Camp Quest movement.
We’re back! Camp Quest UK is relaunching in 2026!

Its funny how bothered Trump et al are about freedom of speech until it comes to criticism of their administration 🤔 No way i would visit States with that regime in place.
US could ask tourists for five-year social media history before entry
The plan would affect people from countries, including the UK, which can fill out a form in lieu of a visa.

One of the things that made the Camp Quest UK community so special was our culture of neurodivergent inclusion. This will continue to be an important focus following our relaunch. Check out these quotes for more information.

When I am finally victorious and my ideological enemies thwarted, all who opposed me shall be lined up and dutifully distributed their equitable share of the rights I fought for and they so vigorously opposed, because That Was The Fucking Point
nah dawg this is petty as shit
these people got brainwashed with propaganda and fearmongering
wanting only people who didn't vote for Trump to survive is misanthropic and gross

Humanism, ritual, and celebration (Event report). Our festive-adjacent discussion explored humanists’ complex relationship with rituals and challenged our community to think of the traditions we create and follow in. We also reflected on lessons learned in our first year as a local group.

I’m considering an agony/advice column. If you have a question about humanist parenting – or any family or relationship issue you’d value a humanist perspective on – please get in touch.
Reader questions and advice column – coming soon?

FIFA is such a corrupt joke. After Russia and Qatar I didn't think I could possibly be less excited about a World Cup. There's a reason FIFA openly say they prefer working with authoritarian regimes.
Q: Mr President, have you been told that you're going to receive the inaugural FIFA peace prize today?
TRUMP: I have been told. There's a rumor about it. That would be a great honor.

I'm continuing to explore the connections between neurodivergence and humanism, and their impacts on my parenting and inclusive community building. My conversation on the Embrace the Void podcast a couple of months ago was a lot of fun and set up a lot more thinking/reflection.

VERY funny that Labour are being pointlessly cruel and haemorrhaging support from their base and yet none of what they're offering is ever going to be enough for the people whose approval they're seeking, WHO could have predicted it

I’m the parent of an autistic kid. What CDC is doing here is offensive.
It’s offensive to me. It says his autism is the result of my ignoring evidence.
It’s offensive to my kid. It says there’s something wrong with him (there’s not) and it would be better to risk literal death than be autistic.

Initially, some moms of autistic kids eagerly accepted vaccine lies, because that way they could reject the "refrigerator mother" hypothesis, which blamed autism on "cold" mothering.
Now, those same tired vaccine lies will likely be used to blame moms who choose to vaccinate their kids.
