My brilliant colleague Jodie put a lot of work into speaking to teen boys in Jersey about their online lives, and the result is fascinating and insightful. Worth a listen 📻

“The more chaotic our times, the deeper is our need to slow down and read fiction. In an age of anger and anxiety, clashing certainties, rising jingoism and populism, the division between “us” and “them” also deepens. The novel, however, dismantles dualities”

A Guernseywoman went viral on TikTok last year speaking about her experiences after reporting a rape to Guernsey Police.

Daisy Chapple hopes her story can help others, and effect change in how such situations are handled - saying she wants her ordeal to "mean something".
FOCUS: “Mistake after mistake after mistake”
What happens when someone calls the police with a rape allegation, but they are met with a series of mistakes from the moment officers arrive until the trial? A Guernseywoman went viral on TikTok last year speaking about her experiences. Daisy Chapple's story shows what can go wrong when someone makes a report of rape to the police. "I knew that I would be making a complaint when all of this was done, regardless of the verdict," she said.

Had the most fun on a very sunny Saturday! Loved taking the pics too @belays-and-boulder.bsky.social 🌞
First lead of the season! (Got my ass handed to me🧡)

After a winter on the Moonboard, I've lost all stamina for holding on while placing gear😅

Spent most of the route fighting off the pump, did the crux, and then fell off trying to place the next cam. Next time!

“Landmark” domestic abuse ruling is “key” for public confidence
The overturning of a domestic abuse sentencing yesterday has been welcomed as a "landmark" case by campaigners, who said they hoped it would restore confidence in the justice system again. Terence Michael Tremarco (62) had originally been handed 456 hours of community service for nine grave and criminal assaults and one common assault, committed between 1994 and 2000.
