Proud to be a supporter of Shelterbox that is now 25 years old and started here in Helston. Many Helstonians volunteered their support in those early days and I took hundreds of young people from Helston School for site visits. Thank you for your continued work.

While we’re banning books…

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.

It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.

There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

Word of this morning is ‘procaffeinate’: to put everything on hold until you’ve had sufficient amounts of coffee.

My dad, 94, has had a major stroke tonight. So I'm sitting here, scrolling, and thinking what a collection of lovely distractions and lovely people there are on this app. Thank you Bluesky people.
