The UK is generating more and more of its energy from renewables. These are our numbers right now from the excellent grid.iamkate.com

Over the past year, fossile fuels generated under 30% of our energy.

First they came for the groceries and I didn't speak.
Then they came for an island full of penguins and I couldn't shut up.

My condolences to the community!
It's terrible, yesterday's news was truly awful. My son's been teaching at that school & knew the lad who's died, it's hit him pretty hard.

I know things like this have happened in schools for years, it's now our access to the reporting of it that is more instant. But even so, as I say, I norm for the family that lost a child and feel for the kids that feel murder is the only answer to their problems. Growing up is hard enough!
I'd like to think the north/south divide is now a bit more banter, but maybe I'm naive. I have friends all over the country, of different creed and colour and it saddened me to read of the 15 year old boy, dead at school. My daughter is soon to be 12, and it's such a shame children are facing this!

@englishgrammer.bsky.social So, I am writing an email with "ProWritingAid" (Think Grammarly) and it is caught in a loop!

Just like many people, I finally deactivated (in 30 days deleted) FKA Twitter, for all my accounts (work and personal). It feels like such a shame, as at the moment BlueSky is not quite as "busy" but maybe that is a good thing. It's not like I was ever particularly active, but it's the end of an era

So does @bsky.app have an #academictwitter equivalent yet, are there places to discuss teaching and learning (I've not found them yet, but that might just be me!)
