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.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Today is National Biscuit Day, and it’s about time that I populated this account with biscuit (cookie) sets from the past few years. Here are some of my favourites. 🧵
First up, a set inspired by the delicious designs of William Morris and John Henry Dearle.

This is what happens when you only view things through the lens of "political benefit" rather than actually improving people's lives.
Scrapping the two child limit would lift hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty. That's the benefit!

Without being too po-faced about it on a day when it’s mainly all about the politics, councillors are corporate parents in control of billion pound budgets with statutory safeguarding responsibilities. This is serious stuff, much more so in terms of direct responsibility than being an MP.
Lot of people asking what impact Reform running councils will have on their popularity. There are reasons to think it won't be smooth sailing. A lot of political novices taking over in challenging circs, and in the past Farage party councillors have often split or left in large numbers

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

What you are seeing this morning over the refugee decision is Labour alienating and offending its remaining liberal supporters without bringing any new voters onside.

#Fridayreads Love this idea. Currently reading Bellman and Black by Diane Snetterfield. I love the way she makes the past seem universal. Once upon a River one of my favourite novels.
