I was very prepared for George to be a candidate for early eviction from #Strictly. But he's actually quite good. My teenaged son is delighted and gutted in equal measure. 😂

On this article's topic of persuading more boys to pick up a book, I was really heartened to receive this message from the librarian at a school I visited last week telling me of the positive impact that ESCAPE ROOM: GAME ZERO has had. @nosycrow.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

“Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.” Dalai Lama
We won’t always know the difference we’ve made for someone.
It might have been a conversation, a message, a moment of real encouragement.
You bring more light than you realise.

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” Oscar Wilde
Often the best thing we can do is just be ourselves.
Not always polished. Not always serious. Just real.
It’s the daft, joyful things that keep us going – that matters.

Although not as many interactions here, I do not miss the vile bitterness on ‘the other one’. I just wish some of the lovely people I followed there, were also here. 🦋
Spread the Bluesky love 🦋
Lots of people saying that they get less interaction here than the ☠️ app.
If we want Bluesky to thrive and grow then we need to make it worth people’s while.

It’s social media so we need to be more sociable 😊

Can anyone in NW England help with work experience?
This a last-ditch cry for help. My lovely son is struggling to secure work ex for June, as are many of his friends. He's 17, confident, motivated, outgoing. His A levels are maths, physics, chem. I'm ready to stick him in a Travelodge to save him staying at school tidying displays. Can you help?
