Been a bit quiet I have, mainly because a) start of term has been 🍌🍌😅 & b) epic # of opera, orch & quartet gigs this month! #musoEP

Pictures say more than words. I can't convey the depth of my gratitude for the musical & EP family that surrounds me 🥰 so in lieu of a bid to find words, this will do.

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

1) Teacher–student relationships aren’t “soft extras.”

This analysis (2.6m pupils) shows they drive achievement, motivation, executive function, belonging + wellbeing.

Predictable structures + relational warmth = accelerators of learning, not distractions.
New review of meta-analyses on the effect of S-T relationships shows large sig relations with 8 clusters of S outcomes: acad ach, acad emotions, student behavior, beh problems, exec funct, motiv, school belonging and engagement, & well-being. psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-...

Join us for an unforgettable evening of music & meaning on Saturday 4th October as @jarualdaquartet.bsky.social presents a world premiere of Paul Henley's Lyric Movement alongside Shostakovich’s haunting Eighth String Quartet—written in 1960 and dedicated “to the victims of fascism and war.”

Union Jacks and St George’s crosses are going up on lampposts across the UK. The Daily Mail called those behind it an “army of patriots.”

To anyone considering family train holiday in Europe, it works. Back from two weeks; LDN>Brussels>Munich >Verona>Turin->London.
6yo fave train, the Nightjet sleeper to Munich. Rest of us, the train over the Alps into Italy.

Hat tip to @seatsixtyone.bsky.social for opening eyes to what is doable.1/

I’m sorry but no. Protests and demos with dozens or low hundreds of attendees are not especially newsworthy. I’ve seen larger turnouts at a Warhammer event.

Politicians creating social conditions that push people into such poverty they are forced to steal powdered baby milk which now has security tags on it to help protect the spiraling profits of supermarket chains is, in fact, part of the problem here
Hugely irresponsible

1) For your own safety, as someone who's worked in retail, do not confront shoplifters. Ever.

2) Perhaps instead of an alleged "shoplifting epidemic", maybe address the fact that 1/4 of the UK population are living in poverty? Seems related!
