Given recent headlines about the Epstein files, teaching young children about body safety, consent, and boundaries is CRITICAL.

I discovered this Body Safety Book Set that explains these sensitive topics in a way children can understand them and feel empowered.

My opinion is every parent should have these in their toolbox: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT9doLLrmVUAu-L0Zcm/

(1/2) 37 years ago today I submitted my proposal for the World Wide Web 🎂. Today, Rosemary & I spoke with students in New Orleans at Walter Isaacson's Digital History Class at Tulane University. I was asked, as I often am, if I ever could have foreseen where we’d be today. I could not.

A vigil we held in my hometown because the gentleman on stage lost his wife and three stepsons when they were recently kidnapped by ICE. I will be attending a second community meeting tonight to further discuss what we can do to support this family and others who are now living in fear and will no longer leave home to shop, etc. we have built quite the network to offer support. The woman and her children were here legally after seeking asylum at the border in 2023. She was working two jobs and her kids were doing great in school. She sought asylum because of cartel violence in Jalisco, where she was deported to recently and violence has broken out amongst the cartels. #Insanity #StopIllegalDeportations

Wishing all the women out there well on International Women’s Day today. You are amazing and the world would do well to celebrate you *all year long* instead of a single day.

I myself am looking forward to the day where we finally elect a woman to lead our nation, I have no doubt whomever she is she’ll do an incredible job.

Nottinghams hotel Mercure is currently host to a building net full of dead pigeons & dying chicks who have no one to feed them.

Netting so horrendous multiple corpses hang decaying &broken inside it.

Email/call/shame them. Tell them you'll not be booking a room there until there is safety for wildlife to fly free. Imagjne holidaying alongside dead carcasses. Disgusting... cruel.

Remember the reason city pigeons exist and why they dont deserve to be maligned. Theyre not aggressive. They eat the shit we drop.. sadly even throw up which makes me want to vomit. They are used for homing hobbyists and get lost on their hundreds of miles journey enforced call to the place they were reared. How would we feel leaving our kids abroad and saying "find your way back so we can do it again!" Sigh.

I wish folk didnt hate pigeons. Stop calling them sky rats. They arent vermin. They deserve housing & safe spaces in cities and towns

Protect the Wild on Instagram: "Comment ‘bird’ and we will DM you the petition to @mercurenottingham asking that they permanently remove all bird netting. This type of netting is used to prevent birds from landing or nesting on buildings but the reality is it traps, starves and kills birds. It’s time to end bird netting."

Rian Hughes on Instagram: "Bought a job lot of type related stuff and these were in it. I think they’re guides for an engraving pantograph type machine. The classic “Leroy” type style, as used on EC Comics, though those were lettered with a stencil and rapidograph pen. There’s four trays - I’ve scanned them in case I find a use for them on a piece of design, but if anyone’s interested in them just let me know"
