PET's Summer Appeal: Hope, drive and recovery - Prisoners' Education Trust Donate to PET's Summer Appeal : Hope, drive and recovery. All donations will be doubled while matched funding lasts.

For many learners, studying with PET goes much beyond a qualification to add to their CV: it represents hope, determination and self-worth.

So far, I have learnt there is a link between interoception (ability to identify internal body functions like how fast your heart beats) & mood but it is more complex than better interoception means better mood. And that both probiotics & prebiotic can affect mood - and maybe even sociability!

If you haven't read the pre-print on which the Times article is based, I'll link to it below.

I have read it and have two questions for now: why did the authors pick May 2014 as the key date for the start of a 'cutback' of stop and search by the Met, and does it matter?

You know that test for whether you are human where you click the boxes that have traffic lights in them? Should be replaced by showing people that 20 minutes of Cory Booker's speech as he got to 24 hrs - if you aren't crying, you aren't human

On my way to London for an exciting day of external events talking about Fair Chance recruitment, over-policing of children and #FairChecks. Cancelled trains mean I get to enjoy the lovely sky while I wait. Very fitting that my first post here is moaning about trains! @transformjustice.bsky.social
