Please don’t go down teh road of Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos.
Have some backbone and stand up for LGBTIQ+ folk and for truth and accuracy

I’m entering the final stages of data collection on research I’m doing into disability employment. If you have a physical disability and are UK based, I’d be especially grateful to hear from you. The survey is at:

A custodial sentence for disrupting Drag Queen Storytime in a library. This is how you do it right.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my original post. Delighted to say a haul of wonderful books based on your recommendations arrived this morning from @kennysbookshop.bsky.social ! ##BookElves2024

Skeet of the night!

At least I hope it is. I have a 4 year old high on sugar and Christmas that NEEDS it to end soon 😆

I actually just ordered this

Absolutely brilliant book suggestions here. Get on the #BookElves2024 hashtag for personalised recommendations!

Correct hashtag would be #BookElves2024!

Hey #BookElves! Any recommendations for an 11 year old girl with an amazing visual sense but low concentration? She has previously loved Dork Diaries and Komi Can't Communicate. Thanks! @sarahwebbwriter.bsky.social and elf colleagues!

You'll find the full report here: www.erc.ie/2024/11/05/t...

Pupils in Ireland among top maths performers in Europe, global study finds East Asian countries such as Singapore, Taiwan and South Korea continue to dominate

Really positive results from the #TIMSS study, conducted by my colleagues in the ERC. A picture of stability for the most part, but attention needed for gaps in performance according to gender and #DEIS status.

@irishrail.bsky.social Any idea when the next train will depart Sallins for Heuston?

This is absolutely dreadful.

I hope Marie Sherlock does it #GE24

#edchatie on Bluesky — Julian Girdham Irish teachers miss the #edchatie discussion days, and now that we’re moving to Bluesky, here’s a proposal.

First revived #edchatie discussion on Monday evening, 7.30-8.30pm, is on what we want in education from the next government.

Irish educators: pls repost this today.

Looking for future hosts: drop a PM if you're volunteering!

Meanwhile, this time:

The hopeful thing I’m taking away from this election is how few votes the far right guys are getting. There’s no silent majority of far right in Ireland. When they’re out doing their stupid protests, that’s literally all of them out there.

Ya love to see it.
