This is a very powerful speech. Well worth your time to watch

Well done 👏 12yo!

I live in hope! Sick to the back teeth of all the nonsense and downright corruption

I've signed, will you?

People need to be reminded of this! #Brexit was based on lies.

#Stagflation should send shivers down your spine. I remember 1970s Britain: food prices increased week after week. As a child in a single parent family, it meant #hu ger.

Please consider signing this petition. We're in enough trouble post-Brexit without further interference from Russia.

Done! Thanks for raising the profile of this petition. I've written to my MP, @dannychambers.bsky.social , as well.

Long thread, but well worth reading 👇

I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad. May his memory be a blessing and treasure for you. It's so hard going through the death of a parent. Sending hugs 🫂

Cool opportunity for a PhD student to work on avian influenza and avian viromes in Sweden. Should be a super fun project working on an amazing 20 year sample set from Mallards.

A little recreational math is good for the soul! Happy birthday!

A large blue graphic promoting "useR! 2025" is shown. The main section on the left details information about the conference: "8 - 10 August 2025," "Penn Pavilion, Duke University," "Durham, North Carolina," and "Hosted by Duke University and Duke Center for Computational Thinking." Below this, there's a notice about ticket sales: "Normal ticket sales will be ending July 15th. Get yours before the price increase!" A table compares "Regular" and "Late & Onsite" prices for "Student," "Academia," and "Industry" tickets. Prices are listed as $200, $450, and $650 for regular, and $250, $550, and $800 for late/onsite. The lower left corner features the "useR! 2025" logo with a bull illustration. The background appears to be a blurred image of a large conference hall with attendees.

Normal ticket sales end and Late/Onsite sales on July 15th so make sure to get yours by Tuesday!

Terrifying! Why bomb hospitals at all? Shocking! I still stand with #Ukraine

Are any of my Skybees attending this?

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.
