Literacy is becoming the new class divide. Not formal education, literacy. More and more people struggle to recognize nuance, satire, or irony. When your reading comprehension is limited, so is your ability to interpret the world around you. The gap between people who engage with complex ideas and those who rely on headlines and clickbait feels wider than ever.

[Constance bookish @ThebookishC]

Normalize schools celebrating students who love reading just as much as students who love sports.
Both deserve to be seen.

💔💔💔ANOTHER MUM & HER BSBIES NEEDING HELP 💔💔💔💔💔

Another mum. Another litter. Another heartbreaking reminder of how badly animals are being failed in Ireland. 💔
This beautiful girl gave birth to her babies under a bush.💔😡
Thankfully, she was found by a kind person who got them to safety. Now they need us.

We are ready to take Mum into our MLHR, but we desperately need a foster home first. We will provide everything mum and babies need, all we need is someone willing to open their heart and home.
We are overwhelmed. We are exhausted. But we won't stop fighting for them.💔😡
Please, if you can foster, get in touch. If you can't, please consider donating. Every act of kindness gives animals like this brave mum and her babies a chance at the life they deserve. ❤️💔❤️💔

💔

Three hundred and sixty five.
The number of days since you last were alive,
The number of days that have slowly passed by, 
Since the last time that I looked in your eyes.

Fifty two weeks without you,
Without hearing you speak,
Without night night kisses,
You’ve been missed every week.

Twelve months you’ve been gone,
I still sometimes forget, 
Then I walk in your room,
Think of when we last met.

One whole year it has been now,
But many still to come,
I am so incredibly thankful,
I got to be your mum.

The night that you left us, 
We made you a vow,
To fight for you always,
We did it then, we’ll do it now.

He’s 25 years old and was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. That hasn’t stopped Scotland’s Archie Goodburn from chasing his dreams.

He’s competing at the Commonwealth Games. And I won’t forget our interview.

"Le renard est un nuisible. Le loup est dangereux. Le blaireau dérange. Le lynx fait peur. Le chevreuil détruit les cultures. Le sanglier envahit. Les animaux sont toujours les coupables...
Pourtant, aucun d'eux n'a allumé un incendie.
Aucun n'a rasé une forêt. Aucun n'a bétonné une montagne. Aucun n'a détruit la planète par avidité.
Ils ne demandent qu'une seule chose : vivre sur la terre qui les a vus naître.
Les véritables victimes ne sont pas les humains qui se plaignent... Ce sont ces milliers d'êtres vivants qui périssent dans les flammes, perdant leurs petits, leur refuge, leur nourriture et leur avenir.
Le plus grand prédateur de cette planète n'a ni crocs, ni griffes... Il marche sur deux jambes.
Avant de juger les animaux, regardons ce que l'humanité est en train de faire à leur monde... et au nôtre." 🦌🐺🦊💔🌲

🚨WITNESS APPEAL – TEIGNMOUTH / SHALDON BEACH 🚨

This took place earlier today (27th July) at Shaldon Beach, Teignmouth, Devon.

A member of the public reports seeing the man in the photo below pick up his dog and throw him against a stone wall multiple times. The witness states he then pinned the dog to the ground and punched him repeatedly, while the woman with him stood by and watched.

According to the witness, this happened because the dog didn’t recall immediately and the man got his jeans wet retrieving him.

If you recognise this man or the woman with him, please get in touch with the OP via the link below. .

😡 Please share — this dog needs to be protected.

GOOD POINT👇👇👇
To all the Supermarkets and big commercial stores that operate 'Self Check-outs'....... You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now. Yesterday I went shopping at one such store and the lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping everyone.
I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already filled my trolly, emptied my trolly and scanned the items, refilled my trolly and so I just skipped the exit line and left.
I heard her saying "Umm - Excuse me “ as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store.
You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be.
• I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you.
• If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's your problem not mine.
• Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities.
YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING.
YOU DON’T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU.
Signed ......All of us
People we need to share this statement its basically about PROFIT to the stores AND putting People out of a JOB....!!!

[Thicky Ricky What They Called em @ThickyFontaine]

It’s been a wild fucking day man…Found out a buddy of mine is homeless and he’s been hiding it from all of us. He’s been pretending shits been cool and he finally dropped the mask today. We all immediately jumped in to help. Fellas, don’t ever let your pride get in the way!

My frontal lobe fully developed, and I realized that spending five days a week working a 9 to 5 until I’m 60 just so I can finally “enjoy life” for a few years at the end is one of the worst deals we’ve ever been told to accept.

It's amazing how much you can accomplish around the house under the threat of someone coming over.

Please keep warming your kids of the danger of open water … cold water shock, hidden currents, hidden obstacles under the surface… especially those fearless lads, who jump first.

They don't make songs like that anymore. All natural, no computers. One of the best voices ever. Goosebumps.

On est passé d’une Coupe du monde de football où des joueurs gagnent des millions en courant après un ballon, à des incendies gigantesques où des pompiers volontaires risquent leur vie pour moins de 10 €/h.

Il est peut-être temps que nos sociétés revoient leurs priorités.

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

A man who spent thirty years reviewing sports cars has taught this country more about its own food than every minister, union and campaign of the last fifty years combined.

Here is what five series of Clarkson's Farm put in front of the public, and not one line of it is opinion.

- A thousand acres, worked flat out for a year, made a profit of £144. Under forty pence a day.
- By year six the same farm was losing money, weather and prices turning a projected £37,000 into a five grand loss.
- A crop can drown in the field after months of work and take everything with it, and nobody is coming to help.
- The farmer is the only man in the food chain who sells at a price he does not set. The supermarket sets it. He takes it or he takes nothing.
- The council can shut his restaurant, refuse his car park and stop him selling his own food off his own land.
- The subsidy he was told to lean on can be closed overnight, the big estates first through the door, the small farms locked out.
- One outbreak of bovine TB can lock a farm down for months, banned from buying or selling a single cow, through no fault of its own.
- Rear pigs with real care and the butcher's maths can still make them a loss, so the animals go and the loss stays.
- The margins are so thin that a rich man buys farmland not to earn from it but to shelter money that earns elsewhere. The shelter exists precisely because the farming does not.

Now hold that against the story you were sold. Greedy farmers. Subsidised for doing nothing. Wrecking a countryside they are somehow also the custodians of.

There is no profit. That was the reveal. A show that set out to be funny accidentally filmed the slow strangling of the people who feed us, and the country watched it happen and finally understood what its cheap food actually costs.

Clarkson has now admitted the plainest part out loud: it is the television money keeping Diddly Squat alive, and most farms do not have a television show. Britain grows about sixty per cent of its own food and the average farmer is past sixty. That is why both numbers are heading the wrong way.

It took a Lamborghini tractor and a man doing it for a laugh. Fifty years of earnest campaigning could not manage it.
