A Friday thought 😎

An online petition calling for an election four months after we had one (by people who spend too much time on their phones), is the most 2024 thing in a year of very 2024 things.

These are not serious people.

@DuncanCStone @BlackFerns I adore this team, fabulous women!

The government is reviewing this ahead of the October budget. It's a pivotal moment for the further education sector and it's time to show our solidarity.

👉 This petition is just a few signatures away from hitting 10,000. Will you help it get there? https://t.co/kptxD6nhuV

The guidelines cover step-by-step processes on training programmes, nutrition, breastfeeding and mental health support.

As the wondrous Bob Mortimer is trending, I thought I'd share this quote from his autobiography.

'I've always thought that the two most unselfish things you can do in life are to turn up on time and to be quiet around a house when someone else is sleeping.'

He's not wrong ❤️

If you have a few moments to listen to this interview as a parent with your child.
Possible one of the best post race interviews I have ever watched #PlayOn

[Women in Sport @Womeninsport_uk]

Here’s what we discovered:

🚺 Great Britain achieved the best medal parity among the top ten countries, with 28 women’s medals and 30 men’s medals. Team GB was also in joint first place for medals in mixed-sex sports like track, swim and triathlon relays

[Women in Sport @Womeninsport_uk]

When women thrive in sport, they thrive in society 🤩

During the Olympic Games, we tracked medals won by women and men for each country, and the results are eye-opening 🧵

I’m not usually one to attack the #BBC but if I wake up tomorrow and they haven’t laid on 15 hours of sports for me to watch there will be hell to pay.
