I've just discovered a Christmas carol I didn't know, despite decades of carol-singing.

@porridgebrain This is fab!
Gone very small this year but the Christmas camel, Christmas cardinal and maple leaf, along with Santas from Burma, Armenia, Kenya, Rwanda and beyond take pride of place.

The #Census2021 results are in and it’s official: England and Wales are among the least religious countries in the world. People with ‘no religion’ jumped by over 8 million, from 25% in 2011 to 37% in 2022. https://t.co/CpUcqayzio

@kindredstudios_ Jon Rees, what great words on #BBCSaturdayLive about the importance of learning to meet our needs and the possibility of re-discovering our identities through art.

This has delighted me this morning. Thanks!

A reminder of one of the most beautiful etymologies out there: the 'pupil' of the eye is named after the Latin 'pupilla', little doll' - because when we look into the eyes of another, we see a tiny, doll-like reflection of ourselves.

£12million on a book of pictures of the Queen for every 5-11 year old?!

No.

Spend this money on classroom ventilation, on school trips out, on counsellors, on Free School Meals.

@BeckettUnite Surely, SURELY, there should be a decimal point in the middle there?

Friendly reminder that if you want to protest all this corruption, you can't without Priti Patel's permission, and if she finds your protest annoying, she can jail you for up to 10 years. That's how far we've let our "democracy" slip in 12 years of Tory rule x

BJ's judgments quoted here only demonstrate his misunderstanding of how structural poverty and disempowerment can affect people not born into privilege and luxury.
