New laws in Afghanistan, introduced by the Taliban, mean that men can now marry girls at any age – there is no limit. Male relatives can arrange this with other men, and it’s only once the girls reach puberty that, in extremely limited circumstances, they can ask a court to dissolve the marriage. What’s happening in that country is horrific, and it begs the question why Amnesty are not putting all of their resources into tackling this latest child abuse atrocity.

Just finished reading The Running Grave #Strike series 🔥 A great bit of ☀️ reading done this week. Can't wait to get started on the next!

[Ms. Ed. @Ms__Ed__]

@MrMetacognition It's awful having a shorter summer. 5 weeks = First week to rest / recover, final week and you're already going in to prep rooms or plan. 3 weeks to do stuff.
October is colder and darker. Why wouldn't you prefer a longer summer break?! ☀️ Cheaper October holidays will end.

So ICE pepper spray, disarm & then execute a male nurse trying to protect a woman in #Minnesota & will investigate themselves
Days after killing a woman, blaming her for it & closing investigation
Both in full view of cameras
Does make you wonder what they do when cameras off?

How difficult can it be to find a 60 cm X 60 X 60 planter pot for a climbing rose! ☹️ #roses #climbers #DavidAusten #GertrudeJekyll

Fight Club Author Chuck Palahniuk first came up with the idea for the novel after being beaten up on a camping trip when he complained to some nearby campers about the noise of their radio. When he returned to work, he was fascinated to find that nobody would mention or acknowledge his injuries, instead saying such commonplace things as "How was your weekend?" Palahniuk concluded that the reason people reacted this way was because if they asked him what had happened, a degree of personal interaction would be necessary, and his workmates simply didn't care enough to connect with him on a personal level. It was his fascination with this societal 'blocking' which became the foundation for the novel.

The Welsh name for Greenland is Yr Ynys Las. There’s also a village in Wales called Ynyslas near Aberystwyth.

The people of Ceredigion clearly have a very good sense of humour!

Trump is one of the worst humans ever.

Solidarity with the people of Greenland from Wales ✊

I feel like there's a load of things I haven't done over the Christmas holidays that I aspired to do. Or "get done". Decluttering. Days out here and there. Exercise. Am I alone on this? #teacherlife

[Ms. Ed. @Ms__Ed__]

@RogersHistory Looks lovely. I guess this is not in the UK?

[Ms. Ed. @Ms__Ed__]

Not that arsed about the #Strictly final anymore. (Prob since Katya's elimination) Plus it's all quite toxic online. Chill. Hoping I'll warm to it after a few dances. .... although I often find the final a bit flat after the fight of the quarter and semi finals.

[Ms. Ed. @Ms__Ed__]

Gutted Lewis and @Mrs_katjones are out. We have missed out on their 2 dances next week + their final show dance. We've been robbed of Katya's choreography. She truly deserved the glitterball winner's trophy! Next 2 weeks will be a drop in quality #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing

[Ms. Ed. @Ms__Ed__]

@lifeatthenest Oh surely not! As if teachers don't have to provide half the books as well! Teachers spend far too much on classroom decor, then the expectation spreads. Bet some rock up with 7 footers not even small tabletop trees 😂

[Ms. Ed. @Ms__Ed__]

Hasn't Amy been through enough?!? ....also a shame she'll be gone early. #Strictly

[Ms. Ed. @Ms__Ed__]

Is Ellie ok? She looks tired and overwhelmed with all the studio standing around. Hope she's alright! #Strictly

[Ms. Ed. @Ms__Ed__]

YES!!!! (My fave) Katya's got a contender!!!! Love her choreography so this has got excitement all over it. #Strictly

[Ms. Ed. @Ms__Ed__]

So glad that Karen has a decent potential partner. FINALLY!!!! #Strictly. ....and my first "oh my god" moment 😁

[Ms. Ed. @Ms__Ed__]

Assemble #Strictly folk. ....wow, Alex Kingston was good. 💃💃💃

The Taliban refuse to rescue women from the earthquake because they wouldn’t let responders touch women. They would tell you themselves except the Taliban ban them from speaking in public.

Of course Nigel farage has no problem with that …

Which beaches do you recommend near Falmouth, Cornwall for a few days? Criteria: sandy, good swimming, not crowded (although not sure how feasible this is in August). 😀 #Falmouth #Cornwall #beach #swimming 🌞🏖️🌊🏖️🌞 Any tips or recommendations?
