Today, we remember Aberfan. On October 21, 1966, at 9.13am, a colliery spoil tip collapsed and slid down a mountainside engulfing Pantglas Junior School and around 20 houses. 144 people were killed, 116 of them children. They should never be forgotten. RIP

Long live this type of thing on Twitter! #5albums90sfinal

As we mark almost 80 years since the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and as we come upon a crucial election, I share this paper crane as a symbol of hope that we elect leaders who support humanity’s creative, not destructive, potential. This beautiful artwork was created by Ukrainian artist Mariia Lapitan-Yashchenko, who like myself, has found purpose through art. Art, symbols, and the stories they evoke matter. Nuclear weapons are not toys, nor are they chips to be wagered in some high-stakes poker game. Never again. #CranesForOurFuture https://t.co/86ZHfIKmhP
It is with great sadness that we share the news that Graham Thorpe, MBE, has passed away.
There seem to be no appropriate words to describe the deep shock we feel at Graham's death.
I keep thinking how 3 little girls were killed & more were hurt & traumatised, & instead of talking about their precious lives, we are being forced to focus on violent entitled white men burning cars & towns, who don’t give a shit about women’s & girls’ safety.

Gareth turned “once-in-a-lifetime”, into “see-you-next-time”. He changed the culture, prioritised decency, togetherness
He deserved to win. I wish he had 😔. But the men’s team will now, soon, & it’ll be on top of what he built #garethsouthgate
