My neighbour mentioned that they needed a new front for one of the cabinets in their kitchen but was not sure how to pick it up as it would not fit in their (small) car.

So I offered to pick it up for him. He then said, "How? You don't even have a car?" […]

'France’s republic was born of insurrection and has never forgotten it. French pupils learn that protest, uprising and rioting are the origin story of their freedoms, so these methods are championed in promoting change. We grew up in school with the idea that if you don’t like something, you […]

The language of rights, citizenship and collective power is woven into French education. The French Revolution appears in the curriculum twice, for pupils aged 12 and then again at 16; the student protests of 1968 are taught at age 14 and again at 17.' […]

@cpy I guess many languages find ways to making traffic violence sound like a thing that just somehow happens without anyone in particular being responsible.

A young woman 'ended up under his car'. And look at the impact it had on important software!

People talk about social media being an echo chamber but my Facebook account keeps pushing One Nation and 'people hate bike lanes' posts on me. (Yes Facebook sucks, but sadly it's where our local community talks so I need to be there as well as here.)

It's deeply weird and unsettling reading this and realising how many of the people discussed here I'm two hops from: https://www.iankduncan.com/personal/2026-09-16-sex-ai-and-the-apocalypse

I'm glad we don't have the same links to San Francisco that we used to.

@mrundkvist Maybe today I will manage to catch up on some of my huge pile of overdue marking! Maybe tonight I will go to a group rollerskating meetup to support my kid's new rollerblading obsession.

My 9yo is currently obsessed with rollerblading and throwing her whole self into it with her increasingly-bruised body. I've bought secondhand rollerskates and am having a much slower and more cautious go. Last night we went to the skate park when I finished work. I was a bit anxious about […]

I'm still thinking about a conversation I had with another mum at daycare. We dropped the kids off and stood for a few minutes at our bicycles, talking about teaching in the age of AI-generated content, and about parenting in a world that feels about to come apart at the seams. I'm so grateful […]
