Ask me about Hotel Del Luna, I want everyone to watch it. :)
I like cats, art, info about early years education and neurodivergence.
And Hotel Del Luna.
If I follow you I don't expect you do it back, don't feel like you have to. :)

the common belief that so-called "back office" roles in the public sector are unnecessary is predicated on an understanding of the world of work that's no deeper than "when mummy hides her face she isn't actually there anymore"

Want To Make Money? Build A Business On A Bike Lane
Research from New York City notes that newly installed protected bike lanes do more than keep bikers safe--they raise the income of the stores they are in front of.

Basically AI allows software engineers to produce shitty code *faster* and in higher volumes which increases the amount time spent on code reviews and revisions nullifying the productivity gained from producing the code in the first place.

The kids aren’t alright: is resilience to blame?
Schools are facing significant problems around pupils’ mental health and attendance, and political voices have pointed to a lack of resilience as the cause. But can interventions designed to boost this quality really help?

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power.
We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.
Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

For years, we’ve been told that young adults are losing interest in romance. They’re dating less, drinking less, and supposedly abandoning sex altogether.
It's not that simple. Our survey finds Gen Z DOES want sex, it's just that it's gotten too complicated.

A lovely article on a phenomenal film that's been a constant source of inspiration throughout my entire life! ❤️ There's a loneliness that comes with working on an original project that's conveyed incredibly well here, as well as the importance of inspiration & education alongside the production.
Nick Park spent the '80s making A Grand Day Out mostly alone. It was a school project that got out of hand -- he wanted to quit many times.
But Park stuck with it and fulfilled his dream of bringing a cinematic feel to stop motion. We explore:
