This is such essential work and especially at a time when perspectives of minority ethnic communities are coming under attack.

Thanks to @crer-scotland.bsky.social for this. That's the weekend reading sorted!

It's the last prelim in the Uthmani household and I'm so proud of mini me 😊

Here's my final good luck message to her 😀

May your mind be sharper than a laser, your nerves calmer than absolute zero, and your answers more correct than a perfectly aligned vector. Go smash that National 5 Physics exam!
I've been sending my daughter quirky subject specific 🍀 msgs in the mornings of each prelim.Today's is my favourite 😆

May your calculator be fully charged, your brackets always close, and your 'x' finally find itself. Go smash that Nat 5 Maths! May the blessings of Al Khwarizmi show you the way! 😀

It's #BlackFriday 🎉🎉
But
Beware.... 'Which' the consumer experts found in a study that over 80% of black Friday deals were the same price or actually cheaper all year round. Mostly it is a scam. The best way to save money is to ignore it! 😀

Well done to #Angus Council for calling out the lies. Wish more councils would do this. Take note @renfrewshire.gov.uk Council who shamefully cancelled their #English langauge classes for #immigrants 😡

I had a very busy day yesterday, now catching up with the #budget info and from what I can gather, there is no good news at all. Is that an accurate summary?

Really nice analysis - going back to first principles to find points of agreement even with people with whom you profoundly disagree on policy aims
After all the hilarity of #Trump falling in love with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, I wrote a few serious reflections about what we can learn from Mamdani's ability to engage with those we don't agree with. 👇🏽

Another one. Can't believe the #fascists have turned so quickly from hotels to schools 😩
Moving from protecting our kids to terrorising them.
Police and politicians should be urgently stepping in now to say protesting outside schools, during the school day is simply not on.

There it is. Our national broadcaster living in fear of the most openly corrupt US president in American history. This is where the British patriots on the right have got us.
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

First the anti-foreigner crowd went after hotels, and now they're going after schools, and people with a platform who refuse to call it out are guilty of appalling cowardice.

We know the kinds of conversations that would have happened in the homes of these people over the weekend that their own children will be exposed to. Schools and the education system as a whole must confront #racism and be proudly #antiracist in everything they do. It's already gone too far.
Absolutely disgraceful and reminds me of the scenes in the US when Ruby Bridges had to be accompanied to school, as the first Black child to go to an all white school and was faced by protests from white mothers - disgusting.

There's no reason for the council to agree to sit down with a mob like this, and no amount of answers that will ever satisfy them anyway. Sometimes you just need to decide that you shouldn't set public policy on whims of idiots or bigots.
