A pile of seven non fiction books about compassion and related subjects
I think I might have been in a particular mood when I ordered these from Waterstones… #Compassion #Impact #Happiness #PositivePsychology #PhD
This is excellent news. I used to work with cared for young people and know the complexities of their lives - this looks like a really impactful and much needed piece of research, congratulations!
UK regulator asks X about reports its Grok AI makes "sexualised images of children" and undresses women.
Sickening.
X profits but not good at monitoring.
Give everyone an enforceable copyright of their face, voice, body parts. Enable people to sue social platforms for violation of that right.

That’s great news! 🌿🕊️✨
Having lived there, I laughed at 'temporary australians'. But tbf they are the ones that made it the law for cyclists to wear bike helmets... it's honestly horrifying seeing the things some cyclists do here.
Centring lived experience voices like this can reshape our knowledge and transform how we understand recovery. Well done David! ✨
Fantastic to see some of our CASSPPR team - @nisanalici.bsky.social and @evepea.bsky.social - presenting their research at the BSC Symposium at @uniofnottingham.bsky.social this week!
Also a brilliant presentation from @nisanalici.bsky.social with her important research into the Truth and Justice Commission into Diyarbakir Prison
Great day at @uniofnottingham.bsky.social BSC Symposium yesterday, some brilliant and thought-provoking work presented. And - slight flex - also presented my own poster of research into prevalence of reported sexual crime against minors.
Extremist groups in Europe and North America that have specifically targeted gaming communities and infiltrated them by using memes, humour, and gameplay experiences as a way to groom younger players before being introduced to radical content.

This is an ongoing issue with my research area (people who offend against children). The rhetoric around who poses a risk is inflated and largely inaccurate - this cultivated misunderstanding vilifies one group while deflecting scrutiny of others, and doesn’t actually serve to prevent victimisation.

If anyone is annoyed that it’s raining this evening… sorry, it’s my fault. I installed an irrigation system in the garden today. #TemptingFate
Brilliant news, David, and well deserved! Great to see #LivedExperience and #RecoveryInformedResearch recognised at this level. Congrats! 🎉
Perfect 🙌🏻
Congratulations Dr @robyn92.bsky.social! 🎉🍾🥂💐
It’s amazing what a letter from reformuk will motivate you to do (other than rush straight to the bin). I just signed @reformpoliticalads.bsky.social’s petition calling for laws to introduce factual accuracy in political advertising. And then I rushed straight to the bin.
I slipped up in a second garden centre! But it all starting to look very pleasant so my care factor is low. 🤷🏼♀️🪴🪻🌻

Thanks Robyn! ❤️
I can regale you with it later… should only take an hour or two 😂
Thank you! It’s been an interesting (and sometimes infuriating) side quest through the maze of police FOI requests. Still lots of work ahead, but early findings highlight just how many cases remain hidden or inconsistently recorded. Really grateful for the chance to share this at #CASSPPR #DerbyUni
Excited to finally be presenting some of my research to @cassppr.bsky.social colleagues this afternoon - looking at the prevalence of reported sexual crimes against children (what’s reported, how old they are, and what happens after reporting) tough subject but very necessary. #DerbyUni #Criminology
