And never forget the BBC edited the footage to make it look like the miners attacked the police when in fact it was the other way round. "Our BBC" have always been establishment shills.

That’s so bloody interesting!

Greater Manchester school library censorship: who is accountable? - Index on Censorship Now that Lowry Academy has been publicly named, Index has written a follow-up to last week's book banning story

The book banning school in Manchester has now been named, the Lowry Academy. Some of the books have been returned to the shelves but not all. Glad to hear CILIP are supporting the librarian ://www.indexoncensorship.org/2026/03/greater-manchester-school-library-censorship-who-is-accountable/

OK, We Need To Unpack This Dirty TikTok Term If you've been on TikTok lately, you've probably heard the term "cracking" used in an unexpected context. So, what does "cracking" mean? Spoiler: It's dirty.

A pal just passed on from their teenage kid that "cracking" means shagging now. Prompted by me doing a James Acaster impression and saying, "Let's CRACK on" and her finding that hilarious. Not the James Acaster impression. This is your PSA. www.hercampus.com/culture/what...

😂😂😂 I can’t keep up!

Thank youuu xx

#KidLitUK First of many, I hope!

Thank you so much for reading it 🧡

Trying to get back into reading. I managed to get Wild Journey from the library, a wonderful collection of short stories all connected by starlings. 🪶 @amdassu.bsky.social @joelillington.bsky.social

Thank you x

Off the top of my head, To The Other Side by Erika Meza is an absolute masterpiece, as is @amdassu.bsky.social's Boy, Everywhere. For information books, Elise Gravel's What Is A Refugee was incredibly popular with the library kids. And of course, Judith Kerr's When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit, classic

Thank you 🧡

Thanks so much Sally 🧡

This topic could not be more important at the moment

Highly recommend Boy Everywhere by @amdassu.bsky.social

It reply helps depict a refugee’s journey in a very human light
