Phones to be banned in schools by law in England under government plans Education minister Jacqui Smith said the move would create

I suspect the government is going to get another crash course in the law of unintended consequences when pushing through overly restrictive knee-jerk policies without properly considering implications, especially, but not limited to, students with higher support needs.

Ironically the BBC stumbled on a really important story: Desperate asylum seekers being forced to turn to fraudulent fee-charging “advisors” to navigate a system that is intentionally impossibly baroque and from which all sources of free advice have been removed.

But no: they chose Fake Gay Panic.

Cis people: just nip over to your GP to feel a little perkier by taking some T.
Trans people: just spend 5 years on a waiting list, go through a few psychiatric assessments, and if you survive that then you might get a prescription for exactly the same HRT.

This kind of thing at Substack (including their Nazi problem and trans hate problem) are why my newsletter is at Ghost.org and always has been. Andrew Tate is a spectacularly vile human being accused of numerous violent crimes against women and hugely corrosive for young male minds.

A very astute (and upsetting!) piece that touches on four scary cultural trends: 1) The demand for spelled-out moral clarity in stories 2) A growing inability to understand different types of narratives 3) The "customer's always right" version of fandom 4) The growth of fandom as a social identity.

The platform indicator at the freshly reopened Kings Heath train station showing 4 carriages and arrival times at Moseley Village and Birmingham New Street stations. Every sign tells you how many steps to the platform and the hearing system is very clearly marked.

A poster by Bird and Moon for Flap dot org.  In a comic-style format, a bird explains for humans that window collisions kill billions of birds worldwide each year. Birds don't really get windows, and instead see a safe space past the glass, reflected outdoor plants, a reflected rival bird (themselves), or outdoor plants viewed through transparent corner windows. What can you do? There are cheap, easy, attractive fixes. Create a visual barrier for birds to see using window tape for vertical lines, string or ribbon hanging down, decals, or window film. Put these on the outside of the window, spaced 2 inches or 5 centimeters apart or less. You can also make window strikes less deadly. Keep bird feeders and baths close to windows. One point five feet or a half-metre away or closer. You can also u screens on the outside of windows. To learn more visit FLAP dot org. Thank you, bird hero.

It's the start of National Wildlife Week in Canada and the start of spring migration, so it's the perfect time to make sure your windows are as bird-friendly as they can be.

This great poster by @rosemarymosco.com summarizes the problem of window collisions; learn what you can do at birdsafe.ca

Title: Hunting for Easter eggs with Werner Herzog

Panel one: Werner goes out looking for eggs saying “I despise this idiotic sanitized ritual, and yet I am unwilling to return home eggless”

Panel two: Werner stands before an egg on the ground “The joy of discovery rings hollow against the monumental indifference of the universe”

Panel three: Werner carries an egg “what, other than regret, can hatch from this empty chocolate vessel”

A digital illustration of David Lynch (we miss you) from the little concrete walled, cluttered office space he used to do his odd little weather reports from. Everything is rendered in a strange combination of textures and line halftones and muted cool colors. Cruddy lettering at the bottom of the frame reads 'Maybe it will happen today'.
