Safeguarding is about foreseeable harm. Climate change meets every test—yet it’s absent from proposed KCSIE updates. Educators in England: respond to the consultation.

Meme: An older adult wearing a red backwards baseball cap and red hoddie with a grey shirt that says “Music Band” in the style of AC/DC, holding a skateboard over his shoulder saying “How do you do, fellow terrorists”

Garak sits at the bar in Quark's, smiling and holding up a glass of kanar. We also see the bottle in front of him. The caption reads, "I endeavor to keep living my life, if only to spite my enemies."

Times are tough, yet we persevere.

Artemis II: Stunning ‘Hello, World’ Image of Earth Explained NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman captured the "Hello, World" image of Earth from Orion on April 2, 2026. The image's unique perspective prompts critical thinking about geography, highlighting Earth's scale and human impact. Educators are encouraged to use the photo as a teaching tool, fostering discussions on Earth's condition and visual interpretation.

Some timely thoughts about #ArtemisII stunning "Hello, World" image before #teachers go back to school after the Spring break and enthusiastically use it with their students. Using this image can be a fantastic stimulus for #geographical and #criticalthinking.

Men… just don’t. You need to be calling all your ‘bros’ on this crap online and offline. #NotOk

If the world had followed ambitious climate scenarios, global oil demand would be at least 20% lower than it is today - about the same volume of oil that flows through the Strait of Hormuz.

Thank you to my beloved friend @ahamill.bsky.social for taking this amazing photos during my poetry performance at the #GAConf26 #Teachmeet.

If you work in education and care about child safeguarding, make sure you check out the message of my poem via the link in the repost.

Finally got to meet the wonderful @ilankelman.bsky.social in person at the #GAConf26 #TeachMeet! I have taken a lot of inspiration from his work. Fortunate to have him as a guest on #CoffeeGeogPod too! youtu.be/aSdMZYVW1IE?...

What Casey (KCSIE) Cannot See: Climate Change, Foreseeable Harm, and Safeguarding Responsibility Evidence, professional reasoning, and how educators can respond to the consultation. A poetry piece with imagery to raise awareness of the absence of climate change in the government's proposed updates to Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE). Playing on how the acroymn sounds like the name 'Casey'. Performed at the Geographical Association 2026 Conference Teachmeet in Sheffield. Watch the performance, absorb the words, read the rationale, and respond to the govenment consultation before 22nd April 2026. And if that deadline has passed, whatever comes of the consultation, we must all pledge to ensure our safeguarding policies are 'climate literate'. This blog article is a narrative version containing recommended consultation responses.

New poem & blog: Casey Cannot See.

Why KCSIE 2026 talks foreseeability but omits the climate crisis as safeguarding risk—and how educators can respond to the consultation.

Thought-provoking video by my friend @climateadam.bsky.social. A counterpoint though: I think more talk about space missions can be a nice wedge to talking about other science & why it needs funding. Just yesterday I was interviewed about US science funding BECAUSE of dissonance w/ Artemis coverage!

#AskTrekCuture The #Artemis2 crew named two craters on the moon. What would each of you name a crater based on the Trek uninverse, and why? The other two play the (real life) International Astronomical Union (IAU) and decide whether the name is valid and adoptable @tomcfinn.bsky.social

This is hilarious because it implies that her husband DID call her while she was in space on the ISS to ask her help in looking for something. 💀🌌

A view of the interior of the Orion capsule. A window takes up most of the frame, through which Earth is visible. About 1/3 of the planet is shown, with cloud patterns over the ocean

A view out a window of the Orion spacecraft. Earth is visible as a slim crescent in the distance, with most of the field of view being black space

Can you image what it would be like to go from the first image to the second? To literally watch your home planet shrinking behind you until most of what you see is the emptiness of space? For every minute to further hammer in our insignificance against the vastness of the cosmos? (1/2)🧪🔭

Don't read too much into the differences. Today's picture was taken of the night side of Earth, and with a digital camera, rather than film. The first image has undergone a lot more postprocessing.

Here's a quick timelapse video, from the good folks at the @setiinstitute.bsky.social / @unistellar.bsky.social who processed my observations of Artemis II yesterday morning. 🔭

I’m sure I’ve seen that picture before…. 🤔

An image of Earth backlit by a mostly hidden sun, with a bright pinpoint of light to the bottom right of the disk.

The upper right corner of the image shows the blackness of space. Below and to the left lies a slice of Earth's atmosphere, decorated by a squiggle of exhaust plume.

A photograph taken inside a space vehicle, centered on a half-disk view of Earth seen out the capsule's window.

At the top of the image is a portion of the International Space Station. In the center of the image is a mostly lit moon. At the bottom of the image is a fuzzy view of Earth's atmosphere.
