Je trouve les gens curieux incroyablement intéressants. Ceux qui peuvent se passionner pour l’Égypte antique le lundi, l’astrophysique le mardi, les profondeurs océaniques le mercredi et l’histoire du Japon le jeudi. Qui ne cessent jamais d’apprendre. Qui préfèrent découvrir dix nouvelles choses plutôt que de passer leur temps à juger la vie des autres. La curiosité est une qualité magnifique.

Rowling called them ghost plots: storylines, characters, and ideas she developed for Harry Potter but ultimately left out of the published novels. This book explores twenty of these lost stories, reconstructing each one through Rowling’s interviews and examining how it would have fitted into the series.

This is disgraceful. It’s also completely wrong. But of course vulnerable girls are just pawns in culture war arguments between men, aren’t they?

'Is Elon Musk clear that a lot of grooming cases he talks about happened ten years ago?' Rory Stewart explains why he believes there are more important issues facing Britain than gangs of 'predominantly Pakistani Muslim men' grooming women and girls.

The rape gang phenomenon is an ongoing issue, with prosecutions for crimes as recent as 2025. The Casey review cites ongoing prevalence in new investigations, occurrence nationwide rather than a single small group, and the cover up by various police forces. news.sky.com/story/first-ba… gov.uk/government/pub… bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

What is the NSPCC for if it can't say "male teachers should not be supervising girls changing" ? Trying to pass the buck to the EHRC and DFE is despicable. The Equality Act must never displace safeguarding. There is no reason to remove this guidance.

Fury as NSPCC say male teachers can supervise girls in changing rooms

The child protection charity has removed a policy that adults supervising pupils while they change should be the same sex as the children from its latest safeguarding briefing.

The artist James Smetham was #BornOnThisDay 1821 in Yorkshire. A devout Methodist, he was admired by both Ruskin and Rossetti, and the latter might have helped with this painting of a gorgeously costumed, wistful-looking mandolin player victorianweb.org/painting/sm…

I am 98% sure this woman did not have a baby. It is SO dangerous to give nasty porn sick men the impression that women who had a C-section don’t have to wait for six weeks before sex. They DO.

Les enfants ne sont pas un substitut à l’amour ; ils ne viennent pas réparer une vie brisée, ni combler le vide d’une existence inachevée. Ils ne sont pas une matière façonnée pour panser nos manques, mais une responsabilité sacrée, un devoir profond. Ils sont les plus purs joyaux de l’amour libre, offerts avec une générosité infinie. Ils ne sont ni les jouets des parents, ni le prolongement de leur soif d’exister, ni l’écho de leurs ambitions inassouvies. Ils sont une promesse, une mission : celle d’élever des êtres heureux et conscients de leur propre destin. Simone de Beauvoir
