The Post Office's compensation scheme is designed to minimise payouts. One postmaster received £15.75. That isn't a typo. I count nine ways the Post Office's HSS compensation scheme is rigged:

Classes across the school took part in the 'KILTS St. Andrew’s Reading Record’, reading a Scottish text for up to half an hour. Even our headteacher, Mrs Foster, got involved, reading an extract to P5/6 📚😀@KidlitScotland #KidLitScot

Geologists of Twitter! Let us come together to acknowledge Kaolinite, one of the best minerals. It can do so much and it affects our daily lives in so many ways. Zircon might be flashy but support the mineral that is always supporting you. Vote Kaolinite! #MinCup23 #TeamClay

An argument for clay mineral #kaolinite: one of mindat’s very best Easter eggs. When Jolyon added the pronunciation feature, he also added a ton of the pronunciations himself. He got bored somewhere in that process. “Clay” is one of the best - go listen: mindat.org/min-49430.html

75 years of the NHS! I feel so grateful not just for my life and the lives of loved ones saved, but also for the astounding gentle grace, care and consideration shown. All medical workers have my deepest respect and deserve safe and stable working conditions and fair pay.

I've voted! And I want to make it clear that my ability to do this was a privilege this time. It should be a right. Requiring ID is voter suppression which will impact the most vulnerable in society and take away their voice.

Libraries might not teach you how to read but they certainly teach you to love reading. @silvercitylibs opened my eyes to the breadth of books out there and encouraged me to read through the Summer Reading Programs. My old local library is one of those closed and I'll miss it.

Last night I checked into the emergency department at my local hospital*. I saw firsthand what has happened to the NHS. However much you read, it doesn't prepare you for the terrible reality. This thread tells a now-ordinary but - in this rich nation - almost unbelievable story.
