Lovely to be here at #BrewEd in Wakefield with the rebel forces in education. @hywelroberts.bsky.social kicking us off with warmth.
Love what Mark is doing here.... It's like old edutwitter... Sharing learning, reflective questioning , and founded in real classrooms.
If you don't follow him yet, sort it out!
Just got caught out by 6Music news giving away the quali results for the first #F1 of the (very long) year!
Damn you, BBC!!!!!
Your job is to pick the worst possible actor to play James Bond. Go!
I had SO much fun talking to Samantha and Jordan, and am very excited to say that you'll be able to listen to our conversation on the podcast, in the next few months.
In the meantime, read more about it here!
Israel intentionally increases the refugee and migration crisis across the region and into Europe, while claiming to be protecting the world .... from ... (Irony eats itself)

Last few days to apply!
We've got very exciting projects on the go, which will transform and enhance our offer to schools. So this is a pivotal role in our small and impactful team!
"Doug writes more in a given week, with more fresh ideas, with far more productivity than you... So don't patronise him, don't mess with his ideas, and make sure you don't mess with his values... You wouldn't want to see him when he's pissed off. Oh, and he has beautiful eyes"
Thinking of cancelling my use of ChatGPT entirely - and don't want to swap it entirely to gemini - or another US based tool.
Ai is not something I use constantly - but it's an essential support to my thinking and time manangement
Mistral looks handy as a swap out. Any other thoughts?
Yes please
This might seem small in the context of the wider conflagration in the region - but this is disturbing - not surprising - as the Israeli government continues to lurch further away from progressive norms - breaking links to Jews elsewhere.

A Close Shave - wildlife hospitals do so much amazing work ... this #hedgehog lost the top of a patch of spines ...a VERY lucky hedgehog! Does Bluesky squelch substack links? Just in case putting the story in the comments ... actually - if anyone knows, please tell me!
Love @keithkahnharris.bsky.social 's book, Everyday Jews! If you can, go hear more about it and then buy it!

Piles of those books
Fantastic to talk to Jordan Salama and @samanthaellis.bsky.social at @jewishliteraryfoundation.co.uk.
Their books, 'Stranger in the Desert' and 'Chopping Onions on my Heart' are wonderful, so it was a pleasure to get to know them both better.

Anyone else wondering what was about to come out from the Epstein files? Why now?
The "pre-emptive" actions of Israel in Iran in the news, just ahead of Purim, has some disturbing parallels with the story at the heart of the festival.
Read this from @josephfinlay.bsky.social and wonder,... Is Trump our Ahasuerus?

Love this slice into #Purim, and the article from 2016, that precedes it.
"The Megillah ends as it began – a world in which God or ethics are not mentioned and raw power and patronage is all. It is a world that the authors want us to reject in toto."
Smart move for a plumber and plasterer to be sent into the Houses of Parliament. They're going to make a fortune renovating that place.

Seeing that UK leadership still hasn’t made it here, fyi Rayner’s post.
I found it interesting b/c it’s a clear indicator that Rayner is NOT following the party line we heard in the morning media round again and again saying “let’s not over-interpret last night’s election result!”
Rayner gets it!
I had an amazing time visiting schools across Northern Ireland, and met the most inspiring teachers.

it's cold. Spare a thought for those sleeping outside. They're not there because they choose to be, no matter what story you've sold yourself; they're there because of the cruelty of U.S. capitalist society.
If ending homelessness was monetizable, it would be over yesterday.
Brilliant advice!!! Thank you SO much
Fascinating. I struggled to read English after 1400.
