Stale bread and circuses...

I haven't read the article, but that Job Centre Plus in the photo looks like a prison.

Whatever a "referee report" is, they clearly need to go in the fucking Bin. (With a capital B, apparently, thanks auto correct for making the point.) I don't know Dave personally (yet) but his BSking tells me he's fucking ace-ing the Dad bit (and the cookbook thing, which is often the same thing

I think this is true of almost all humans and the people who make us work should actually be chasing gazelle all day to get rid of their energy...

As ever, as great read from Jim. But, who, no really who, would say "Some might say that’s inappropriately woke"??? (That's a rhetorical question...I think I know the answer. It's the guy who felt he was picked on for driving his car in the bus lane...)

"to read the same output three times and find a different meaning each time."

@shocktigan.bsky.social Hey Sean, if you were putting a consortium together for the DfE SEND CPD, and needed an EP org to write materials and deliver training, who would you talk to? You should be able to find my contact page easy enough if you prefer to email me 😍

I'm old, so I'd prefer a few more sentences starting with capital letters, but this, THIS is how to do alternative text... (Without it no one on mobile is going to get any of the jokes, let alone a person with vision impairment)

Now we know why cars are only available in monochrome monotony... Where are the women (of colour)???

If they make a biopic of Bono, any actor will do, they can just wear the big old papier mache head...

I mean, the UK is encouraging greater links between the armed forces and schools to help solve NEET, which is odd, given that we don't really need canon fodder any more. It's a shame we don't have a mining or construction industry* *this isn't entirely true, of course

I'm putting together a consortium to bid for the DfE SEND CPD for teachers and teaching assistants. I'm looking for partners who are already running successful online cpd in schools and colleges to provide a small amount of work on the Development Areas. Who should I talk to?

Check out the alt text on this baby...

In light of this I wrote about what it's like to be dehumanised in your own home lucywebster.substack.com/p/would-you-...

Always makes me go 'huh?' when I see a tortoiseshell with eyes... (Don't tell Babooshka that Pixel was on the kitchen table, again...)

When I moved from primary to secondary I was shocked by the attitude of some staff who treated kids, who last year had been running their school, as incompetent pond life...

What's the English equivalent of watering an oversized floppy green top hat, a bright orange beard, and getting hammered on Guinness?

Mat Marquis has waited 14 years to write this article. The sizes attribute has been a necessary evil but now, with an auto value capability, it’s completely transformed authoring responsive images on the web. piccalil.li/blog/the-end...

The article Adrian references here lost me at "greening the scanner", and I'd like to publicly thank Adrian for ploughing on regardless.

What would Henry Ford say about this electric horse (apart from the fact that it's not black) ???

How did Mistral come up with LeChat?

This is personal. Harmful social media has gone unchecked for too long. It’s time for big tech’s seatbelt moment— @libdems.org.uk and I will keep pushing this government to take action now, so our children get the childhood they deserve.

Release day! The ebook & hardback are live. The first book for teachers based on *enactive* cognitive science, please consider leaving a review when you're done (it really helps). (Paperback readers: Amazon is having a glitch, so it's slightly delayed.) mybook.to/teachingmean...

Happy Lesbian visibility week! If you can help this week and are running an event, or planning something for Pride in June, I'm wondering who’s out there that can help us amplify our petition for a public inquiry in Section 28, and join us to support tackling censorship of LGBTQ+ lives.

Great example of "disability tax" here...

Novels with disabled characters https://www.booksns.com/203729/ This includes developmental, learning impaired, and physical disabilities. I feel I've barely read a single novel where a main character is disabled. by Special-Nebula299

Does anyone know of a council in the UK that's doing a really spiffing job? Any party, or coalition. It seems to me that they're all on a hiding to nothing. There's money, and raising poll tax seems like a poor idea. If the Greens...

Local council elections shouldn't be a proxy "anti-UK government" vote. They should be about how to best manage statutory services, and whatever discretionary spend is left over. Which, as Reform have discovered, is very little.

I saw someone posting the other day about a <p> tag nested inside an <h>, and I was like, why would you do that? I still don't know, but look what I found on a page about doing an accessibility audit for your LMS...

If you play golf, and you can be arsed, can you try this app. A friend of mine wants feedback on it before they launch it globally... compete-golf.com

@jonsevers.bsky.social I wonder how many people give up on the TES sign up process with this absolute travesty of a process. This message appears *after* you try to add a perfectly good, secure password...

Hey @schoolsweek.bsky.social I like the redesign, but you need to take a look at your H2 and H3 on mobile...

Giving kids nursery opportunities is great and all, but how about we get rid of deprivation?

My daily ask... "What's the point of gender?"

Has anyone I know ever pitched the TLS and would you be up for answering some qs?

If male MPs can bring porn into the House on their mobile phone, a few dildos shouldn't be a problem... Or is this a gender issue??? Remind me, what's the point of gender?

@janeharrislondon.bsky.social talked to the Education Committee today to highlight what the Government needs to do so that every child with speech and language challenges, including the 1.3M children with Developmental Language Disorder, gets the support they need to communicate, learn and thrive.

I think they were all at the same gig as me on Saturday.... Why would you go to a gig and just natter all the way through?

As someone who wrote a lot of (now lost) poems as a kid, I started reading poetry to my blind, toothless cat a couple of winters ago. Egged on by Clive James' "The fire of joy", which should be a standard text for O level English.

Once again I'm asking, "What is gender for?"

Whoever is in charge of CSS at Bluesky tonight has been on the booze

Lol, because all the colour in learning has been eradicated in secondary school 🤣🤣🤣 (Not by @cmooreanderson.bsky.social I'd wager)

The reason I'm interested in this is because I'm trying to figure out what teachers will need in their DfE SEND CPD as part of the SEND Reforms...
