Slow Horses S5 Ep3 no context

Was awake since 3.30am and couldn't get back to sleep so decided to watch it. Absolutely superb episode, 10/10 no notes.

I don’t usually post much personal stuff, but I thought this was worth it. Cleaning my little boy’s room and found that he’s been writing some notes to himself to make sure he keeps his head up. 🥹

I was born in the 70s and have never seen Back to the Future. Also never seen a single episode of EastEnders or Coronation Street.

Any recommendations for Australian crime/drama series? I have already watched and very much enjoyed Mr Inbetween, Deadloch, Black Snow and North Shore.

Saturday viewing: 1) The Royal Hotel: Fairly straightforward but decently engaging thriller. 2) Hotel Coolgardie: The documentary that the above was based on. Riveting & disturbing in equal measure. 3) The Assistant: Same director as TRH. Understated & quietly powerful. Julia Garner is brilliant.

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

Love Jackson Lamb ❤️

I just feel like almost everything is kinda fucking awful for everyone right now hey. What’s something NOT awful you’ve got going on in your life?

A teacher rang last week, offering support for my son who is struggling to attend No-one asked him He just realised my son was absent & wanted to help My son already thought he was the best teacher Just one teacher, who cares + one topic he's interested in *might* turn around school refusal

👉Why we don't offer attendance rewards Attendance rewards don't boost attendance, argues this senior leader, and actually make some pupils attend less or feel discriminated against. His school has taken a different approach - he explains it below. www.tes.com/magazine/tea...

One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

#FridayFive has children requesting "robot songs." Sorry. 1. The Robots. Kraftwerk. 2. Yoshemi Battles the Pink Robots. The Flaming Lips. 3. Mr Roboto. Styx. 4. Intergalactic. The Beastie Boys. 5. Around the World. Daft Punk.

Just finished a rewatch of seasons 1-4 of #SlowHorses and am now excited to dive straight into S5!

On this we agree wholeheartedly.

Each morning , I remind myself that this is a beautiful planet and I contemplate how we must fight against the ugly minds that have so much power and so little imagination or empathy Robinince.com

Small Things Like These was understated but heartbreaking. Excellent performances.

The Ballad of Wallis Island was a lovely bit of Friday night viewing

schoolsweek.co.uk/solving-send... This is music to my ears and giving me some hope for the future of SEND. Time for the government to get their act together and implement real change.

It was raining heavily this morning and my son declared "Someone must have disrespected Zeus"

Bluesky isn’t perfect but at least its owner isn’t demanding violent insurrection in the UK from thousands of miles away

Enjoyed North Shore on Netflix this weekend, starring John Bradley's magnificent eyebrows 🤨

This, from the parent of a student who transferred to us from a school that was not willing to meet his needs, is everything. #SENDsky

Immensely proud of my AuDHD teen who started an archery course yesterday. She is a natural!

The absolute best thing about my job is taking on kids who have had a rough time elsewhere with EBSA or unmet needs, and seeing them begin to thrive 💜

Sir Martyn Oliver has failed. He was asked to bring in a system that reduced pressure and instead has proposed something that will continue to pile it on. Teachers need support in their profession, these changes fail to offer it. https://bbc.in/46hsKeU

It was my birthday last week and one of my year 7s presented me with these quail eggs hand-picked from her coop. Cutest gift ever! 🥚

Series 3 of Fisk was delightful but too short. More please!

Watched Sirens this weekend - decently entertaining. Love Julianne Moore.

Educating Yorkshire review – the joyful return of this school show is just the blast of optimism we need

Absolutely delighted that Educating Yorkshire is back!

Incomprehensible to this 2000s schoolboy that all the kids in Educating Yorkshire wear their bags on two straps, the uncool way

I have reached the "peak relaxation" phase of the summer holidays and it is delightful 💜💜💜

I'm not generally a stadium gig person at all, but I'm sorely tempted to buy tickets to see My Chemical Romance next year...

When you register your name in the Icelandic phonebook you can choose to state your profession. And they have a pretty loose definition of what exactly a profession entails. This person for example has opted for „þjóðhetja“. It means „National Hero“.

Binged all 6 seasons of Girls in 10 days (after loving Too Much). Absolute genius!

Big thanks to the Undertale & Deltarune cosplay crew at MegaCon for welcoming my kid to the fan meet this afternoon. Your outfits were incredible and she had a lot of fun!

Her cosplay is complete! Off to MegaCon...

It's the school holidays and here I am hard at work helping my teen make her Ralsei cosplay for a con tomorrow

It's that time of year when primary school kids bring their exercise books home and my 10-year-old's contain some absolute gems. Enjoy this thread! 1. Spelling tests

Navigating the teenage years with AuDHD is immensely challenging for both her and me. But last night we sat down together to watch Hot Fuzz and it was pure joy ❤️

Absolutely this. In my area, the only LA provision for autistic children capable of GCSEs is Resourced Provisions within mainstream. These work for many but those whose needs can't be met have to go to private specialist schools nearby. It's very expensive. We need more specialist schools.

Yeah, this is not it, thanks. Separate units with a set number of places would still need to have access to that support managed, whether they are within a mainstream school or not. How would it be decided which children would benefit from the provision? You would still need to assess need anyway.

In all the commentary about the gov's Special Needs changes (and one explicitly supportive opinion piece, in the Times), I haven't seen even the beginnings of a coherent argument for taking EHCPs out of mainstream schools, let alone a convincing one. If that changes, let us know
