Thanks to the lovely group that came to mine and Rona Archers conversation about why #supervision has to be part of moving forward together. We talked about impact of regular robust supervision for senior leaders. How it safeguards their wellbeing as well as supporting their role in SG. #ASCL2026

"In the 3 decades between 1993 and 2024, measles in the U.S. was relatively rare – few 100 cases each year, at most. But suddenly, the disease has become so entrenched in American life that it sometimes fails to make headlines when a new outbreak erupts."

Noticing how far #Supervision has come as a topic of conversation in #Education in that it is increasingly on the education conference timetable, and encouraging anyone who is at the #ASCL conference to go to listen to @talkingheadsoak.bsky.social

We have a real problem in this country with how the press portrays and writes about Muslims. This story is just another example of that. It will be no surprise if you follow my work that the Telegraph and Daily Mail are two of the worst offenders🙄 cfmm.org.uk/resource/th...

Oh boy! What a headline... Ask yourself: "What am I being asked to believe?" "Who am I being told to blame?" Take a few seconds to imagine what the Daily Mail (And Telegraph, GB News and Express) WANT you to think is going on. Let's see what's ACTUALLY happening...🧵 1/21

Get involved!!

Has to be a wokey dokey @quietriotpod.bsky.social

Judging this this year. Get in..

Compare this thread to the Chilcot Checklist, produced after the invasion of Iraq to avoid another stupid war.

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals. That amounts to $456,621 per hour. But how are you doing?

Isabel Oakeshott: anti-migration commentator, economic migrant to Dubai, possible future evacuee of the very British state she insists is broken. Isn’t it funny how mobility becomes acceptable when it’s your own?

What she said and also the whole thread.

This is not the place to tell me that Americans aren't doing anything about this because we're docile cowards. Americans are doing a lot about this and you just don't know because our media isn't talking about it.

Really thoughtful speech, thanks for sharing it again @bennewmark.bsky.social

I really think that society as a collective thinks people with learning disability and those who love them should lower expectations and accept they will have a worse life than others. They are the most marginalised group in society by far.

There's a bunch of Chevening Scholars in my Masters classes and they massively enrich it. Impressive people and also so obviously wedded to going back and improving their own countries.

By sticking to the correct and popular position on Iran, even under relentless attacks from the right-wing press, Keir Starmer has forced his political opponents into an embarrassing reversal. It is a lesson his Government should learn from bylinetimes.com/2026/03/10/n...

“Never once did Reform promise to cut council tax” insists an angry Nigel Farage to Sky News. Here's some of the leaflets Reform have been putting out ahead of the local elections

And so we write to brilliant postgraduate students from Sudan, withdrawing the offers and scholarships they won in open competition with the best in the world. A sad day for the University of Oxford.

"Arguably, setting only really benefits the teacher. It’s uncomfortable to say that out loud, but we should be prepared to think about it honestly." A very interesting 'What If' for March from David Hatchett... www.tes.com/magazine/lea...

NEW: Is this the broligarchy’s first world war? AI, like war & rape, is a hyper-masculine fantasy of God-like power, a myth at the dark heart of what we’re seeing play out in the Gulf. This war hasn’t replaced the Epstein scandal. It is the Epstein scandal. open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

This is what ecocide looks like.

Wondering whether there are headteachers and senior leaders in your networks who may be interested in this @moremorrow.bsky.social @edfinch.bsky.social @suecowley.bsky.social @ruthswailes.bsky.social @happyheadteacher.bsky.social #EduSky

Russians are providing military technology to Iranian proxies

Right... And all for a conflict with no defined purpose, and no end goal, waged by leaders who apparently have no domestic guardrails and almost no limits as to what methods they will use.

Brilliant from @nesrinemalik.bsky.social: how Trump & Netanyahu have just jeopardised the entire Gulf State apparatus. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump bombs. The Telegraph screams humiliation. The Mail screams betrayal. GB News screams weakness. And all of a sudden a complex global crisis becomes yet another loyalty test to American power. The UK deserves better than this performative war hysteria. 🐻

Thanks for this. Seems to me LI is trying to do 2 things, 1) how to let people know what you do (so that those interested can find out) and 2) find a way of connecting as we did on old style twitter but because of 1) that’s not working so well! Having said that more than happy to connect with anyone

🚨 International Women's Day Junko Tabei, a Japanese climber, was told to stay home and raise a family. She ignored that and, in 1975, was the first woman to summit Everest. 1/5🧵

A judge even tried to ban the word ‘rape’ from the courtroom. Throughout it all, her refusal to be cowed - and her insistence that shame must change sides - were, and remain, utterly inspiration. Thank you, Gisèle Pelicot. #IWD2026

What a thread.

Happy #WorldBookDay 🎉📚🤩 Books and reading are celebrated across the year in my school but very excited to welcome @ldlapinski.bsky.social to my school for an authors visit today! So grateful to LD for making it possible 👏🏻👏🏻 #ScoEdu @worldbookdayuk.bsky.social @scottishbooktrust.bsky.social 📚📚

Happy #WorldBookDay 📚 Enjoy the celebration, but also take a moment to be curious. Who has access? Who can find belonging in a story? thatpovertyguy.substack.com/p/equitable-... #EquitableReading #FairStory

Thanks Sean. This is such an important message - there are a range of hidden barriers in making books accessible. Enjoying stories and story making is so pivotal to being curious and humane. @talkingheadsoak.bsky.social @itsmotherswork.bsky.social you will both like this too!

I’m going to be at the Festive of Education talking about my EdD research!

This week in Talking Climate: why a warming world can mean worse winter weather, and how one of the world's biggest cities just cleaned up its air 184 years ahead of forecast. Read on!

Did you see this headline? Did you feel the requisite anger and rage at asylum seekers that The Sun was asking of you? Did you maybe blame Starmer because.... um... it was probably his fault🤷‍♀️ Would you like to know the reality behind the headline? Course you would!😜 Let's take a look 🧵 1/25

Great idea- hoping to find others working to offer and support the implementation of #Supervision in #Education. Working across the country and across sectors I hear a lot about dilemmas senior leaders are dealing with. It would be so good to connect

Thanks to Sara @seainclusion.bsky.social for reading and concisely analysing her view on education reform I found it helpful. @talkingheadsoak.bsky.social #EduSky
