I've just had an amazing idea
If you're looking for help to develop reading in your school, this resource from the DfE is a fabulous place to start, no matter what country you teach in.
Take a look:
One thing that our secondary school librarian said to me a while ago is that she's seeing a sharp reduction in the number of children that have a library card, despite primary schools pushing reading & doing library visits.
So National Autistic Society responded to @tesmagazine.bsky.social article. One for you there @johngroberts.bsky.social.
Accurate response tbh.

I've got a fluorescent yellow strap that floats, from when I used to sail (badly).
It looks REALLY cool 😉
I can send it to you if you want 😊
That last line has big, 'Ah, fuck it!' vibes 🤪

You're not alone in being confused.
My profile is set up with my (very dull) work info, but I use it mainly for connecting to people in Education, Computing, & general tech, which confuses people when I try to connect with them. I have no idea what I'm doing 🤷♂️
A common argument put forward by British AI boosters is that we *have to* hand the life’s work of the UK’s creatives to AI companies, because other countries are doing so.
But they are wrong, for three reasons.

I earn a little from my books but not from my podcast or sharing my work online. People say my posts make them feel calm and that’s worth a lot to me. Surviving as a creative is increasingly hard.

Yeah, I get that. I've also just remembered another one (I don't know what channel without looking it up) with Violet Berlin, which I think attracted a lot more lads, and probably a fair few ladies too 😉
One of the most powerful things I've read in years, and a real dropping of the scales moment for something vile that has been insidiously poisoning everything for decades

I delivered a parcel to him at Dean Mill once. It was quite early on a Saturday morning. After a couple of knocks on the front door, he leaned out of (what I assumed was) his bedroom window, wearing blue & white stripey pyjamas, and asked me to just leave it by the door.
Finally finished re-working my Elite Dangerous button box.
Sure, I could use a Stream Deck to control all the extra stuff, but c'mon ... real buttons and toggle switches and a missile switch and LEDs? Way cooler.
Actually (and I didn't look this up), or just came to me 😁 It was rather unimaginatively called, I think, Gamesmaster.
There used to be a Saturday morning computer games show, hosted by Dominic Diamond, but I can't remember what it was called 😬

This might be the silliest contraption I've ever cooked up but it seems to work? mostly?
We never mention is many who are #neurodivergent spend years being given inappropriate serious medication, anti depression, anti anxiety, even anti psychotic drugs. It really is horrific as it never works, years in and out of therapy.
So if your trying to save NHS budgets tbh. Diagnosis matters.

Yep, I gained a lot of experience soldering headers on Pi Zeros. There's nothing like 20pin strips to get your eye in.

Hope it all goes well, Les. Make sure you allow yourself plenty of time to recover.
Today I want to talk about Jess’ Rule and Martha’s Rule, two new initiatives across NHS England that I think are really important and you should know about.
Tl;dr: if your symptoms are not improving or getting worse, at home or in hospital, you have the right and Drs the responsibility to review.
