I grew up pre-potter, there are so many brilliant books out there (even with brooms & british accents) & countless others since. It's so lazy to fall back on a singular series of mid books & keep handing them to the next generations because they were well marketed decades ago.

Heck even The Worst Witch series is right there. Us pre-potter kids did just fine on those before graduating to Pratchett.

100% this. We can give our kids great books, better written book, even better British books with brooms.

Good morning everyone the UK supreme court just revoked my rights in a court case funded by Rowling so if any of you still want to defend her or continue supporting the IPs that empower her then genuinely go fuck yourself

You don't need to be out of the house every day. You don't need to attend groups every day. Make sure you listen to your child's rythyms or you'll all burn out.

It's absolutely awful, life threatening for someone with a weakened immune system. I wish everyone would just wash their hands more! And mask in public loos, all those particles floating in the air 🤮

But they just said no. They said it's our choice if we want to wear masks. They've not risk assessed at all. It's horribly exclusionary but then, I've never found the home ed community very welcoming to CV. Near me they're a lot more anti vaxx than anything else.

I actually said "I'd love to see the use of respirators being promoted for events like this, in the same way you've asked everyone to bring hand sanitiser " I think that makes them look weirder than me. Imagine thinking hand sanitiser is going to do anything at all 🤦‍♀️😆

Decadence dancer @decadencedancer.bsky.social · 02/03/2025
There's a long list of rules for this rally, including everyone bringing & using hand sanitiser. But when I asked them to promote the use of respirators I was shut down and told that was a me problem. 2/3

Yes to all this! Plus using things like RSPB, nspcc, national trust, wwf who all have free resources online that you can build topics around! Some are even physical packs they send in the post

I get the email but I don't check emails during the day (or ever...) it's frustrating to keep setting up notifications on the app only to have them not work. Thank you for the suggestion though

This doesn't work for me, that's why i mentioned it. Zero notifications. Checked with some others, they have the same problem. Thank you though 😊

Decadence dancer @decadencedancer.bsky.social · 18/02/2025
Is there a reason we can't A) opt in once and have it apply to all sessions or B) have notifications that work through the app? Really tiresome having to check each day or hoping to see the post on social media. Thnx

Passing them strung up on the fence is such a strong childhood (into early adulthood) memory for me. Daring each other to touch their soft little bellies on the walk to school. The mowdy man, such a recognisable figure stalking through the village once a season.

Everyone does. Cover art/font means you can spot a trash read a mile away. Saves a lot of time, means I avoid reading absolute dross.

It's semantics. If we all stopped saying it counts as 'reading' & started saying "audio books count as book consumption" the pedants wouldn't have any argument.

I used to do a weekly basket when they were littler, but strewing works so well for us that I don't do the basket any more. We do have a shelf dedicated to whatever topic we're working on (robin hood and stone age at the minute!) which I'm enjoying.

A bit of maths, engineering & DIY here today to fix up the chicken run roof now that the biosecurity measures have come in to protect flocks from avian flu. So also a bit of learning about biosecurity. 🐔🐔🐔

Oh what a pain! The only time we had a problem submitting is if we went over or under the word limit. Their customer service is really efficient though, if you drop them an email you should get a quick reply.

Do you do pawprints badges at all? They have a virtual Antarctic adventure badge (a Collab with Twinkl) if you fancy the other end of the world! 🐧

This morning was shopping for us, list writing, budgeting, stock-taking (what we already have in) meal planning, actually doing the shop, speaking to staff, navigating the world... Education really never stops.
