This beautiful, heartbreaking and hopeful book by @thattillyrose.bsky.social kept me company this weekend. Tilly’s story is very much still being written. I would recommend it to anyone interested in patient experiences, complex/rare conditions, and systemic issues in NHS… #healthcare #NHS #Booksky

That is an amusing ad ironic proposition… I think unfortunately a lot of quite strong writing can be mistaken for AI writing - I’ve heard academics say that their own papers put into AI checkers come out as 85% AI! But this paragraph was very much within the HT’s usual style so I doubt it.

Currently reading… quite bleak and hard - hitting. Especially the footnotes. Anyone else read it? #dystopia #Booksky

We’ve just gone and got ten more which I might regret when it’s term time and I can’t find time to return them!

Just some of this summer’s reads for my kids, from the library, which has been a lifeline as they are devouring books like they’re sweets this summer. Also reserving them via the app and getting them in from all over London is brilliant. #Booksky #Edusky #Libraries 📚

BBC report on violent disorder in Thetford, Norfolk. A lot of effort to balance here re violence & anti-immig protest. What report describes violence targeting people's homes: whether the "alleged asylum seekers" are being misidentified or not is beside the point www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I agree, and also FE colleges who do some amazing things. Why not focus the funding and support there rather than trying to get schools to be jack of all trades?

Have you got scope to design CPD around it? Asking people for feedback on it or to self evaluate on certain areas are also ways to get engagement. But cpd followed by drop in/ observation whether by peers or leaders should help!

Trying to get hold of Helena Duggan to send her this gorgeous letter my daughter wrote. Two emails have bounced so far! Can anyone help? #HelenaDuggan #BookSky #Usborne 📚

Dear Helena Duggan,

My name is —- and I am 9 years old. I am writing to you to say that I really love your books that you have written and I have read all of them.I finished my last book of yours last night and now I want more. When my teacher let me borrow the book called A place called perfect, I didn't know I was entering a whole world of your books. So now that experience is over I want it to start up again.

Now I want to tell you more about how I love your books and I will also try to persuade you to write more. Your books are so great that I wanted to say if you do take this letter seriously and write a new book then don't change your writing style because I already recognise your writing style from your other books and I love it so much.

Finally I want to talk about the stories and how they flow and I even want to ask some questions.I really like how you build up tension and then make it a good book.Now I will ask some questions, they are: Who is your favorite character from all your books? What's your favorite series that you have written? Why did you decide to become an author?

Yours sincerely,
—-

Yes just description is fine but it’s good if it has some sort of clear structure. Circular/frame structure is good. We teach a simple catch all structure: 1. Describe setting 2. Describe character (invented if not in pic/ can be pre prepared) 3. Flashback 4. Return to present; what has changed?

Sheesh. Whoever did this is the lowest of the low… Most people won’t know about Hatzolah but it’s the most incredible volunteer run ambulance organisation which takes pressure off 999 by coming to local cases, often more quickly than the NHS can. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Orphan Black remains the best TV series I’ve ever watched. Beautifully made and brilliantly acted with Tatiana Maslany playing multiple characters so convincingly. I’ve just finished rewatching the whole thing. Avail on Netflix until 30 March! #OrphanBlack #tatianamaslany

This clip is all over the other place and has made its way onto GB News and Talk TV so I’ll do a bit of an explainer here too! The clip doing the rounds is of a fantastic police officer telling a group of Muslim men that a Christian preacher nearby is entitled to freedom of expression. 🧵 1/19

Screen shot from Paul Embery’s X account:

Respect to this police officer. Confronted by radicals demanding the arrest of a Christian preacher on the grounds that Whitechapel "is a Muslim area" she was calm and professional and
gave them short shrift. Let's see more of this from the police.
