Your kids ask for a lot.
But most of all, they ask for time.
And now…and now, here they are asking for more time.

Just give it to them.
Been thinking about this. I started a Minizine at school yesterday but then left it there. Where are you?

Been thinking about this post (Energy makes time) a lot. Particularly as I’ve gone back to work this week after our summer break. (I’m a teacher).

What’s the difference between sending a rocket to the moon and getting children to succeed in school? What’s the difference between a surgeon extracting a brain tumor and a judge and jury deciding guilt or innocence for a person accused of murder?

YouTube has stopped giving you any videos if you have your ‘watch history’. So now, when I go to my, logged in, YouTube it’s blank. Before, it was a mix of my subscriptions and some others but now… silence. And it’s glorious. I’m watching my subscriptions now!
Apple Secretly Looks for Candidates Who Are Willing to Say These 3 Little Words
A little smug that I guessed this!
Treppenwitz is a German word meaning ‘stairway joke’. It’s a word for the joke or comeback you think of way too late – on the stairway as you’re leaving the building. I often experience the pain of a missed Treppenwitz.

I find these extended bouts of “boredom” raise my mind into a kinder, more empathetic place.
One of the first things I did, after coming back to the UK, was to go to the library. I miss them.

‘The task is impossible’: three teachers on why they are quitting | Teaching | The Guardian
First time in the UK in four years and… it doesn’t feel like home anymore even if there’s so many things that I dearly miss when I’m in China. Yet, I can’t imagine coming back to teach here. Though I could probably find a job.

The one thing Lyra won’t eat when we go to the UK… Chinese takeaway. She hates it.
