Imagine having a life so small and inadequate that it would be improved if there were fewer black people in Sainsbury's ads.

So let me just try and understand this then...
Is the Spectator outing themselves as the impending Nazis. Or do they mean something else ๐Ÿ˜ฎ?

How things like this are becoming normal is mental.
The scary thing is that I regularly meet people who regurgitate it with very little critical thinking.

Thanks. I completed the submission form on the main website and said I'd be available for all the UK events in Autumn after the national conference. I've followed up via the email address as I was concerned the form hadn't submitted as I heard nothing back. Still hadn't so didn't know what to do.

@moremorrow.bsky.social - are you part of the team org ResearchEd Cornwall?
I made a submission to present early August on website and haven't heard anything back. I'm not precious and if it's a no that's ok but I've heard nothing and have chased a few times...and I'm beginning to feel bad chasing!

We did it! We completed our 500th Royal Tunbridge Wells parkrun and hope you all loved it as much as we did.
We had a sea of blue for the milestone, a selection of park life-themed fancy dress, and record-breaking attendance of 486 participants and 71 volunteers. Thank you and well done all...

And so, quite possibly that's it for long summer holidays. I didn't have them with my last overseas headship contract, but I've enjoyed this one.
From Monday you will find me doing this:

Last day of the summer holidays.
I start a new job on Monday, and it isn't in a school...I've finally managed to get a job outside of the daily grind. Headship over COVID, an unpleasant transition to a large MAT, an overseas stint and an interesting time in special measures in E.Sussex sees me out.

According to Strava I'm the fittest I've been for 1 year.
I'm also the fattest, so I'm uncertain how that's worked out.

Big news @rtwparkrun.bsky.social
If I manage to get out of bed for the 500th event next week I tip back to having TW as my home Parkrun. No more can I claim Cape Pembroke, the Falkland Islands as my most attended Parkrun.
I'm going to miss being able to claim this! I don't miss the wind though ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Your opportunity to contribute to parkrun this Saturday!

We're in need of several more marshals, and several to help with closedown at the end of parkrun. If you may be able to help, please get in touch with us at royaltunbridgewells@parkrun.com

Just finished reading 'The Tour, the cyclist and me,' by Pippa York and David Walsh.
Sensitively written and sad, which is something I'm not sure I've said about anything David Walsh has previously written.

Iโ€™ve mulled over posting this for months now. But yesterday it came to a head. And Iโ€™m aware that the people who need to see it will either not be here, or will suggest that Iโ€™m lying.

I live near an asylum hotel. The reason I didnโ€™t post earlier is that I didnโ€™t want to raise undue attention
