As I turn 50 today I thought I might post a poem that I wrote yesterday, back when I was in my 40s.

Getting old is weird.

Thanks for reading. :)

"We have to acknowledge there can't be a therapist at all times in classrooms...We actually need educators to know how to reduce reactivity, and that’s going to help them feel better by the end of the day too."

I’m back from hurkle-durkling. Thank you to those who’ve been saying kind things about Jakub’s Otter - I’ll respond in a day or two. It was wonderful to return to this. Thanks, again, to teachers & children involved in the process, and to the hard working team at @sparkbookaward.bsky.social

Emma Lara Jones recommends 'Emily's Papers' by Patience Agbabi. She says of the pamphlet: "Emily and Anne are on the DLR returning from the Retro Fantasy Con, Charlotte is cyberstalking a married man, and Branwell has a Star Wars obsession. Written while Patience Agbabi was writer-in-residence at the Bronte Parsonage Museum, these ten poems are a lot of fun but also have much to say about identity, neurodiversity, and being true to ourselves in a society intent on othering us."
