Dr Sarah Hewitt

She’s learnt her lesson about wanting hotels full of foreigners and immigrants being burnt down. See. Prison does work

A Red Kite from underneath holding flesh in its talons and looking down at it

Look at the face! 😍
I was thrilled to get this shot of a gorgeous Red Kite today near Steart Marshes in Somerset! 😀
It was holding the flesh of some creature in its talons and was eating it as it flew right over my head! 😮
Zoom in and just Look at the face! 😍🐦

What an intelligent and thoughtful take on what happened. Well done that lovely woman.

We’ve only got one copy left of this.
If somebody wants to buy it while I’m out with the dog, that would be great.

Hurrah! I adored Ghosts.

I love it that Hannah is a plumber. And now a plasterer. Well done her.

I hear you normies get paid today, fancy some things and stuff?

I know they've done many things. But they need to do more. And they need to STOP chasing reform on immigration.

Well, you're wrong. All the evidence says so. You have an *opinion* that mis-genders thousands of people including children. I'm sorry you feel that way.

Whatever you may think about Polanski, the Greens have out-laboured Labour. Starmer needs to take this on board and steer his party back to the left and DO something.

It was called that, but now we know better.

Ah, so you don't believe someone can have all the body parts of gender A, but are actually gender B.

But it's possible to have all the male body parts and know that you are a woman and identify as such. Why is that such an issue?

Been thinking about this on my morning dog walk. "Magical thinking" is what we had before science and rigorous scientific approaches taught us about how the world really is. It's possible to be fully male- or female-bodied and identify as the opposite gender. It's not common, but it is normal.

America, just when it seemed you couldn't sink any lower, you have.

DM me your email and I'll send you a copy.

They're vulnerable to 'influencers'. They have lost / never built up their resilience and I worry for them. They will be lost to society.
Even some of those that did go back to school seem unable to accept the concept of 'work', mental or physical.

The biggest impact I've seen is in the increased number of school 'refusers'. They didn't go in COVID, they didn't want to go back, and they realised that no-one could make them. Their expectations are so low, same yet they are the same ones susceptible to get-rich-quick and similar schemes.

Yes, that's what I said. I thought I was clear.

There's nothing to elaborate on. Trans women are women. Simple. Welcome to my world where the only gender I fear are hetero men.

Not really.

Trans women are not the problem.

I am totally relaxed with anyone identifying as female using female changing rooms. Cis men are the real problem for women.

That started it, followed by COVID, followed by space Karen taking over twitter, where a lot of good conversations took place and now only the people who can't bear to give up their follower count remain.

Always wanted to add Twitter data as so many conversations happened about posts there, but that's gone now. Destroyed by space Karen.

Took me four years! Wrote the code, scraped the data, cleaned it up, subjected it to topic modelling. 54 topics that ebbed and flowed from 2004 to 2020. The big year i.e. most blogs collected was 2015 - I got over 11,000. It's really dwindled since then.

Gove and behaviour in schools were hot topics for a while, and not in a good way although I didn't do sentiment analysis, I just read enough of a few while checking my code to get the flavour.

I went up to the end of 2017 and then did an update to the end of 2020. The method is out of date now that LLMs have taken over topic modelling but it was fascinating seeing the diverse range of edu-community topics.

My PhD was based on what teachers blogged about and Michael Gove was definitely not popular AT ALL. No idea where DC gets that from.

SEND provisions should only be available to children with clear needs e.g. those with sense, physical or cognitive impairment. Parents of kids with ADHD or similar would be better off if teaching was good, the school was quiet and disruption wasn't tolerated.
