The idea of sustainability is essential here. I need to stop thinking it’s tough now but I can sustain it for a month, because a month becomes 6… becomes years of unsustainable labour. What is sustainable? Take care fave x

It's disingenuous to conceal how our work and life affect us. Jo and I have a paper coming out soon following up on our @teachinginhe.bsky.social paper about emotion (follow up to 2023), and I just feel it more than ever that our stories belong in learning spaces. Education shouldn't be santised.

New platform, old question. Why #Strictly do you use lighting that requires you to put out a warning? it’s not inclusive. Use better lighting. Be inclusive
