My mum’s been gone five months now and I’m through the daily crying phase and into the temporary timeslip stage. Walking home from the shop and thought ‘Oh I should pop by and see her.’ And then I remember. Bugger.

@mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social Listened to your chat with Davina on my way to work as a secondary school journalism teacher. You inspired me in so many ways, including getting my newbies to write a piece entitled “Who they told me I am vs. who I know I am.” …
It’s a humbling moment when your mother tells you it’s time you stopped trimming your own hair and got ‘a proper cut’ and you’ve actually been getting it done professionally for 6 months. I thought it looked good…

Congratulations to my first crop of @globalacademy.com journalists. I know how hard you fought for this and am bursting with pride!
I have reached the ‘retired dad’s personal tech support’ stage of life.
Ooh! A @msmirandasawyer.bsky.social podcast about the 90s? Very much yes please.

My granddaughter's prom tonight and two of the teachers on the gate dressed up like Max & Paddy. Absolute class!
Teaching is opening a lot of interesting doors for me this month. I’ll be hosting a workshop alongside Global and Channel 4, attending a Parliamentary Reception and doing the paper review on 5Live all in the same week…

MUST WATCH: They didn’t just burn Tulsa — they burned proof. Black wealth. Black futures. Gone. And now they’re banning books so you never learn it happened. 📚 ERASED tells the truth they’re scared of. Read it before they erase that too: stan.store/gxldsociety/...
Erm. Teachers. I’ve just said goodbye to my first cohort and am broken. How do you keep doing this?
Writing goodbye notes to my year 13s (they leave on Friday). I managed 7 and am in bits. Please tell me it gets easier.
Very VERY proud of Global Academy’s young journalists, photographers and artists. Look what we made!
My kids referring to what’s happening at the Vatican as the Pope Reveal is peak 2025.
And you may find yourself living in a thatched-roof hut And you may find yourself living in the Holy Roman Empire And you may find yourself negotiating with your lords And you may find yourself in a beautiful hall, with a beautiful wife And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"
As a result of there being fewer cars on the M1 on a Friday. I don’t have to set off for work as early today. So *of course* I’m wide awake at 04:30. Of…bloody…course.
