Here's a thing I did! Exciting to see one of my poems live and released into the world 😊
Elizabeth Worthen @LizLearning imagines a precious past in 'How it begins'.
Read the full poem at the link below, or through the link in bio: inksweatandtears.co.uk/eliza…
ALT A blue sky is overtaken by the wings of a moth, also dark blue, that hover in the top half of the image. In the bottom half, a country scene with a cottage. There is an excerpt from the poem 'How it begins' by Elizabeth Worthen. It reads: This is how (I like to think) it begins: night-time, August, the Devon cottage, where the darkness is so complete, you might lie in bed, hearing the flit flap skitter of moth wings, fearing their glancing caress against your cheek.

Out and about in London Bridge today for the @OptimusEd Mental Health & Wellbeing conference. Always good to have an opportunity to catch up with colleagues 😃 #oeWellbeing
Be kind, be gentle - good reminders for #stressawarenessweek

Take some time for yourself this week and try not to worry about things that aren't in our control.

'What are you doing that's a complete waste of time and doesn't matter?' Loving hearing from @diana_osagie at #oeMATs
A calm space for contemplation before the @OptimusEd MATs Summit begins. This year we're in Stratford-upon-Avon, so plenty of opportunity for Shakespeare-theming 😃 #oeMATs

This is a horrific read.
But, again, it’s why I encourage men to loudly complain when they get roped into ‘bants’ like this.
It’s tough. You face possible ostracisation. We. Get. It.
But you’re also our main hope. We can’t do this alone.

Rejecting perfectionism is just one of @John_Dabell's 20 tips for staying well in the intensity of the school term. Check out oego.co/20_ways_being_well for the other 19 😀

Lots of great points re #socialmobility in this piece. The universities issue is important I think - if your local university can't offer a breadth of subjects due of funding difficulties or shortages, your options and horizons are lowered.
“Instead of talking down the work-from-home revolution, ministers should be unleashing remote working’s potential to spread employment opportunities across the country.”

A first in my 10 year career @OptimusEd: travelling to a conference via boat. Nice way to start the day! #oeMATs

Johnson & Patel want to deport refugees to Rwanda before even hearing their stories. Many have fled repression & war
We spoke to a Syrian held at a UK detention centre & recorded the call
