Word of the day, should you be feeling a little huffish, is ‘apanthropy’ (18th century): a love of solitude and the desire to be away from other people.

He was old and partially sighted when he fell in 4 days ago scared by a truck.

It wasn't the easiest rescue as the water is filthy with sewage there and he was biting a lot out of fear.

The little old guy is in our hospital now. Weak but nothing unfixable ♥️

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

This is a really appalling editorial error on BBC Question Time

"Apparently one in three children don't speak English as a first language, why does this matter?"

Chair says "have English as a second language"

Caption changes the meaning entirely
"Don't speak fluent English"

In the first few days I just saw with her and watched her sleep for 23.5 hours a day.

Look at her today. My heart could explode with happiness for her ❤️

And which government behaviour adviser Tom Bennett publicly lambasted the journalist for revealing at the time, because why even pause for a second to consider the actual accusations themselves when you can just try and machine-gun the messenger

The Mossbourne Academies Safeguarding report shows strict behaviour policies harmed children. And they wonder why children with SEND in mainstream are traumatised & why parents opt for specialist provision. This must be central to the Schools White Paper

It depends on how one is measuring ‘success.’ Because this is what we are currently dealing with. Pat McFadden, SoS for Work and Pensions expressed concern over this state of affairs at the weekend. I would suggest the government put all the factors together and respond cohesively. #EduSky
