I can get behind this movement! And it's time soup got called out for masquerading as a meal. It's just a chewy drink that's too wet to be food.

It's International Coffee Day. A moment to put our caffeine-based differences aside and unite against our common enemy: soup.

I'm feeling very forswunk this week. Slightly concerned as it's only September and there's another 10 months of the academic year to go 🙈

Susie Dent @susiedent.com · 22d

Today I offer a reminder of the word ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted from too much work. To be ‘foreswunk’ (my own version) is to be exhausted before you even begin.

Might have mildly dislocated my neck nodding along with everything! Love both the critical response to the avalanche of SSP in the reading curriculum and a call to action for more nuanced approaches and prioritising motivational and mattering.

Loved this session! It was great to work with such supportive colleagues and to feel so much joy in the room for narrative methods and social justice ❤️

This reminds me of one of my favourite organisational culture papers on 'functional stupidity'. We talk about this a lot in our PGCHE, and how culture change is so hard because those leading too often start with a collective memory of 'how things have always been done'.
