Music fan. UK science teacher in an FFP3 mask.

The right mask makes it easy to sing, perform, teach, or speak in public.

The silence is deafening on COVID.

The plan is to keep people in the dark.

If you still wear a mask. If you still protect yourself and others. If you test. If you stay home when you are sick. If you still acknowledge that #CovidIsNotOver - you are a candle.

Candle (original)
"The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes."

Most people ignore COVID. But the effects are in plain sight.

The time in my life when I've been most proud of being British was when I served on a jury.

Hearing Boris Johnson whine about the UK Covid-19 Inquiry reminds me of something.

Following the 2nd report of the UK Covid-19 Inquiry, a bunch of people are moaning about lockdown, saying we should have been more like Sweden. Moaning about the report.

You folks won - the world decided to ignore COVID.

Why are you so miserable?

Follow-up appointment at the doctor today.

The doctor was off sick.

Thank you to their colleague, who covered the appointment.

I've just joined LinkedIn.

Please say "Hi" if you are there.

Everybody's been talking. The news travels fast.

They said the fire would stop burning. That the flame wouldn't last.

But I don't worry, honey. Let them say what they may.

I wanna stick with you.

We'll find a way. Yes, we'll find a way.

Everything about SARS-CoV-2 weakens us as a species. Population-level immune dysregulation leading to both reactivation of latent pathogens and creating niches for new ones; the politicisation of our response regressing public health and massively amplifying anti-vax ideology.

I wore one of these when I hoovered my children's bedroom today.

I have loads of them, because I wear them when I teach. But I don't always remember to wear them when doing the hoovering.

Even though it says "dust mask" on the box.

I teach.

My job is full-time in-person, so I don't know much about working from home, or hybrid working.

But today I attended a meeting remotely. As my travel time was zero, I was able to do my job better.

WFH & hybrid working is not going away.

Am I a traitor or a faithful?

Unlike the show, we are trying to keep everyone in.

Daniel Willingham is Professor of Psychology at the University of Virginia.

I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Manchester.

I'd like to propose a new phenomenon - called "The Willingham-Wildflower Effect".

It's a cognitive bias. @dtwuva.bsky.social 🧵

Something's missing from the new Curriculum Review, looking at education in England.

It's not the pandemic.

It's working from home, and hybrid working.

Do you think this is a problem?🧵

The veil is thin on Halloween.

If you use social media, you may find all sorts of ghouls, creeps & trolls come out tonight.

Remember that you aren't locked in here with them. They are locked in with us!

Here's what to do.🧵

I'm looking forward to some really exciting mask pics over the next few days.

But it's my aim to post the most boring mask selfie of the pandemic.

Have I managed it yet?

In the UK, children still (just about) get free dental care on the NHS.

The UK government will continue to fine parents and pretend that COVID has gone away.

@georgiagould.bsky.social says there is an "absence epidemic". Can anyone suggest how to improve school attendance?

As you can see from the orange mask, I'm in jail right now.

If you can see this, please could you send me a gif of something I can use to escape!

The lion may not concern himself, but I saw four people today, in and around the British Museum, who do show concern for themselves and others.

4 top quality masks
Plus LOTS of visiting school students in reasonable masks.

Plus ours.
