I’m interested. Can you signpost me to anything more I can read please?

sueyoung.bsky.social @sueyoung.bsky.social · Mar 13

Oh yes - the arrogance is infuriating

sueyoung.bsky.social @sueyoung.bsky.social · Mar 13

Me too! And then claiming that it’s the bright shiny new thing when I can remember something from years and years ago that was just the same. Maddening! So little interest in historical review - and no doubt then offering expensive training in the supposedly new shiny approach!

Since when did it come to this?

UCL Institute of Education @ioe.bsky.social · Feb 23

Research suggests 21% of schools in England now offer some form of food charity.

@alicebradbury.bsky.social and Sharon Vince (@hhcp-ucl.bsky.social) advocate for government recognition of this effort and for more resources to support food charity initiatives.

‘When you’ve got nothing in your belly, you can’t concentrate’: teachers on the food banks they run in schools

Teachers’ main justification for running a food bank was the moral imperative to support families who needed it.

Happy international pulses day everyone!

I’m trying to do my bit to spread the bean word - talking to garden societies, writing articles based on my book, and of course growing and eating a LOT of beans .

Incredibly disappointed that MPs didn’t get the chance to vote on the Climate and Nature Bill - a crucial piece of legislation to prevent climate breakdown and protect our natural world. But thanks to all those who backed it - I'll keep fighting for urgent climate action #CANBill

While I spot you posting - can I say how engrossed I am in your survivor’s guide - it’s taking me a long time to read because I keep having to double back on paragraphs to delight in your use of language, metaphor & ability to encapsulate complex issues in a few well chosen words. Thank you.

The problem is the size of soapbox he has. Pub bores and wild eyed reactionaries have existed forever in pubs& on literal soapboxes at Hyde Park corner. But this one has grabbed control of the online town square& is luring all like himself through a megaphone.

Valuable diagnosis of the problems and issues - but will you venture your own philosophy of purpose? - as a way out of the maze?

Just been offered $1.50 per word - per WORD! - for an article on Growing Beans for a US publication. Just imagine if that was a typical rate of pay for academic articles - -

@komaniecki.bsky.social - I'd like to cite your analysis/ranking of Disney songs - shall I refer to your original X postings, or look up one of the many articles and use one as a reference? If the latter, do you have an article you'd recommend? Thanks.
