The view from my £70 a night room with private balcony I'm Hendon. Working here today, and then the TES SEND show tomorrow and Saturday. See y'all there.

The view from my 3rd floor flat across Hendon. Lots of large semi detached houses which have been extended in all sorts of ways. Quite a few gardens have large trees in them.

Probably my most shared website (even more than my own company site, I reckon).

If you're in the SEND and inclusion space, please don't use an overlay...

Very lucky to meet him in person... Give him a socially distanced hug from me if you see him again

You've literally just cut the incentives. Nothing at all for English and the Arts🤦

Certainly better than trying to get a teenager to articulate...

Parents, please teach your offspring to swim and to drive before they're in their 20s because it's SO much harder (and consequently more expensive) as adults. Ideally, they should be swimming comfortably as a young child and able to drive an articulated lorry cross country by age six

Who do i know here who's going to be at the TES SEND show this Friday and Saturday?

Fancy a coffee??

Chat about a taxonomy of SEND, lol?

Or the weather!

Those missiles are pointing at the UK...

Ah, ok. Fair enough 🤣

So even though their website is a bit janky, and they've been going long enough not to care, it was delightful to find the boss just so welcoming...

Now I just have to sell a bit more and they'll get my Drupal hosting for life.

Lol, they don't even have an OG image 😍

I was looking forward to a sales pitch this morning. A bit of a competition of yours, in fact, but not for me, so that's ok.

I'd read the website, and the docs too, which made sense to me. So I was looking forward to some genuine connection. The kind I imagine you having.

And I got it in spades

I hope the trains are running on time next week when I'm there for a conference on mainstream inclusion!

Jonny H @poppop.studio · 2d

Yeah, sadly Vlad, who gave a shit, has been sidelined...

Doesn't help that the big agencies don't care and are happy to ship lawsuit material for their household name clients (rhymes with Felon, lol)

Jonny H @poppop.studio · 2d

I bet there's a bit of taxonomy of needs in there for a mainstream inclusion resource directory too... 😉🤷😍

Back in 2019 / 2020 they had a small but might team on accessibility. I learnt a lot from being able to put my learning from your blog into practice on Webflow. I even wrote a book about Webflow and accessibility.
Not sure it would help anyone these days.
Such is the way of venture capital...

Thank goodness every council isn't going to go bankrupt due to spending on SEND... I was worried for a minute...

If you haven't read "H is for hawk" by Helen Macdonald, read this thread to get you in the mood...

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Because Sahil wants everyone in the NY office, and doesn't want to pay NY wages for a support team 🤷

It's just lovely 😍

There's a touch of Cattelan in there too...

This is the part that pisses me off the most. What kind of moron holds autocomplete on crack in higher regard than flesh and blood human beings?

I couldn't stand Latin at school (and ended up being sent up the hill to the Secondary modern to hack at wood and metal).

But I look up the etymology of words on a weekly basis.

www.etymonline.com/word/morphol...

But I read the etym

Morphology - Etymology, Origin & Meaning

Originating from German Morphologie (1817), morphology means the study of shape, form, and structure in biology, language, and general arrangement.

There would probably be more if they didn't insist on taking your phone number when you sign up.

Smacks of telesales.

Maybe I'm just projecting Amnesty. I fancied joining a local group to send postcards to political prisoners etc. Just got bombarded with donation calls.
