But if you’ve got any old smartphones or laptops sitting in a draw gathering dust, please consider donating them to a child who needs one to do their schooling from home littlelives.org.uk/donate/do…
If schools hadn’t been chronically underfunded for decades, textbooks might still exist in student’s lives, slightly alleviating the urgent need for devices.

Great tips and tricks to get you writing and doing it better!
It’s sometimes a bit too easy to forget not everybody made the digital jump. I’d wanted to bring out a book version of Your Creative Writing Toolkit, our #writingcourse for and anyone wanting to develop their #confidence and skills: to write more and better.

I’m doing a sponsored write this weekend with @GIWritersGym and @DrRKnightley in aid of @macmillancancer. What’s that then? I write a piece on a topic in a short time and then it gets published on Monday. And if you sponsor it, you get to read it. justgiving.com/fundraising/g…

It's been a while... Is Twitter still a thing? Is it a thing I should do? 🤔
America: Where textbooks tell you what you want to hear. Because, well, what are facts anyway? nytimes.com/interactive/2020…

just learned with horror that deleting any of the "family" emojis in google slides does not remove the emoji, but rather kills off each individual family member one by one, starting with the children
