I haven’t been on this platform for months and I haven’t received a specific message to me in all that time. My feed is flooded with ads and promos for nothing I’m interested in. Time to say goodbye Twitter. Or X or whatever you are now. Ruined.

It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 14 years, since 30 May 2009 (via @twi_age).

Day 15 of flu& pneumonia. No energy, no voice, racking cough, fever & wheezing. More time off ordered - more meds. Sigh. Wear your masked peeps. Covid ain’t the only serious bug.

I came down with influenza a week ago & now pneumonia. Been on antibiotics for 3 days with no improvement. Doc says go to ED. Really don’t want to but breathing is wheezy and cough is bad. Ugh - I hate being sick and scared.

Excited to be presenting! Register online for heaps of awesome goodness and celebration of what we love as English teachers. #NSWETA #etapd

Habilitation versus rehabilitation. Prison cannot rehabilitate people. But Shakespeare Behind Bars allows participants to learn how to habilitate. Facing up to the life that was while ever moving toward a new life. #bellconf22

Curt L Tofteland - the journey of truth is a very difficult one to navigate. Sitting in the circle of truth there is always invitation, never invasion, always opportunity, never demand. This is Shakespeare Behind Bars. #bellconf22

A consequence of doing this work is to allow my heart to be broken every day. A by-product of loving deeply is grieving deeply. #bellconf22

Shakespeare rights on all levels of being: physical, emotional, spiritual and psychological and all of Shakespeare’s stories explore these levels of being. #bellconf22
