It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 14 years, since 2 Mar 2009 (via @twi_age).

@FoxyLustyGrover I sometimes watch the news and struggle to believe it’s not satire 🥴

Do you ever watch the news and think "The whole world has gone fuckin' mad." ?

@richardosman @robbeckettcomic Please get the @chatabix1 guys to write and perform this on behalf. It would be brilliant.

@robbeckettcomic If we wrote a song called 'Paprika Lover' we would win Eurovision.

I have a lot of observations about European crisps, but the key one is that Salt & Vinegar stops at Dover.

My body’s reaction to these covid boosters is no joke. Last night was worse than when I had covid.

Was the @BlackFerns haka even more powerful because they are doing it to England? Or have I spent too long teaching colonisation

@bigjcleary Good work. Love you. Xx

Seeing out my last day of 36 listening to Lauryn Hill and eating pizza in the sunshine. Pretty good end to a year as it goes.

@bigjcleary 😭

Oh look. There's 6 Sundays until Christmas.

@LizzieMarvelly The worst part is the crazies who continue letting them off over the next few weeks/months. My floof can’t cope.

Thankfully went back to sleep. Feeling for all the parents of littlies tonight. And pet parents with frightened floofs 🙁

Aaaaaand the baby is awake. I hate this stupid night with a vengeance.

My well-being position at school makes me wonder things. Like, I get the need and benefit of good staff appraisal in work places. But what about workplace appraisal? Workplaces should want to know they’re good employers, meeting staff needs too.

@FoxyLustyGrover Life long asthmatic here too. I was worried about masks but they were fine. Except if I taught a full 6 period day that included a lot of speaking. I’d be very short of breath and dizzy by the end of day. But manageable.

Way back when the whole mask thing kicked off I did a little experiment for my own interest. Life long asthmatic as I am I know what not being able to breathe feels like. 1 mask is barely restrictive, I got up to 11 masks at once before it felt like even a moderate asthma attack.

@tintinskywalker @NZATE01 This was such a poignant and thought provoking read. Thank you. I will take this into my reflections and forward planning and look forward to sharing this with my department. Kia Ora!

@FoxyLustyGrover This is probably a silly question but can you eat oats?

I've been having yoghurt and banana and peach slices for breakfast but I feel like I want something with crunch in it, but I can not eat muesli it makes me uncomfortably gassy, any ideas?

Yay Principal of Mana College on news “ I don’t think truancy existed before colonisation” - looking to work with Ngā Toa to benefit all young people - refreshing

Hey teachers, we’re celebrating neuro diversity week next week, and I’d love to share some ideas for classroom games / brain breaks that would align/promote and support this. Any ideas? #teaching #neurodiverse #nzteachers

were you a highly sensitive child, or were you just responsible for the feelings of the adults around you

According to Correction stats(2017) About 65 per cent of prisoners in the New Zealand corrections system do not have NCEA Level 1 - literacy and numeracy competency. How can we do better?

It’s hard to have a bad day with the little muppets around.

@WgtnCC hey someone knocked on our door in ngaio and said water was going off for a few hours but we still seem to have water a couple of hours later? Is it yet to go off or is it back on? Any help? Thanks
