@MelvinBurgess Epic!

Wildflower garden looking good at the moment.

Oh this is really cool!!!

@saramegan I’ll DM you

@alisonwaller Thank you! My questions are mainly logistical – what the day-to-day may look like, the route into the role etc – and are for a book that isn't about hospice care but features a character who is a palliative care nurse.

Possibly a long short, dear Twitter, but do any of you know anything (or know anyone who knows anything) about working in palliative care? Have some questions for fictional purposes. General logistics, for the most part - nothing personal.

💡It's Learning Disability Awareness Week 2024💡 What a perfect time to launch our end-of-life care planning toolkit! The team has worked hard getting the toolkit ready for you. Watch as the toolkit goes live on our website (victoriaandstuart.com) on Thursday at 3.30pm! 🎉

You may have seen that some of our team members have been running an online research course for people with learning disabilities 🧑‍🎓🖥️ Want to know more about it and how it went? Then read today's blog by @AndreaBruun👇 victoriaandstuart.com/post/65-piloti…

Look at this beautiful book (it’s brilliant on the inside too). upress.state.ms.us/Books/I/In-Tra…

@WallisEates Fun to see the faces of two people I know from very different contexts in the same space!

@odhreo Yup! Congrats Odhran! You rocked the viva…

This looks incredible!

@JanCarson7280 Fair enough - I know the ones you mean! The shortcuts to profundity…

@JanCarson7280 Except…if you have ever experienced this is real life it may well have had a profound effect on your understanding of life/death. I feel there might still be space for proper creative reflection on these kinds of moments?

@mmgiovanelli @NATEfeed Amazing!

@alisonwaller @NATEfeed Really enjoyed your talk, Alison! Catherine Stimpson's notion of the 'paracanon' is such a powerful & important one as an antidote to the 'literary merit' argument. We used it in our 'Studying Fiction' book and I had a great e mail exchange with Catherine about it a few years ago

Listening to @alisonwaller’s brilliant talk at @NATEfeed’s ITE conference. A wonderful take on why our reading histories matter and how teachers can ‘use books from our past to inspire teaching in the future’. #rereading #paracanon #literatureandemotion

Happy #WorldBookDay everyone!

Gearing up for World Book Day with a few thoughts on social reading…

How do books and reading positively impact #mentalhealth? @alisonwaller shares results from the current evidence base: inspirethemind.org/post/books-for…
