More needs to be done to support the development of this generation of children.

Today's trip to Ickworth Estate @nationaltrusteast.bsky.social

My unpaid internship in London was Absolutely the first step in my career - it directly led onto a job in the same company three months later.

I was only able to make it work because it was two days a week, and I was able work the other five. I worked seven days a week for over a month.

Literally yesterday in therapy we talked about how I probably should be taking the week's weather forecast into account when I'm planning my week, so that I can be realistic in my expectations of myself.

First visit to @nationaltrust.bsky.social Stowe today! I've walked for HOURS and I honestly believe I could walk for hours more, if only I had a hot chocolate trolly trundling along behind me

I've been slogging through a book for the last... 6 weeks maybe? And I'm so torn between DNF and trying to get to the end - I want to know the resolution, but the writing is so clunky and repetitive that it's a genuine chore. It's 600+ pages and I'm finally over halfway through but it's.... so meh.

Writers, musicians, actors & other creators strongly oppose upending copyright law to favour AI companies, as suggested in the UK's AI Opportunities Action Plan.

Lovely little article in Varsity from a student ambassador at Cambridge; it cannot be understated how much of a difference their time and commitment can make for prospective students.

I've been thinking about this near-constantly since reading yesterday, mainly because despite my Head of Year 9 over a decade ago being obsessed with the concept, repeatedly shouting "Resilience" in assemblies like a Mad Eye/Blair combo, I've still ended up depressed.
