Education is everything. Dogs are the best.
UPDATE: Good old subversive Mister Urdd was wearing a pride flag hat for the jambori. The 230,000 children taking part heard the presenters point out that the #Urdd supports #LGBT.
Long-time tooters have been explaining that it's polite to use #ContentWarnings when posting about stress-inducing politics, and I have done so; I often check social media late at night when I really just want to unwind, so I get where they're coming from.
My question is: should we do the same with posts about OFSTED and other teaching gripes? Just saw a post about inspections/pointless paperwork, and I'd rather be here to gain inspiration than dwell on that. #EduTooter #EduToot

One of my hopes for social spaces like this is that we engage in meaningful conversations with each other --- that this become a place for thinking together.

Twitter lost that and became primarily a space for simple sharing only.

What steps should we take early on to ensure that the norms for #Edutooter nation become something more than simple sharing?

(Or is that something we should even try to control?)

I used to #follow lots of #celebrities on other #SocialMedia but when I arrived here, I just started following people with similar interests to me, and I realised that it is a much more satisfying and relaxing experience.
I used to laugh a lot at #parody accounts too, but I just saw one that had been boosted by someone I follow, and I felt compelled to block it immediately. I doesn't appeal to me to try to duplicate previous experiences here.

Hello Mastodon. I’m Luke, an aging Welsh millennial who is more stressed about learning a new platform than is reasonable.

I work at Citizens Advice Cymru, so will have a mix of work and personal stuff on here. Expect unapologetic 🏳️‍🌈 vibes and 🏳️‍⚧️ allyship. Occasional election geekery too.

#introduction2… Also interested in #music #choirs #bookclubs #humour - and #cats of course. Passionate about the importance of breaking cycles of deprivation, neglect, exploitation and offending by enabling ways out for young people, and in awe of those who dedicate their lives to doing that.
Made it to Mastodon. Give me a follow for all things #Scottish #Education, #antiracism, #globalcitizenship #equalities.
We will be celebrating the start of the World Cup in the school I teach at by joining in the Urdd jambori. I will be singing my heart out of course, but inside I am very uneasy about promoting an event being hosted by a state that would imprison or execute me because of my sexual orientation. I intend to teach a discussion lesson about #HumanRights in Qatar next week, but researching and planning it is aggravating me!
