Pack it up, pack it in; let me begin. Former teacher/school leader/SENDCo currently exploring Schrödinger’s retirement. Books. Cryptic Crosswords. Football.
@rlrossi64.bsky.social@rlrossi64.bsky.socialOver on Instagram, the thing seems to be styling your home “intentionally”; having a “reset” rather than tidying up and having a POV which isn’t a fucking point of view at all.

@guineverecryptic.bsky.socialReposted by @rlrossi64.bsky.socialAnyone not there in person, here is the link to watch the Times Crossword Championship Semi-final and Final - live with commentary!
If you are going, I look forward to seeing you! (I’ll be spectating as a setter if that wasn’t obvious 😂 I’m way too slow a solver!)
@annmemmott.bsky.socialReposted by @rlrossi64.bsky.socialwww.gov.uk/government/p... The new report from Prof. Fonagy, on autism, ADHD and mental health. He's clear that people are not just making it up/not being resilient/only having 'mild' versions compared to the past, etc.
