Back to work tomorrow after a nice little sabbatical. Approaching things in moderation led to:

- Running 190km
- shaving 25 secs/km off Frankie’s 5km time
- quality time with the fur-babies
- moving house
- writing 29 548 words towards my thesis

Increments add up…

#AGESchools
At The Age Schools Summit and have noticed the lack of specialist education representation on panels. Please include us in 2025- we are the educators and representatives of around 44% of students with disabilities in Victorian Government Schools.

[Charlotte Peverett (she/her) 💉💉🦠 💉💉🦠💉 @lifeoflottie]

Especially important for our students with disabilities to get this happening in ALL schools!!

Feels like Christmas morning 🎄

Let’s Go Victoria!!

For all the advocates that have been fighting for change- We crossed the line and now the work begins!!! 💪🏽👊🏽🤜🏽🤛🏽

My sister, thinking I provide editing feedback & mocking me: “Wrong voice, you need to change it from passive to aggressive!”

Easter Sunday, 2024. Two years on. I believe it’s the same man: re-approaches me and tells me my dogs won’t protect me and I should have got German Shepherds.

[Caitlin Stephenson @Cfstep]

Walking my dogs across a popular oval.

Man approaches me and informs me that if I don’t want to “get murdered” I should buy a Rottweiler, a Pitbull, or a gun.

Tells me my dogs (toy poodles) aren’t going to protect me and “as a woman” I should “want to live”

Fantastic keynote from @TheDrPT to open Day1 of the @DyslexiaSPELD conference: “For our kids, we can do better than pretty sure”
