@DavidBartram_ No 8 surely. 🙌

@Amyjb87 @HistoryAcademy2 @adamboxer1 The issue here is that it's considered embarrassing to talk about menstruation. Students shouldn't feel uncomfortable going to a teacher/ pastoral staff member to organise a temporary pass. The more we talk openly about this the easier it gets for kids to do the same.

@CarlBovisNature Great photo 😍
I see you

[Carrie @Amia_Cat]

@AndySaxon78 Good to know it wasn't actually #Faversham residents putting graffiti on our roads and raising flags in inappropriate places. Do what you wish within the boundaries of your own property but please leave our public spaces alone.

[Carrie @Amia_Cat]

@neiljettel3 But why have the lions got Union flags poking out of their rectums? That's animal cruelty not patriotism. I'm pretty sure this isn't included in approved flag flying protocol 😬

[Carrie @Amia_Cat]

This is Quill. He popped by for some blackberries & a drink 🦔

[Carrie @Amia_Cat]

@Wiggi791 @adamboxer1 Is this tongue in cheek? I genuinely can't tell.
If not, please share this proper real research you speak of! 👀

[Carrie @Amia_Cat]

@adamboxer1 This was the lab above mine today. But it's ok because the resident biologist is allowed to leave his tie at home on Mon & Tues 😁

[Carrie @Amia_Cat]

@adamboxer1 @rustbeltjacobin I really want to attend this but have a meeting. Will you be doing more mwb sessions soonish?
If not, can I book a ticket and then request a recording? 🥹

[Carrie @Amia_Cat]

@TheKentAcorn Snap!
The bluebells of Wonky Wood send their dainty nods to you and their cousins 👋

[Carrie @Amia_Cat]

No #tinyplants for #wildflowerhour but beautiful blossoms of #WonkyWood all the same.
Red champion and green alkanet, with apple blossom and cowslips about to burst into bloom @wildflower_hour

[Carrie @Amia_Cat]

Definitely my best ever marking spot.
2 more sets of physics mocks to go 💪

@DeputyGrocott Hi 👋
Can just about hear you amidst all the temu ads and doom 🫣

[Carrie @Amia_Cat]

@Natures_Voice They've been collecting threads from my door mat too.
Beautiful bird btw (complimenting as instructed). I'm delighted to hear it's been moss gathering on twitter (surely birds also refuse to call it "X"?) Hard to replicate such a silly sound with a beak anyway!

[Carrie @Amia_Cat]

@tobycarvery ... the alternative timeline where you didn't fell the ancient oak and decided to serve high quality foods.

[Carrie @Amia_Cat]

@tobycarvery you absolute Muppets for felling this ancient oak. If you'd used any decent arboriculture company they would never have done this. The company who carried out the work need their license revoked and you need a hefty fine. https://t.co/HzlXALQdws

[Carrie @Amia_Cat]

@dave43law Only 95%? I think you're being quite cautious there.
It makes me sad that men like Joel will likely remain lonely and clueless because they've been fed ridiculously unrealistic ideologies about women.

Freedom for the first batch of fostered froglets.
Back to Wonky Wood where their spawn was laid.
Some were reluctant to explore but others hopped off into the grass immediately.

[Carrie @Amia_Cat]

Today's mission is to capture around 20 tiny froglets so they can return to their original woodland home.
They have remarkable hop'ping' power so I'm not expecting this to be an easy task...
