Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend.

@SportsDirect_CS Hey! I ordered my "usual size" in an Adidas product which is US 6 1/5, which translates to a UK 5 or 38. However, on receiving the shoe they are tiny and the box says US 5 1/2 - a whole size smaller? I believe the item is therefore labelled incorrectly & faulty

@BBCBreakfast Thea Stein made a very good point which got trampled by Charlie who wasn't listening - schools DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FUNDING to provide the support needed and that we desperately want to give to families.

So the bad news is I got hit by a car on Monday but the good news is I'm at home to listen to #TTPD @taylorswift13 so yeah every cloud has a sepia-toned lining.

@LloydsBank Hi, is there an email to inquire regarding past car finance and commission? It just says use virtual assistant but there isn't an option for this query

@michaelastracha Hey! A question about bumblebees and hoping you could point us in the direction of help...we have a queen hanging around in our garden. Should we provide a home for her or is she just hoping for food? ♥️🐝

@SundayBrunchC4 went to Empire State Building in May. In the museum they had a Blackberry phone - the exact model I had in 2009. Felt very old and lame...

Okay but why is @BBCSpringwatch so depressing this year
This was the only pure thing in this trashcan fire of a world

The @NEUnion has urged members to reject an "insulting" government offer of a one-off £1000 payment this year followed by an average 4.5% rise next year. https://t.co/Li90hpzIQf

🧵We've just met with tens of thousands of members in England on Zoom about a pay offer from the Government.

We are beginning a consultation but are recommending our members REJECT this offer.

It’s just not good enough.

Hey @Crufts what kind of hound is this 🤔 #crufts2023 (Don't tell Luna we shared this, she will be mortified)

If your partner or spouse is a teacher they probably answer 2,000+ questions every school day.

So try to avoid asking them questions the minute they get home, especially questions like, “So what’s for dinner?”

[Emma 🌿 @empostle]

@DavidUrwinVFX @Strickomaster One example is not enough evidence of the whole. Perhaps that one school didn't do things well; at our school our students do understand. Remember a limited experience is not indicative of everyone's experience!

[Emma 🌿 @empostle]

@tombennett71 Maybe teachers need to take over and just flood it with videos of students being genuinely wonderful and kind to people, working hard and celebrating their achievements

@Paris2024 salut, pour les Olympics J'aurai besoin d'un billet pour un bébé de moins de 1 ans? Merci

[Emma 🌿 @empostle]

Just binged @FictionComplete Lockwood&Co. Partly to stay ~down with the kids~ but also partly because it's just really good? Like where do I get me a sassy talking skull to give me (terrible) advice? Will one turn up in HomeSense?

This is insane. The idea that the pressure to prepare for an external inspection is so great that you don't strike shows why the stroke was needed.

[Schools Week @SchoolsWeek]

🔍 Thirty teachers were given 'exemptions' by their union to cross the picket line yesterday so they could prepare for an Ofsted inspection

❕ Department for Education staff criticised real-terms pay cuts, with one claiming 'morale is at an all-time low', as they joined teachers in the biggest strike for a decade today
