I get this in my work inbox and it is like a box of choccies - never know what I'm going to get but it is such a great reprieve from the rest.

I share it with the teen mums I work with and they feel less alone too.

I teach English/Literacy and believe deep in my boots in the importance of writing that goes beyond a meme or soundbite. Keep those ripples going. There are enough pebbles hitting the pond what we need are more bombs!
