Two years ago, my mentee was diagnosed with cancer very young. It was sudden and unexpected. She was determined as heck though and filled with grit. Once things settled a little I offered her a project to work on to keep her distracted with NO timeline. 🧵 1/10

Today we celebrate the 148th birthday of Jack London, novelist, activist, and journalist from California, USA. As a prominent socialist, London advocated for workers' rights. His is one of many voices to be preserved in Ruskin’s archive. 🔗archives.uwl.ac.uk. @UniWestLondon

#ARA2023 tie-iseal.co.uk Fabulous engagement with reaching home schooled children and fired up wondering how to reach another audience with powerful well-being potential. Gorgeous use of Argyll estate collection lends fond memories of National Register of Scotland.

I am loving this conservation session at #ARA2023 @ARAconf on What’s the worst that could happen? The laughter and community is exactly what this conference should be about. We’re all in it together. We’ve all been there. 🤐 What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. 🤐
