But, this reminder is key:
When engaging in my other pursuits, '[I' m] not part of the body of a school, not truly under its skin'.
When I am 'under its skin', I know that's when I have true impact.
This blog helps me to remember that. Thank you @clairestoneman.bsky.social.

One of my favour bloggers, and this is a cracking one @clairestoneman.bsky.social.
As someone who has attempted to be a voice at the table: spoken at conferences, written a book, whilst working in a school full time, it's hard. And frankly, I can't do it all, anymore. My voice is quieter.

I wouldn't normally post something like this, but I suppose it makes it more real for me. I share lots online, so it makes sense to share this. It might feel disingenuous not to.
