I finished Middlemarch today. What a magnificent achievement; the final words are a peerlessly wise & humane philosophy of life. I’ve never seen the much-lauded 1990s BBC adaptation, which is on iPlayer. Grateful for advice on whether I should watch it.

adolescence on netflix has convinced me that children should not legally be allowed smartphones and that one day we’ll look back on the fact that we allowed it and be really ashamed 😭

“School is not meant to reflect back a child’s existing world. It is meant to offer new worlds. It is meant to take the child by the hand and lead them to places they never knew existed, places beyond their postcode, places they have every right to belong.” Spot on. 👏
