Em teaches English

Oooh! Sounds great! I’ll investigate. Thanks 😄

I’m currently having an argument on Twitter with a guy who claimed that a salary of 200k is ‘not a lot of money’ 🙄

Looking at Syracuse. Teen might be happy with just a good pool 😄

Ok. I’ve finally saved enough £ to go on first holiday since pre-covid. White Lotus obsessed teen wants to go to Sicily. Any advice? I want a pretty old town, she wants beach, boutique shops and a pool 🤣 Help!

I need to stage an intervention with myself and shut down my Twitter account. I’m just rubbernecking at a car crash on there. It’s so vile 😬

Hi lovely #EduSky. Do any of you teach The Hunger Games at KS3 and could point me in the direction of some good resources, before I start from scratch… 🫶🏻

Did JD just say, “We can’t just ignore the President’s desires.” ??????? Sounds a bit like, “Napoleon is always right” with an extra helping of creepy 🤯

#EduSky & AQA examiners…
I have a tutee who wants to revise metrical variants in R&J as she thinks it’ll help her to get a G9 at GCSE. A) help me 😬 and B) does she need this?

On episode 2, and now discovering why they were called the Peaky Blinders…

I need a new thing. Three biggies I’ve never watched, so should I
A) watch Peaky Blinders
B) watch Breaking Bad
C) watch Ozark

Exactly. Where’s James Bond when we need him?

What do you do when your freeholder drops a £2000 bill on you that you can’t pay? Ground rent (£250) “management fee” £1500 + a few other bits. No “management” has taken place. 3 flats in a conversion. Any experts I can DM?

One of mine does this. She won’t sit on my lap but she sits behind me on the sofa and puts her paw on my shoulder 🐈🐈‍⬛❤️

Erm… Elon the Terrible did a Nazi salute.

Meanwhile, over on X - Americans, having downloaded the Chinese version of TikTok, are going out of their minds at what other countries have that they don’t. For too long they have only looked inwards, believing that they live in the greatest country on Earth.

‘We stand by Jess’: Telford survivors criticise Musk’s attack on Phillips Exclusive: Victims of male violence sign letter praising minister for devoting life to ‘fighting for women and girls’

Re-post if you stand by Jess.

Twitter update: Tate and his minions threatening a CSA survivor. Trump threatening to invade Greenland. Elon calling UK politicians names and generally being batshit crazy. Just a normal Tuesday on “X” 🙄😔

Boxing Day trip to the cinema to see “Conclave”
WOW! Very intense, amazing cast, hidden world. Surprising twist at the end, which actually made total sense. Highly recommend. A very grown up film 😄

We did the Home Alone double last night. I forgot that Trump was in 2. But hey, I didn’t let him ruin the fun…😄

Best gift ever!!! Cats + books 🐈🐈‍⬛🫶🏻 Have a brilliant day EduSky 😄

My mum’s new (ish) care home took her and her friends to meet some Alpacas! She loved it, so I bought her some Alpaca socks for Christmas. The sad irony is that she won’t remember the trip. Dementia sucks 😔

UPDATE on “the bad place” - right wing buffoons are currently abusing a lovely PhD student for passing her viva. Literature is apparently irrelevant nonsense. Vile comments she has had to report to the police. Way to go Elon (and your band of idiots)😡

Amazing night at Jo Whitley’s 90s Anthems!! I’ve not danced like that for YEARS! Everything hurts. Joyous 😄🫶🏻

Am LOVING Bad Sisters on Apple TV. Highly recommend 😄

Just in case you’re wondering… currently Twitter is a cesspit of a) bros defending Connor McGregor by being disgustingly misogynistic, and b) some American anti-trans psycho called Nancy being predictably vile.

I admit it!!! I’m still on Twitter. I can’t seem to prize my eyes away from the car crash across the pond. There’s a new character called Nancy who is insane!

Opened Twitter this morning. Instant regret as I scrolled through one of the most misogynistic threads I’ve ever seen. I’m out. Deleting tonight. Bluer skys are here 😄

I got talked into applying to the GTP programme by a friend at a party 😄 I was 27 and on my latest dull office job in London. I had two degrees but was ordering office stationary. 22 years later and I’m still in the classroom. Still love it 😄

👏👏👏
