Well, it's Creative Writing I teach, rather than English - but yep, guilty as charged...
Strewing wonderful examples and seeing students gobble them up is one of the best parts of a truly *great* job :)

This is bloody appalling. I kind of feel like I am no longer surprised at the shit being proposed yet am still *just about* managing to raise my eyebrows. This is exhausting on a daily basis. Everything I fought, protested, marched and campaigned against (with a degree of success) is back.

'Delulu' :) Spot on - a fabulous drag name. 'Skibidi' has been annoying since the first stupid toilet videos...so I hope that doesn't appear in student work this coming year. Although perhaps I should start calling flash/micro fiction 'snackable fiction' next semester ;)
That was a great read :)
