The UK Supreme Court just took a huge step backward, ruling that "sex" in the Equality Act means "biological sex," not gender identity. This ruling strips away protections for trans people, leaving them vulnerable to even more discrimination. The fight is far from over.

I find it hard enough to function in term time when I have bells telling me what to do. School holidays are a complete free for all where I’m trying to stay afloat - I’m doing ok at the moment l think. #edusky

Today we had INSET (for other Gen X’ers - Baker Days). Thanks to my neurospicy brain most people understand that I’m listening even if it looks like I’m not. My doodle brain kicks in. We also had Wilfred,The Traitors, come and tell us how much a kind teacher can make a difference. That was nice.

The past couple of weeks at work have been hell. I can’t go into it on here let’s just say teaching isn’t fun right now; or safe. However my Year 7s cheered me up in their PSHE ‘anonymous questions’ part of the lesson #edusky

After the week we’ve had at my school so far it’s really not surprising

submitted 44 days ago • 0 comments

I’ve nearly finished a bottle of wine because I’m unable to respond to the people in the community who are spreading false information about the school I have dedicated my heart and soul to. It was scary - yes. But it was not what they say it was. I’m sick to my stomach right now.

Thanks to the Behind the Bastards Versailles episode, my commute entailed the unexpected sight of Charles II of Spain's shriveled black testicle at the ungodly hour of 6 AM. Thanks @iwriteok.bsky.social @coolzonemedia.bsky.social
