It’s my birthday today, and I’m a little salty that a certain J Rees Mogg arrived two years after me and claimed it for his birthday too. I’m celebrating by encouraging people to make small acts of righteous rebellion - sign a petition, write to your MP, make a donation. It’s what he wouldn’t want.

Instead of "keeping men out of women's spaces" the transphobes have given men a pretense to barge into a restroom and demand to see women's genitals
I really don't have any words about this story. It's just so deeply upsetting. Fuck the women who decided to police the bathroom and fuck the guard for doing this.
Woman says Boston hotel security guard confronted her in bathroom, asked her to prove gender
A Boston couple said they were in a women's hotel bathroom when a male security guard came in and started banging on the stall doors.

Idea for Y12 induction: Cheating 101. Covering such basics as “If you are going to cheat on your maths test by getting the questions from friends, do not work through those questions in your maths lesson before the test as your teacher will recognise them.”

Academy schools are no better at raising attainment than the schools they replaced.

If (as looks vaguely possible - I know, I know, I need to discuss it with my GP) I need to go on a low phosphate diet, that means chocolate no more than once a week. So if I start nibbling a huge block on Monday morning, and keep going with it until Sunday evening, that counts as once? Right?

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.
Repost if you agree
P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Repeat after me "6th form colleges do not set their own pay award"
*6th form colleges do not set their own pay award*
Remember the SFCA? The SFCA do. And they need reassurance about funding.
It's honestly that simple.

Inspired by #GoodLunch to have something more interesting than our usual cheese and some salad. Made savoury waffles with sautéd mushrooms instead.

I'll share this again on the 28th.
37 colleges are going on strike because they are not getting funding and pay rise like *everyone else*
I'm told 6FC get an average of 22% less per student compared to schools!

I’d done an intro to Simplex, then my class had a lesson on it that they had to do independently as I was off sick. Today they were all in different places, so I gave them some options and set them to work together on the big whiteboards, while I wandered round troubleshooting. #MathsToday
