Last night, I spent some time arguing with MAGA folk on X. This morning I’m left with the impression, more than ever, that they don’t actually know what freedom of speech is.

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, β€œWe can’t just ignore the President’s desires.” ??????? Sounds a bit like, β€œNapoleon 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?

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

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.

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 β€œX” πŸ™„πŸ˜”

Boxing Day trip to the cinema to see β€œConclave”
WOW! Very intense, amazing cast, hidden world. Surprising twist at the end, which actually made total sense. Highly recommend. A very grown up film πŸ˜„

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 πŸ˜”

UPDATE on β€œthe 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)😑

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 πŸ˜„
