I’m that woke leftie teacher the Tories warned you about. Get ready for banal life updates and occasional hot takes on education news.

Love that I, a capable woman with a degree, have to take Class Bs (prescribed, obvs) to answer my text messages and get the dishwasher on a clean cycle 🙄🙄

I love this. I was at Harlech Castle today, a year and a bit after being there last year during ✨events✨. The ray of sunshine is entirely appropriate.

We had a kid in our 6th form who spoke in favour of Kilroy-Silk’s policies at debate club and wore an oddly formal suit to school. He was called “UKIP nonce” for 2 years.

I imagine lots of mums have received this card today and been (rightfully) upset, but when it’s your grew-up-in-the-90s, Man U supporting boyfriend says that he chose it because your leadership of the family is on a par with Keaneo’s 1999 Juventus display, I’ll take that for the massive win it is. 🩷

Watching #insidethemanosphere whilst off sick yet again. These men are so close to class consciousness but veered into blaming the women instead. #louistheroux

Interesting, open-minded piece about reading habits and aspirations (despite off-putting headline and pic) www.theguardian.com/books/2026/f...

‘Last year I read 137 books’: could setting targets help you put down your phone and pick up a book?
BookTok influencer Jack Edwards motivates himself with reading goals – and he’s not alone. Authors and avid readers discuss the rise of metrics, and reveal how many books they finished last year

Ugh just seen some wedding pics of strangers on insta and the bride is deliberately not smiling in all of them. The performative nonchalance is so miserable.

The Papa John’s pizza advert on Absolute Radio incites me to violence approximately 26 times a day. I hate it so much but have no rational explanation as to why.

Staff badminton is partially to blame for my latest injury. For something I enjoy so much to be so cursed is a sad thing.

I’m signed off work for two weeks with a spinal issue. I’m an extrovert with no-one to talk to and without my at least 4x daily one-woman show doing crowd work with the difficult audience of adolescents. Might genuinely Teams into a lesson or two just to relieve the boredom.

This is what stresses me out too. I just about managed with the full maintenance loan and working in the holidays. I’m going to have to have thousands stashed away for my son to have a shot at university if that’s what he wants to do.

I’m very pro paying taxes but I’d be lying if I didn’t say I really feel the squeeze and don’t feel substantially better off now than I did when I was paid as an unqualified teacher doing Teach First (*spits*) in 2012.

The boy has got very into Harry Potter over the past week. Watching Goblet of Fire and I reckon Ron would have been ripe for radicalisation into incel culture at any point

Thought I hadn’t been to staff badminton for a year because I was lazy until a colleague reminded me about my tachycardia ✨episode✨ that I’d completely forgotten about. Anyway, we’re so fucking back. 🏸

‘I’m going to go to my nail appointment then come home and rest’ she said about the first day of the holidays. I’ve been for brunch by myself, am now enjoying a coffee and will be popping to the shops before collecting the boy from school. #onmybullshit

Just smashed ~1200 words of a first draft of a book chapter (that’s a month past the deadline 😬) in about an hour and remembered that writing is the thing I’m probably best at and that I should do it more often.

Set aside an hour for pastoral admin this afternoon - the kids all behaved themselves last week so no one to put on report/in detention - got to go and play rounders in their Games session with them for the hour instead! Big up year 9 ❤️

Need to get back in the habit of utilising social media for banal life updates, as advertised in my Bluesky bio. BLU: Making Easter dinner with a 90s garage playlist on the go. Kitchen to myself.Vibes immaculate.

Things I made today: a mad necklace, chickpea and broccoli wraps, tarka daal.
Chickpeas and broccoli in a Pyrex dish on a stove next to a metal pan full of lentils boiling. A colourful necklace made of a number of different styles of bead. The colours are in rainbow order.
