If we could train this model on a national sample of English GCSE mock papers, the sanity of English teachers across the country may actually be spared this time of year.

I worked as a state school teacher for 10 years, spent loads of money in local businesses, paid my taxes, looked after my health so rarely used the NHS, was educated in Canada so the UK never paid for my schooling. Most immigrants are similar, but it’s rare to see this description.

Terra Glowach @terraglowach.bsky.social · 04/10/2025

It’s not just that citizenship is expensive, it’s that IRL on its own was enough of a gouge at about £2k for commonwealth immigrants like me, and the HO makes up to 800% profit on visa / citizenship applications - many from the most vulnerable AND tax paying people here.

Every year, billions of vehicles worldwide shed an estimated 6 million tonnes of tire fragments. These tiny flakes of plastic, generated by normal driving, account for 28% of microplastics entering the environment globally. Heavy vehicles eg SUVs/EVs especially. Via @us.theconversation.com

Car tyres shed a quarter of all microplastics in the environment – urgent action is needed

Tiny flakes of plastic, generated by the wear and tear of normal driving, eventually accumulate in the soil, in rivers and lakes, and even in our food.

So this is pretty awesome! Super funny and really delves into the tricky masculinity stuff that teenage boys have to navigate at school. Required reading for boys and teachers I reckon.

Yep, my female Muslim students regularly had men shouting racist and sexually violent stuff at them as they walked to and from school. Always white men in cars (so they could speed away, without consequence). Consistent from 7/7 to 2020, no doubt still going strong.

In the Guardian today: “Nearly a quarter of GCSE maths and English entries are resits. This is an all-time high,” said Duffy. “Less than a fifth of resitting students achieved the grade 4 they need to break out of the resit cycle.” This policy is not removing barriers, it’s reinforcing them.

Meanwhile cycling + public transport could drastically improve health and wellbeing of people and their environment but it’s clear that train companies will continue to treat them with contempt without gov’t intervention. 3/3

His bike was in a luggage compartment and completely out of the way, and he was only going one more stop. The train had only 3 spaces on a major route, meaning most people could never consider using their bike. The message is clear: cyclists are viewed and treated publicly as a problem. 2/3

How train companies ensure cycling in the UK is impossible for commuters: @crosscountryuk.bsky.social refused a small crowd of cyclists from boarding my train today and unnecessarily removed the bike of a man travelling to work, delaying the service, and wasting the time of police. 1/3
