Activists are ‘agents of change’. You don’t have to hold a placard to be an activist. We can all be activists in our everyday lives & in our workplaces. Enlighten someone with a different perspective, challenge discrimination & be an ally to anybody who is different to you ✌🏻🏳️‍🌈

Blessed be the fruit 🙏🏼

The activist in me needs to strike, the data-driven, control nerd in me can’t- a catch 22 situation the anxious side of my brain can’t beat. This cohort has been through the ringer: covid, no exams, TAGS. I’m w you, either in or out- whatever side of the picket line, I see you 💙

@DrAdamBrett Happy Birthday! 🎈🎁 you must sleep in some sort of hyperbolic time chamber as opposed to me! 🧟‍♂️

[AdBPhD🏳️‍🌈 @AdBPhD1]

@DrAdamBrett @AcademicChatter @PhDVoice Amazing! Well done Adam! I’m looking forward to having a read!🤓

[AdBPhD🏳️‍🌈 @AdBPhD1]

If you or anybody you know delivers LGBTQ+ training to schools and colleges and wants to share your experiences with me, get in touch! Pls RT 🏳️‍🌈 #LGBTActivism #LGBTEducation #LGBTQIAispowerful

So for #BiologyWeek I constructed a motor neurone (don’t judge!). My students & colleagues made a range of masterpieces from #Darwin & his Tree of Life sketch to a Bowman’s capsule and a cell in mitosis! #Biologybakes #BakeOff #Biology

@MissSDoherty Sharing personal successes and failures. We are only human after all and if they see that in us, they can empathise and strive for their own unique journey!🙌🏻

Wow, what can I say. I fee absolutely overcome with emotion😭 Today I married my partner of 12 years . I’m honoured as a gay man in the UK to exercise my right to marry the person I love & I’m humbled & saddened for those in this world who don’t hold the same privilege as I do 🏳️‍🌈

🙌🏻We should celebrate people based on their achievements not on societal labels. How else do we expect to achieve a normative society? Usualise successes🙌🏻��#STEM #LGBTQ #COVID19

@samfrowe Django, my Ragdoll wearing a scarf never fails to cheer me up! 😹

[AdBPhD🏳️‍🌈 @AdBPhD1]

It was an absolute pleasure to be part of this series on LGBTQ+ individuals in education. It has been refreshing, motivating and inspiring to hear the stories of these incredible activists in action and I can’t wait to hear more 🙌🏻🏳️‍🌈

[AdBPhD🏳️‍🌈 @AdBPhD1]

🙌🏻🙌🏻all these inspirational LGBTQ+ educators! 🏳️‍🌈

[AdBPhD🏳️‍🌈 @AdBPhD1]

@adamcbrett @JamieBGall Omg I need this! 😍🧬🏳️‍🌈

[AdBPhD🏳️‍🌈 @AdBPhD1]

@LGBTedUK Having existing, strong LGBTQ+ staff and allies who are fighting the corner of LGBTQ+ staff & students already. For new staff this may seem a daunting thought without existing support, but even in schools without these structures, know that supportive organisations are there🙌🏻

[AdBPhD🏳️‍🌈 @AdBPhD1]

@LGBTedUK Integrating stories, whether they are ur own, or of LGBTQ+ individuals who have come before us; for their life achievements (rather than shoehorning them) into ur lessons. This usualises LGBTQ+ people as those w lives, jobs & as society members🏳️‍🌈

[AdBPhD🏳️‍🌈 @AdBPhD1]

@NBentleyTweets @LGBTedUK I 2nd this 🙌🏻being true to yourself in the classroom is empowering to both you & your students. For you as a practitioner, you can be free. & for your students who identify as LGBTQ+ themselves or those who have family members who are, feel ‘represented’ 🏳️‍🌈

[AdBPhD🏳️‍🌈 @AdBPhD1]

I am looking for participants for my PhD research regarding LGBT+ activists who provide training to educators in schools, colleges, universities. If you're interested, please see the banner for details! Pls RT. Adam @LGBTedUK @LGBTfdn @activist_just #Education #PHDresearch

In my ever-ongoing quest to become an adult, I decided I needed to provide my dinner guests with serviettes other than the Christmas -themed ones that I normally use throughout the year. What better ones than these rainbow ones! #rainbowflag #Pride2021 #adulting

@missemmajordan The weird sound in the background is my Ragdoll Django announcing his arrival in the room as he had just woken from slumber 😹

[AdBPhD🏳️‍🌈 @AdBPhD1]

I’ve had a Twitter hiatus; as juggling remote teaching alongside my PhD got the better of me. But the normality of returning to my lovely students in person has done wonders for my soul. I’m taking a moment to appreciate the small things, like my five year old axolotl, Darwin🧬
