@WH0LE9YARDS Well four years after this tweet I’m trying to find a video to show my child of my face on Trunchbull’s body because I know this is where I saw it and it’ll make her giggle… Nothing particularly exciting.
@JeremyVineOn5 They’re privileged enough that two weeks away from school isn’t going to make that much difference to their lives.
Attendance rules are idiotic and take no account whatsoever of children’s needs.
Maybe start asking real questions again instead of this divisive tabloid bullshit?
So I don’t have to type on repeat…
‘Masculinity’ and ‘Femininity’ are *terms* to describe the social and cultural understandings, practices and formations of ‘womanhood’ and ‘’manhood’ What gets loaded on to those terms is a different matter.
@ShanghaiHannah@anne_hegerty@KirstieMAllsopp Let’s take an example from the British military, shall we? No one does banter quite as drastic as the military. You have banter with your colleagues. You don’t have banter with your subordinates.
Power dynamics matter.
@KirstieMAllsopp Precisely.
The UK loves banter.
Let's reclaim the word to mean light hearted small talk rather than "I can say anything creepy, inappropriate, offensive or weird with a laugh at the end and call it banter".
@ThePOTSPostman “Stop trying to get back to work so you feel less of a burden to society and just focus on getting through each day”. Gave me permission to stop beating myself up. Unfortunately that same doctor went and screwed my whole medical history up after that so… 🤷🏼♀️
@BenGoldsmith Not communicating is a parenting crisis? It couldn’t possibly be that some of us communicate in a way that limited system and establishments are too biased to engage with, could it? Of course the parents are at fault. 🙄
The opening line to #JaneAusten’s #PrideandPrejudice has not only become especially relevant to me of late, but is one of the most famous in all of #English#literature. In addition to setting the narrative in motion, how does it alert us to the sentiments and tone of the novel?
