Me and another girl at my bus stop just got completely ignored by the 35 bus which drove off without us despite us standing in front of the doors ready to board, and me frantically waving as it drove away @on_lothianbuses - unimpressed and now late for work!

My all-time favourite @JohnnyFlynnHQ was epic at Queen’s Hall last night. The man is pure talent. I could’ve listened to him sing for another 5 hours easily 🤩

Interview with a teacher who left the profession.

Why did you leave?

“I have a Master’s degree.
I work really hard.
I love teaching kids and am great at my job.
I do it all for a disgracefully low salary.
All of that and I’ve never felt so disrespected by so many.”

Let me be clear this #TransDayofVisibility: I stand with trans and gender diverse Londoners. Around the world, trans people’s rights are under attack, so it’s more important now than ever to stand in solidarity with the trans community and pledge to keep fighting for equality 🏳️‍⚧️

Despite only being at @Cambridge_Uni for a year, I still so strongly identify as part of their community - the Boat Race is just one example that makes me miss it even more! #lightblue

The government should clamp down on vaping right now. Ban all flavoured vapes, ban all marketing, young people are vaping far, far more than they ever smoked. There is an epidemic of nicotine addiction in young people that is being ignored.

@AkamKevin Collect Pringles lids as they fit on the ramekins and they can then be used as teeny tupperwares - sauces/salad dressings, half a lemon etc. Also much more stackable with lids on!

@open_drama_uk @NWOpenDramaUK Are there any other Drama teachers out there who use the Cambridge IGCSE? Would hugely appreciate some networking opportunities!

The extraordinary moment when the great humanitarian & trauma surgeon David Nott met the Queen, shortly after his return from Aleppo.

If this turns out to be her final public picture, it’s an absolutely lovely one

@queenherod8 @Team_English1 @FunkyPedagogy I teach The Outsiders to year 8 and my students absolutely loved it (bottom set reluctant readers)

Not a lot matches the rage I feel when someone takes a minus offer on The Chase

I got laid off yesterday from a job I really liked, for people I really liked. Just a reminder that you’re disposable as soon as they decide you are. Stop working late. Stop reading emails after hours. Stop working on weekends. A job is income to live your life, not your life.

[Olivia @LivSoutter]

There are people on Twitter actually trying to defend this disgusting, childish behaviour. We NEED to stand up and vote him out.

Boris Johnson chuckles and pulls faces as Rishi Sunak talks about people huddling in basements in Ukraine. #springstatement

@TabitaSurge Yes and ‘Tess’ for A Level which is even more harrowing

Can always rely on my Y11 Drama class to boost my self-esteem: last year they told me I look like a young Stevie Nicks, this year apparently I look like Dove Cameron (who I hadn’t heard of 🙈). The pic below is the vibe I strive for at all times when teaching obvs

@abjmxo_ Secret History is AMAZING - a must read. Song of Achilles also awesome but brace yourself for the ending!! X

4 years ago Jeremy Corbyn condemned Russian money interfering in British Politics.

Listen carefully to that moment as MPs shouted “shame” and “disgrace” at Jeremy for daring to try to clean up politics.
