1/10 The long-awaited publication of the EHRC Guidance coincided with another bringing partial resolution connected to it that involves me and UNISON. Just after the SC ruling last April, UNISON held an election for a reserved women’s post and, allowed a (trans-ID) man to run for
@NotGOPfan@0riettaRose ‘How is the number one thing that makes you crash out as an English teacher not the fact that your black students often don’t speak standard English?’ You’re welcome. Former English teacher.

@gwpurnell@babybeginner It’s brilliant but makes me feel sad. Watching them jerking and writhing like a vision of hell while he sings ‘but it won’t last forever…’. Honestly, I think it’s genius.

@basedandbougie As someone who has done a lot of hiring and interviewing, I can tell you the outfits wouldn’t stop me from interviewing them the same as everyone else. If they turn up at all, I’d tend to assume they have no access to/can’t afford/are too young to know appropriate attire.
