[Neurodivergent Dr @autisticdoc]

6 yo “when I have babies will they be autistic?”

Me “can’t say for sure. But I’m autistic. You’re autistic. So it’s likely”

6 yo “what will we do if they’re neurotypical?”

Me: “we’ll still love them”

6 yo: “yeah. Nanna’s neurotypical, we love her”

Diverse role models 💛

Today, women retire with £123k less than men. Why is the gender pension gap still this big?

The gender pay gap, caring responsibilities and working patterns all impact women’s retirement savings. More here: https://t.co/KblqdXiWCH

Taught a group of (16!!!) first years today and tell me why I was that terrified of 12/13 year olds😭😭 my first dip into third level/secondary and I was SWEATING 😅😅

[Miss Platt🌈💓 @teachwithMissP_]

Things I’m grateful for today:

The opportunity to learn new things🤍
The warm welcomes from all of the schools in my cluster🤍
Getting to have lunch at my mum and dad’s because my new job is on their doorstep🤍
Coming home to my best friend (and @mrward_tech)🤍

Over the weekend a series of racist comments were directed toward our colleagues and others in the teaching profession. This is unacceptable. 1/4
