Hi everyone. Here's a short gay-themed thread. I'm reading Rebecca Makkai's novel The Great Believers, much of which is about gay men in Chicago in the years of the AIDS crisis. Here's a description of what it felt like being around straight people back then:

@HuntingEnglish @debrakidd @alicehbloom Tbh when you challenge people (especially teachers?) on the grounds of their outrageous language they tend not to recognise the shit they're spreading.

Nothing has changed since the 19the century? What an embarrassment

Amazing talk on 'why we teach' by @bennewmark. Summed up in his use of Matthew Arnold's idea that the purpose of education is for young people to know "the best that has been thought and said in the world". #rEDrugby

what the fuck is wrong with you all

Aye ok I might be a bit of a bore but I’ve NEVER EVER ever taken any illegal drugs.

Nor am I concerned about the privileged Tory elite who perhaps have.

My concern is the impact drugs are having on every single community in the UK.

@UKLabour will tackle this issue head on.

@SMCoulombeau Iceland's vegan range is exceptional and I believe they do meatballs.

@MareileP My sense so far is that it is a considerable personal achievement with an uncompromising vision of an "audience to come" - the book's completion is worth celebration, and its reception will be stimulating and important.

@NuPopulism I feel like I've been rickrolled by clicking on that

@lindsayjskinner @mr_englishteach @tes That’s interesting. You’re not alone. At EMC we all looked up anadiplosis when I was writing my blog. By the next day no-one could remember it. I sometimes ask a room full of teachers, or colleagues in academia, about some of these terms & they’re equally blank! Says something?

Can't believe I forgot about this! But so glad it's happening here in Manchester!

@MrHW_Eng @Team_English1 @ITTteamenglish I once gave a speech in the voice of TJ (for coursework or something?) about why he stole that pearl-handled pistol, not sure I learnt anything from it tho

@MrHW_Eng @Team_English1 @ITTteamenglish Now there's a title I haven't heard in a while! I'm afraid my GCSE exam copy with an infinity of post-its round the edges is long gone, but I'm sure others can provide
