Geraldine in real life, teaching languages in the North West. Education, bit of politics, some tennis, occasional pictures of my dog and worries about my kids, random stuff I think is funny. Full time for the first time since 2005.

Yr 13 student applying to university to study Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic. Anyone out there with sufficient expertise in this field who might be willing to do a mock interview to help them prepare in exchange for the handsome reward of my eternal gratitude?

Photographer Kathrin Swoboda captured amazing images of a red wing blackbird's song, visible via the bird's breath in cold air and early light #WomensArt

The irony is rich.
Screenshot of a tweet by Melanie D’Arrigo on X.com that reads: “It’s literally the whole reason why we celebrate Thanksgiving.” Beneath it is a Homeland Security tweet saying: “This Thanksgiving, there is no room at the table for invaders.”

Make Racism Disgraceful Again 💯
