It has been a long long long 7 months but we're now operating at a far more manageable 62k, and all I had to do was rewrite the novel from scratch #writing
Proud to announce that after a long day of editing to get my word count down to something more manageable, my novel, which began the day at 79,694 words, is now at... 83,522 words. #writing

Just had someone tell me that they know more about feminist theory because they've read "Bell Hooks"
1) didn't know it was a competition
2) they spelt bell hooks like that
I'm finding it very easy to disengage from discourse when the other side hasn't even read it

JK Rowling setting up a fund for anyone who wants to create a group that targets trans people is the kind of evil they talk about in Greek myth
Which is a coincidence as she's named it after Athena, on the basis that she protects women. Which... she doesn't.
That's Artemis.

They all got 7-9s.
I opened the lesson with 'okay so who can tell me what chicken jockey is?'
It took 17 minutes and multiple mutes to get them back in line.

Convinced my GCSE (ages 14-16) students that I have absolutely no concept of Gen Alpha slang, and promised them that if they all get at least a grade 7 (B) in their next assessment they can teach me all the slang they want.
Reader, I have never seen them study so hard.

Horrified by the UK Supreme Court ruling yesterday.
As Oscar Wilde said, 'to define is to limit', and I refuse to allow my womanhood to be defined by a court made up of 8 men and 2 women who are invalidating trans women to appease a group of radical extremists funded by JK Rowling and her ilk.

Just found out that my KS4 students have a bingo card for me, which contains items such as 'Miss references someone who died before 1960', 'Miss tells us to watch a musical version of a book' and 'Miss says a love story isn't as problematic as the one in Wuthering Heights'. Is this my brand?

Me: okay mum as we're ordering matt's card to come to the house can you list the recipient as, like, a nickname, so when we see the envelope addressed to an unusual name we know it's matt's card and he doesn't accidentally open it early?
