Happy Transgender Awareness Week, friends! 🏳️‍⚧️

I am important university man.

I'm 51 now. So this is exactly halfway through my lifespan, right?

I love writing. It fascinates me that this creation came out of me and is now out there. That's pretty wild.

Canada in solidarity: Yes, we do have a king actually, but 'No Authoritarian Dictator' doesn't quite roll off the tongue.

One of my favourite episodes from the ESL Talk podcast, as you can imagine. If you don't know much about #HowToInclusive practices, I recommend this one. I'm pretty clear. 😆 Online: shows.acast.com/6092f46767f0... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/5A1X...

Hey Educators: Have you seen the 20-day #SharedPride LGBTQ+ resources for educators? Check all them out at seburnt.substack.com! I'm ELT, but these can work in pretty much all contexts because they're not about English language specifically.

JEDI (justice equity diversity inclusion) plenaries and keynotes at education events are more important now than ever.
