Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel. An appropriately festive entry!

Instead of seeing adverts to make me use gambling apps, I'm now seeing adverts that tell me *not* to use gambling apps. But I have to not use *their* app, not not use some other app... 🙄

I'd never thought about joining a political party. I've been massively disappointed with every political interaction I've ever had - I've only ever voted for a winner in the last General. Despite all this, and *gestures at everything* I'm thinking of joining

Just found out there are no inverted commas in The Handmaid's Tale and therefore, sadly, Margaret must receive a grade of WTS.

Hello - I wrote a new blog about the teaching of whole class reading, which I haven't in a while. It's over 9000 words so quite a read, but I hope the comprehensive nature of it comes across as helpful, rather than patronising. Anyway - hope it's useful!
