High tide, Hove.

I got my QTS certificate from the DofE today and am officially a qualified teacher! Best decision I ever made. I could never have imagined loving a job this much, even if I had also not imagined hearing the term “swear down miss” nine billion times a day either.

Brighton and Brighton-adjacent pals and spiritual Brightonians, I’m doing a Brighton launch with my beloved @citybookshove.bsky.social I’ll be talking with one of my fave people. Hope to see you there ❤️ ropetacklecentre.co.uk/events/city-...

I am sending love to my trans friends. Always xxx

The reviews have started to come in for The Diverse Curriculum and I’m so excited that I want to give a copy away to one lovely person/school! If you’d like a copy, repost, follow and introduce yourself. I will draw names out of a hat in one week precisely!

Back to school for me tomorrow. *packs social media carefully into box full of straw* Here, have a poem to last you til spring locuscommunis.blog/2024/06/18/t...

Hello. I don’t post much anywhere these days because I am currently working in a totally phone free environment. But I’m loving seeing so many people turn up/follow and am quietly reading lots in return 🤗

I’ve never watched Doctor Who but I know my 6yo will love it and is interested - but where to start?! It’s like trying to get into the Archers!

Does anyone know if there’s a Brighton equivalent of this? It looks so great! manchestermill.co.uk/about

This is sad. I learned a *lot* from jezebel, especially back in the pre Twitter era

I’ve been avoiding social media in a sort of sickly funk because I forgot about here. It’s very calm 🤗

On a bus full of people clearly going to the same Acaster gig as me. It’s like the not-Hogwarts Express
