I’m so sick of these stories.
I’m exhausted, enraged & frustrated.
Misogyny in medicine kills. The patriarchy kills. The health gap kills.
We all have these stories. Some of us are lucky enough to survive, but many aren’t.
Tell your stories. Keep screaming until this never happens again:
Modified AQA past papers to fit what's been published for 2026. I am not linked to AQA - not official, just my interpretation.
Only June - Nov to follow - will go in same folder!
Hope it saves some time - all and any feedback welcome!

Each of ours has a Chromebook. We can use them as little or as much as we want in class. I barely use in lessons but it's absolutely fabulous for home and independent learning! I can upload a pic of my modelling book, annotations, extra reading, more practice etc.
Cancer changes you forever. Even if you’re lucky enough, like me, to have the type of cancer that can be cured. Your body is not the same. Life is not the same. It can feel very isolating when friends and family don’t understand this.

I was honoured to deliver a speech today at the International Roma Day celebrations in Glasgow, to listen to everyone’s amazing speeches & match with the community. A million thanks to Romano Lav for the amazing work! Opre Roma
speaking in non-dominant patterns and using non-standard grammar has nothing empirically to do with ‘bad behaviour’ but it has lots to do with it ideologically

am giving a talk at Goldsmith's on the 21 May on collaborating with teachers to design futures of linguistic justice in schools, it'll be fun and it's free 💜

I hope you have someone who can be there alongside you through these difficult times. I hope that if help is available, you are strong enough to ask for it and accept it.

this is the story of how the so-called word gap came to be embedded in England's education policy, and how it (re)normalised discourses of linguistic deficiency which framed the acquisition of 'more words' and 'better words' as a social justice tool www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Bridget in Bruegel's Hunters In The Snow (with a freshly caught mouse).
The Cat With The Pearl Earring.
A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.
My teacher bestie is leaving. Not just our school, but education. She is one of the best, inspirational, creative teachers I know. A sad day for all the children she could have taught. Hopefully everything she is hoping for will materialise. This could have been prevented.
Look after your staff!

Had quite a few people ask for my @LitdriveUK PowerPoint. #LitdriveCPD25
Here it is: dropbox.com/scl/fi/j10pbmn…
Probably will make very little sense without my commentary so will blog about it at a later date. Got 60 English Lit Paper 2s to mark by Friday.
I didn’t post anything yesterday as I was rushed off my feet but in the best way! The Litdrive conference was incredible and I’m SO thankful to everyone who made it happen. Now for a day of doing nothing at all 😴🙏🏻 #LitdriveCPD25 @litdrive.bsky.social

There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self-interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead. No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience. Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul.
One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.
All set for tomorrow. Looking forward to #LitdriveCPD25

Love it and completely agree!
‘Arts & Humanities researchers …find themselves increasingly having to produce outputs in their own time…Such circumstances make it feel odd to decouple Arts & Humanities researchers from their outputs…egregious when that decoupling means those outputs cannot move with the researchers who made them’
Woop 🔥🔥
‘there is now a worry that REF2029 will enable a different injustice: that institutions can hold onto the outputs of staff they have sacked, while making it harder for them to gain new academic employment because they are no longer linked to the work they created.’
This must be changed.
