@npub1hur…w2sm She's playing 8 nights at Wembley to 92,000 people each time - those kind of numbers are astonishing!

We were so far from the stage and it was still incredible. I can't ever remember being in such a positive, joyous, female crowd where I felt so happy and so safe. She has so (too) many critics, but the legacy she has built can't be denied. And I got London Boy in full. #LondonBoy #TaylorSwift #Wembley #Music #ErasTour

Teaching can be a tough, joyless job sometimes, but on other days you get a Yr 8 student who reimagines Much Ado by having Disney-style talking cows for characters and calling it "Much A-Moo About Nothing" and you literally cry with laughter #MuchAMoo #Cows #Shakespeare #Education #Teaching #EduGlow @npub18x5…z5lv

One of the things you learn pretty quickly in teaching is that *everyone* loves stickers. Even Year 11s. Even teachers. Bought these amazing (completely un-subject related) ones from Etsy and I love them so much - can't wait to use them. #Cheese #Stickers #Etsy #teaching #Edutooter #BeingBethanyRosePlans #BBRPlans @npub18x5…z5lv

New low? New high? I've just found myself enthusing to a stranger online about the joys of celeriac. I very rarely find a fellow celeriac enthusiast and so I might have got a bit overexcited #Celeriac #CeleriacLover #CeleriacEnthusiast (hashtags that may never have been used before, in the history of the world)

Happy Christmas to all you lovely, lovely people, if you celebrate. Hope you are around people you care about and have sufficient goodies and delights. And if you aren't and haven't - I understand and it will pass. It will pass. 🥰💝

@npub1c57…awu5 The canteen at school has terrible, terrible food but I am too lazy and disorganized to bring my own. My lovely colleague made me a beautiful condiment box, all sectioned up, full of everything from salt, pepper, soy, ketchup, chilli flakes, mayo etc. to make any lunch more tolerable. It was the sweetest and most thoughtful gesture!

I try to be very positive and cheerful about my profession: teaching. It's a fluffing tough job and you have to see the best in it - every lesson, every day, every student. And it can be the most rewarding and important job a person could do. But, my goodness, today was a challenge. When your leaders don't seem to care about their staff and are actively making it more difficult for you, you just get worn down. But. Tomorrow is a new day. Always. #Teaching #Education #edutooter @npub18x5…z5lv

@npub1j8m…v5r7 I can't imagine what you are going through. Anything I say is profoundly inadequate. I will say your jewellery is beautiful and I've bookmarked your site for payday. Please take care of yourself as best you can x

At the beginning of the school year and while I am yet to drown in marking, managed to read a whole book this weekend that one of my new Year 9s proffered into my hands last week - The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino - which I gather loads of people already know about, but had completely passed me by. Gripping, really interestingly structured, and a fantastic crime thriller. I'm so happy I'll be able to discuss it with that student next week! #Books #bookstodon #AmReading #CrimeFiction

@npub1fpr…lyph Hello! Thank you - I think it's worked. I seem to have to manually refollow people though - which is taking some time! I thought I'd completely lost my account at the weekend though - so I'll count my blessings!

Hello - just a very quick #Introduction (or reintroduction) as I figure out how to move instances. I gave up the bird last November in one of the migrations and haven't looked back since. I genuinely prefer this calmer, more nuanced, more enjoyable type of social media. I am a Secondary school English teacher in the UK. Keen to connect with #Education people, #Teachers #EduTooter and the like, but I also love #Food #Wine #Cheese #TaylorSwift and #WhiteTailedEagles
