I love my job. I love my school, it's children, and the community it serves. I fully support the action and am, regretfully, striking myself. This (pretty much) sums up my reasons why. @NEUnion #TeacherStrike #SaveOurSchools

Woken up still shaken by the events portrayed in #Adolescence after binge viewing, last night. Ripped my heart out and stomped all over it. Deserves every award heading it's way.

A lot of people on this platform are seemingly longing to go back to the prosperity we witnessed in this country during the glory years of 2010-2024. Oh yes, what a time to be alive, they truly were.
