@hikingshawty Must be great now that the sun is setting later for you

today i walked five miles and i had a jacket potato for dinner :)

The real hero of THE ILIAD is Priam, who goes on his knees to kiss the face of the man (Achilles) that killed his son and heir (Hector) in order to win his son’s body back - because THE ILIAD is fundamentally anti the horror of war.

@hikingshawty Swaggy. Do you have a Yorkshire accent? I feel like this would blow people’s minds.

today i walked three miles and i had a jacket potato with chilli for dinner - happy guy fawkes night!!!!! 💫

“They were careless people, they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

There’s daggers in men’s smiles

thought i was being followed by someone but it was just sheep

@hikingshawty This is Brontë sisters weather, or Thomas Hardy, where great stories were brewed 💙☔️

England at its moodiest

@nimrodelf Scared the crap out of me in the cinema

Who are these guys?

@oasiscentral_ Stop Crying Your Heart Out ❤️‍🩹

Name ONE underrated Oasis song 👇

@DannyDrinksWine Casanova (2005)

Name a perfect valentine's day film.

@PhilipDBunn The Eagle by Tennyson. Anything by Langston Hughes, eg Tired. The shorter stuff by William Blake, eg the Poison Tree. YguDuh by e.e Cummings. Poetry is life.

I am copying an anxiety-inducing assignment from my undergraduate advisor and making students in my politics and technology class do poetry recitations. What on-theme poems would you recommend (conquest of nature, progress, modernity, etc. all relevant)?

@roryisconfused Isn’t it also maybe because we all sang songs in assembly at primary school in the UK? Every Friday from an early age? Dance then where very you may be - we are all the Lord of the Dance said he etc it’s in our culture from small

This is also why Robbie Williams never really broke America, I think – something like ‘Angels’ is fundamentally a British chanting song, it’s made to be belted out in unison by a crowd in a very, very British way

@exitthelemming I’m so sorry for your loss. I met your dad at Browns in Brighton the day after seeing him as King Lear. He was so great, a tremendous force of a man, & didn’t mind us shy schoolgirls disturbing his lunch - in fact he offered to sign his napkin for us to keep. A true king himself.

Never stop speaking about this

@ZoeRoseBryant How to watch this?

every year there’s at least one movie, if not more, that never gets the major awards recognition it deserves for some reason or another, and i just know in my heart of hearts that history will not remember these iron claw snubs fondly

@tombennett71 I used to make them exchange one of their shoes for a pen, leave the shoe at the front, hand over a pen. End of the lesson swap the shoe for the pen. Pen always came home .

If a student doesn’t have a pen, don’t ‘just give them a pen’. Instead you could: -Give them a pen and take note. If it happens again, follow up with a consequence -Give them a purple pen so it’s easy to show parents days equipment isn’t right -Teach them how to locate a pen -Teach them how to pack properly for the day -Privately, ask if there are any reasons why they aren’t ready -Record any equipment issues, daily -Teach them why being organised matters. -Teach them to bring three pens a day. Don’t ’just give them a pen.’ You are not Stationery Santa. Don’t teach them to be helpless. Show them you care by teaching them to be independent.

@ATRightMovies FAVOURITE SCENE! Blew my mind

A brilliant use of music in AMADEUS.
