Today was my first ever time actually teaching students in a classroom at an actual school. Before y'all go crazy, I am on placement so I didn't just randomly walk into a classroom and hijack the place. I'm meant to be here, honest. And to be quite truthful, it wasn't fantastic but it also wasn't [...]

beauty is a construct
beauty is a construct. it forces, enforces, standards of beauty to conform to an institutionalisation of individual suppression. you are unique. you are the only you in existence. be you without fear, rebel against the authority which deigns to speak about the wonderment of your face. - because you are beautiful, love.
TOP PICKS: Archangel’s Viper by Nalini Singh
Ok, I wrote this quick little rant before one of my classes because I couldn't hold in my emotions and also because I was procrastinating haarrdd.

i want to possibly try something.
Recently, I've been thinking of possibly adding an 'education' series on my blog. Like, posts talking about the conferences I've been to, the learning that I'm currently doing, etc. If I haven't already told y'all, I'm a pre-service teacher! So, I felt like maybe I should do mini posts that talk about issues in education, [...]

Malfunctioning dildos like the, Donald Trumpโs Pauline Hansonโsย and Mike Pence's of the world; stains on the very fabric of that which is the equality and humanity we [...]
#REVIEW of THE HATE YOU GIVE by Angie Thomas
5/5. Read it. Now. The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas needs to be a compulsory novel read in secondary schools across the world. It is a modern classic, speaking from a perspective not quite heard in the book community; and that is from the perspective of people of colour. Even though there is a [...]
the impermanence of your permanence.
itโs easier to say that youโre dead, instead of just, you left and never looked back. how ironic that the prospect of your death would be easier to handle than watching you walk away so casually, (a voluntary abandonment). it's easier to say that you're dead rather than remember how my mother's tears created permanent [...]

I raised my hands a blessing tasting the fire the ash. donโt be fooled by the burns of the leftover destruction. having to rise from those ashes I discovered re-discovered Myself. My strength. My intelligence. A glorious phoenix with wings of fire and ash. -ย flying, soaring. a winged beast of [...]
THIS WEEEEEK IN BOOKS. again.
Another week already? I think this is part three? Well, fuck. I feel like I've done nothing. Maybe because I haven't. Uni starts back up again next week, and to say that I'm excited is possibly pushing it just a bit. But, none of that! Let's break down my week...book-style! I think my last 'this week [...]
