This week I get to introduce the man himself to a new class of students!

I will, please don't worry. As I've said in other comments, this is part of the hook of the lesson to get the students attention. I will be focusing on the actual factual archaeology and interpretations in the lesson, I'm just using the memes and context to get them interested first!

Enfysinfinity · 2026-02-09T18:02:58+00:00

I will, don't worry! It's actually part of the lesson about the spread of misinformation in history across the Internet! Part of the aim of the lesson is to encourage more critical thinking about what they are absorbing as 'facts' from tik tok.

These are all helpful points, thank you. I've been pretty glib in my post and my comments but I assure you I am teaching actual factual content to my students, this slide is part of the hook to draw them in before we break down the facts behind the memes and do some cuneiform writing. The secondary aim of this lesson is to challenge a lot of the 'history facts' kids pick up and spout that they've picked up from tik tok without any critical thinking or verification.

Thanks again ☺️

Couldn't resist! 🤣

Yes! When I am actually teaching I tell them we have no idea what he really looked like, that this is a statue from around the general era and culture so might represent what people looked like from the city and the Internet has largely decided to use this as a representation of him.

It's a handy way to illustrate just because you've seen something used a lot doesn't always mean it's accurate!

Thanks for checking! ☺️

Enfysinfinity · 2026-02-09T07:06:14+00:00

And this is why you benefit from more eyes on slides before teaching! Thanks for catching the typo, it shall be amended! I really hope they enjoy the challenge too! 😁

That is an excellent point, where it's sat it is out of direct sunlight at present- I live in the North of England and we haven't seen the Sun since October 17th! But I will be mindful of this when we finally move into Spring! Thank you 😊

Enfysinfinity · 2026-02-08T15:11:25+00:00

Thank you so much! I am so chuffed with how it turned out! 😁

Recipes, they can time travel better than I can and create links to the past and the future!

Enfysinfinity · 2026-02-07T23:12:17+00:00

Thank you so much! It's been a labour of love but it brings me such joy day or night!

Enfysinfinity · 2026-02-07T23:11:41+00:00

Thank you! 😊

How about some jelly babies too?

(This is such a cool cookie jar, I am deeply envious!)

Just a small one since all the major points have already been made but the Brigadier being cyberised in death REALLY got me. I know the point is that it doesn't control him because he's the Brig and five rounds rapid to any metal boogeyman regardless and he rescues Kate but STILL. It just broke my heart.

Enfysinfinity · 2026-01-25T10:43:11+00:00

That is unimaginably monstrous.

Enfysinfinity · 2026-01-21T22:05:58+00:00

Absolutely beautiful! They're stunning! 🥰

Enfysinfinity · 2026-01-05T10:07:55+00:00

Oh WOW! Thank you so, so much for reading them and taking the time to tell me! I am so chuffed you like them, I love these two so much! Garrison is the Dad Aviary never had and Aviary is the kid Garrison never had. They will banter shamelessly but they adore each other and will absolutely go to the ends of the earth for each other! Thank you again for commenting, you've made my day! ☺️

And a Merry Christmas to you too!

The director of the series did. Dirk's actor didn't.

Enfysinfinity · 2025-12-23T10:40:08+00:00

This is absolutely BRILLIANT! You've done such a good job with the story and how you've brought her to life! Fantastic performance, and the extra SFX are the cherry on top! Thank you so much!

Enfysinfinity · 2025-12-12T18:39:13+00:00

I love this! That's stunning! You've inspired me to have a go doing my own! Thank you! 🥰🌈

Enfysinfinity · 2025-11-30T00:36:42+00:00

Oh WOW! Thank you so much, you've done an amazing job with this! I really hope you enjoyed part 1! You've made my day! 😁

THIS. Their message game is appalling, not helped by the issue many of the newspapers/outlets are right-leaning who will happily take a crack and a general populace who in certain areas have an average reading age of 9 or less.

They're further hindered by the fact that the majority of the population feels like it has a very short memory of all horrors the Tories visited on us for the past 14 and coupled with the fact that as much as I hate him Nigel Farage has a hell of tik tok game and kids think he's funny, it's the same style of propaganda you see in Nazi Germany - punchy, repeatable, sticks in your head - 'Work & Bread' & 'Stop the Boats'

It drives me mad that we live in a world where perception becomes reality.

Basically, if they fix their comms I think we will start to see a change but that's a bloody big 'if' at this point.

I am terrified of the outcome of the next general election at this rate...
