Monsieur Steve

TEACHER PAY RAISES! 💲💲💲 Most veteran teachers in Ontario are paid quite well, and rightfully so with what it took us to get here & for all that we do. Sadly, that isn’t the case all over the world. I hear horror stories about teachers who have to work 2-3 jobs just to survive…I can barely handle ONE JOB! 😱 And let’s talk classroom budgets, I know for a fact that most classrooms look as amazing as they do, thanks to teachers paying for it out of their own pockets, or asking for donations/crowdfunding using things like a list on @amazon! 💰💰💰 And for those of you working multiple jobs, I know you have no choice, but I don’t know how you do it. You have ALL of my respect! And for those of you who are doing that with KIDS!?! Legit superhero status! 🦸🏾 🦸🏻‍♀️ 🦸‍♂️ What do you think teacher / educator friends? Are teachers paid well where you live?!? 🤔 . . . . . . . #teacherspayteachers #teachermemes #teacherhumor #educationsystem #teacherreels #educatorsofinstagram

🎉 11 YEAR ANNIVERSARY! 🎉 Today, Justin I celebrate ELEVEN years of wedded BLISSSSS, & 18 years of laughs, love & even MORE laughs! 💕 Did I mention the ridiculous amounts of laughter? Ok, good. 😜 I’ve spent the majority of my schooling career keeping my private life private, and when anyone asked about the ring 💍, I’d deflect, ignore or redirect attention away. Why? Fear. Fear or it becoming an issue, people treating me differently, getting on someone’s “radar”, becoming a target 🎯 etc… we don’t even hold hands in public because we’ve become the butt of jokes, harassed, and even bashed (nothing physical, but verbally assaulted). 🗣 Things straight couples never have to worry about. remarks or worse. I know I’ll lose followers over this. That’s ok. So, today I’m taking a vacation from that way of thinking and sharing with all of you the happiest, most magical day of my life! FUN FACTS ABOUT THE WEDDING: 📍It was 20s themed with suits from @brooksbrothers @brooksbrothers.canada 📍We stayed at the @omnikingedward 📍It was in the @distilleryto 📍We had a violinist 📍We had a dance performance 📍I did a choreographed dance to @madonna’s “Hung Up” 📍Our wedding cake was done by the incredibly talented @cakeoperaco and covered in real edible gold! I’m sharing because visibility matters. I’m sharing because being gay isn’t a choice. I’m sharing for everyone who lives in a part of the world where sharing could mean imprisonment, or even worse, death. Unapologetically, Monsieur Steve . . . . . . . . #elevenyears #gaywedding #gayhusbands #proudteacher #visibilitymatters #loveisloveislove #gaytoronto #gaycanada
