It's still driving me round the bend that I have to scroll down to find my place every time I load my posts on here. Surely it doesn't have to be this way!? #BlueskyHelp

Not seen this before but I guess it follows from the angle double at the centre to the angle at the circumference, right? I like it. I'm way too tired to work out the answer to the q though 😂

Thankfully tomorrow's 6 start with two doubles so planning wise it's not awful at least

Full 6 session day today, followed by sixth form open evening. Full 6 session day tomorrow 😫

Soooo... the arc marked 50° would subtend a 50° at the circle centre? Is that what you mean? (It's been a long day lol)

I don't understand, what are the floating numbers connected to?

Mr 'DG' Goater @goatermaths.bsky.social · 1d

One of my lessons moved days and time slot (Yr13). Which option covers that!? @teachertapp.bsky.social think I'm gonna go with... rooming?

Teacher Tapp question: "Has your timetable changed since the start of term?" Instruction to tick all that apply out of: Yes, a change in rooming; Yes, a change in subject; Yes, a change in classes; No; Not relevant / cannot answer

Lol, can't remember what it was but it has an 'old white guy' name on it and a 'since 1978' or something like that on it. Think even Jenrick would struggle

For the last week, an ice cream van has come down my little road, music full blast, at about this time of night - the street lights are flippin' on! It's gotta be a front for drugs, right? 😂 🍦🌿🚬🚚

I even have my phone clock set to analogue, both home screen and lock screen. I LOVE analogue clocks. They bring a certain... spatial element to time? I can't process digital time properly

Salad Fingers gets a mention this week 😂 my head went there at the same time as @amymayforrester.bsky.social 😂 I almost shouted it out loud when she couldn't think of its name 😂

If I were hosting a session, I'd be trying to shoehorn those in right away now 😂

Okay. Phew. I think I just taught myself the true meaning of being incredulous 😂

The Maths Bazaar @themathsbazaar.bsky.social · 5d

While not quite fake, when you read the story as it appears now, it’s clear what happened. The paragraph quoted in the subheading is actually about 3/4 of the way down the story. All that’s happened is that the wrong bit of it was cut and pasted in the subheading slot.

Mr 'DG' Goater @goatermaths.bsky.social · 5d

This is bonkers. SURELY you've got to work hard to do that!? That doesn't happen unintentionally, suuuurrrreeelllyyy!?

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

Article reads:
Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first

The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

Aaaannndd of course my Father's response was to make a joke about kicking the bucket -_-

On Yom Kippur many Jewish people in Britain have their phones off to mark the holy day.

As it ends at 723pm, some will hear the tragic Manchester news for the first time.

At that time, please join many of us to send a message of solidarity to British Jews.Thanks Together coalition for proposing.
