If you can figure out how to give a one year old an age appriopriate understanding of polo you've probably earned this insane salary....

I've wound up back at the job I left in the first place for (maths advisor type thing). I genuinely don't know what else to do with myself! My younger friend has just started a social work apprenticeship following teaching.

For many years I have been posting little observations online. What you may not know is that for many years, artists have been illustrating them - for no reason other than they wanted to respond. Below is a thread of some of these beautiful drawings because they should be seen 🧵

Were the slides in time with the talk? I did it a week or so ago and there was a huge lag, it was tricky to work out what was going on!

I love his work too! I have these and a giant tortoise. He's also one of the nicest human beings!

It's seven years since we posted on Twitter about how kids kept coming into the library asking if we had any books about FORTNITE. We didn't back then, and we'd never heard of it so we tried asking what it was.

Yeah it is and I'm sorry that I can't magic it to work for you!

Assuming you have Windows (otherwise this is useless sorry!) search for 'snipping tool' and it's a scissor image. Click on that and you'll get a bar - I think the first button there is full screen. They autosave in Pictures - Screenshots by default as far as I know.

Do you have the snipping tool? That has a full screen option.

Bluesky Goes Dark in Mississippi Over Age Verification Law Bluesky has chosen to block access in the state rather than risk potential fines of up to $10,000 per violation.

As far as I can tell they enforced laws like our new ones to 'protect the kids' but extended it to all age restricted sites, so for BSky & other age limited sites you have to prove your age.
