So much for @waitrose.bsky.social “Little Treats”. Spend 50 quid and you can have a free thing that is never going to be in stock again.

The @museumoftoronto.bsky.social's "Mr. Dressup to Degrassi" is a great exhibition!

Lots of childhood memories and lots of new things learned. Will have a full review on an upcoming Substack!

Anyone know of any resources for the new Edexcel Extended Maths Certificate please? My son is sitting it and as it’s new we can’t find much - except on Twinkl (well done @mrmattock.bsky.social )!

Me at a Chinese buffet:
Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Anyone booking a flight with BA soon? I have a £25 eVoucher that expires in August, which I got because the inflight entertainment wasn't working on the way back from Tokyo. The flights don't have to be in my name, but it has to be for flights, not for seat purchase or anything. HMU if you want it.

Americans! Buy a British electric kettle. Then it won't boil dry on the hob. And don't use a saucepan. You weirdos.

Even in the cold, book readers were out in force around town — on trains, waiting for the Metro, at the gym and walking down the street.

Any home-schooling parent (sorry, home-educating, they are really pissy about their jargon) who refuses entry to insepctors should be an immediate red flag. Neglect, abuse, indoctrination, children should be registered by the council and inspected regularly. They are so at risk of harm.
