My kid is dressing up as Agent 3 from Splatoon. We made this Hero Shot ink blaster out of a variety of materials and lots of hot glue and spray paint. #make

Shout outs to all my chemists sitting their IB exam today! 💚💚

You can smoke in pubs and restaurants in Thailand... Accidentally ended up in a situation where I was in the smoking area of a pub for 45 min. Gross. Clothes smell and needed a shower when I got home.

Getting observed by a deputy today. Was told to include a "specific target of observation". I wrote down "students reading and annotating exam questions to develop skills to answer IB questions". This was apparently not specific enough.. @edutooters

The most wonderful thing about #fountainpens is that they convert the act of simply writing into an aesthetic celebration.

A beautiful fountain pen, a beautiful bottle of ink, and a beautiful piece of paper (perhaps in a beautiful personal organizer or notebook) transport the soul in a way that no disposable biro ever could.

Almost no posts for #FlatFuckFriday that I can find in search.

Never forget that just because we lost our history when leaving the various hellsites, that doesn't mean we can't build moments to their glory!

LOOK AT THIS FLAT FUCK

Bumblebees learn by observing other bees. Bumblebees, like ants, may even teach each other. In a University of London experiment a bee watched a "fake bee" (a fuzzy yellow & black orb on a stick) pushing a yellow ball into a circle for a sugar water reward. The bee copied this action.

When a nest mate was introduced, they learned by watching the bee trained in the previous experiment. I find the idea of a "fake bee" adorable.

You can make body facts sound weirdly threatening by adding 'currently' to them.

Your teeth are the only parts of your skeleton currently visible

The femur is currently the longest bone in your body

First detectable smogday in Bankgkok. Immediately felt it when I breathed in... Purifier is on.

Slowly working through 2000s Jackie Chan films with my 9 y.o. before I put him onto the classics...

Back into Hearthstone, but a new account so all my old cards are gone...

Anyone still playing and want a new friend? Hit me up!

If you are in Europe, do file a complaint against #YouTube.

Under EU law they are not allowed to deploy #adblock detection technologies.

One option would be to watch YouTube via Invidious - a pretty good idea to protect your #privacy as well!

This at least works for now, but Google is also trying to kill Invidious:

Went to the Grand Canyon in Chiang
Mai today. Smashed my tailbone
doing a cliff dive, ripped off a
fingernail and scored a rope burn
and tissue trauma to my shin... Had
a great day!

My kid uses and iPad for school and we are a full Android or Windows house. How TF do I get files to his device.. ITunes 🙄 Surely there is a workaround.. Haven't got an IOS/USB flash drive yet.

Last day of half term is an INSET. Really? It has a 30 min break, an hour lunch and hour "quiz"... Why not just start at 8 and go home at 1. I do not underatand this management system at all. I also don't even know what stands for! Haha. @edutooters
