Really like this project by Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek. Titled Exactitudes, it's a series of portraits stretching back 20 years that shows how people style themselves to signal they're part of a group and unique individuals within that group.

First day of the holidays and of course I am up at 0520.
I think we can all agree that was the worst penalty shoot out ever. Still, an ugly win is still a win. #lionesses
I did four last week, and I was on a three-day union course from Wednesday.
Likewise. I find it helpful. It's still not at the same level that old Twitter was, but it is getting better and better. The new Twitter was horrible.
That's a good idea. I will speak to the head of the 6th form.
Don't know. It's only our second cohort (new school) so can't say which year is typical.
Yr 12 induction day. Last year about 40% of students on Further Maths were female. This year: 0%. #Alevelmaths
Never, never let your gun
Pointed be at anyone.

Will not make up for one man dead.
Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.
However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
I had 17k followers on the other place because of my previous job. Now I am just hoi polloi.
How long have they waited to use that profile name?
This is one of the best questions on error intervals. Really separates out students who answer procedurally and those who understand. It's a great question.
#Alevelmaths some very kind soul put up a link to the PDFs of the Pearson a level books. I don't suppose anyone still has it? We are subscribers so this isn't sketchy.
This year we only had 3 A Level teachers. Each class had 2 teachers (KS 5 coord taught both). I taught 13 of 20 FM classes - all Yr 12 A Level, all stats, half of D1. She taught all mechanics, FM1 and half of D1. We split Yr 13 a level and are splitting core pure. Next year we have 4 teachers
This long thread is packed with insights, particularly on the intersection of fashion and power. The transformation in men's fashion from the richness of the 18th century to the drab of the 20th is, I think, regretable.
Oh. Interesting. We do Edexcel so I will have to check with them. Thank you.
Pen Island didn't think carefully about their URL.
We are switching to the IB. I will book time in the HoD's diary tomorrow.
I worked for the paper for nearly 20 years. That's not on my bio anymore. It comes to something that the crook Conrad Black was a far better proprietor than the loathsome Barclay brothers.
I think that is a fair point.
I may just be showing my advanced age (think Methuselah here ...)
Isn't it easy? This was the first year I taught it (well, half of it). Have to say I found it pretty straightforward as did students. But boy is it picky... Students seemed really happy to have done it - I think it offers a break and is unlike anything they have done before. I am a convert.
Question for #ALevelMaths - doing Mod-arg with Furthers. It's the first time I taught it. Is cisθ still an acceptable abbreviation for cosθ + isinθ. It was a thousand years ago when I did FM A level, but is it accepted by Edexcel? Thanks.
I did this last year. Absolutely loved it. Thoroughly recommend it.
Help the second homeless.
I realise this is not really rthe point, but my goodness the Americans cannot march. That wasn't a parade, it was a shamble. The contrast with #troopingthecolour could not be more stark. #nokings #actualking
