@samriegel.bsky.social to add to the HPV vaccine appreciation bandwagon, I’m apparently too old to get it, but I did get my daughter vaccinated largely thanks to your heads up. (Sending as DM because I don’t want the general interwebz to know about my age or my daughter)

I was enjoying Duolingo, so I decided to get rid of the ads and limited lives and paid for a 1-year subscription to “Super Duolingo”. Halfway through said year, they introduced Duolingo Max, so now half of my stuff was blocked because I chose to pay, but I wasn’t paying enough. ffs

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square. 45² = 45 x 45 = 2025 Also, 9² x 5² = 2025 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025 My favourite? 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025 #Mathematics #teaching #education
