I love doing these events so much! Wdym I get to speak to a room full of young mathematicians and hype them up to stay dedicated, find joy in maths, and go out to do things in the world?! 🥹💗🌍

This is really cool! Are you doing this on MS Excel?

The vertical is really cool - I’m gonna have to Owens how to do these and make some of my own now that I have a 3D printer! Inspiiiired :)

Quick, sign up for the @mathsgear.bsky.social newsletter before I put the August one out! mathsgear.co.uk/pages/newsle... Whaaaaat, it’s technically still August! I have to write it at the very end of the month to contain MAXIMUM August news…

Me sitting at the back step with wild pink hair swept to the side and typing on my laptop. It looks a lot more serene than it was, maybe you can see that in my eyes.

I personally hate watching recordings of things which were meant to be viewed live, I feel like it never fully captures the moment as it was! So if it’s not for you, pleeease, scroll on by! But if you want it, come and get it whilst it’s hot (and not deleted)

Oooh interesting, have you landed on the more AI-favourable end of the spectrum? I’m currently very anti-AI… although I know it is a tool which can be used for some good

Yaaaay! It’s so good to see you again :) the recreational and creative Maths sphere (and maths teaching world) really lost so much with the collapse of Twitter 😢

At family day at Bridges I volunteered to help Nick Sayers with his giant pantograph. Trace the outline of the person, and a small copy is drawn by the pen. It was fun for kids and adults of all ages. Here is @ayliean.bsky.social as a model and an artist.

This year's Bridges #Mathart conference's second keynote is given by @ayliean.bsky.social - "It's about time" (which was both about time topic-wise, but also about time for her to give a talk at this conference). She gives a fascinating account of time across her various #MathArt projects.

What does “being a mathematician” mean to you? Marjorie Rice was in her 50s when she discovered 4 of the 15 pentagonal tilings and is forever described as an “amateur mathematician” It’s never to late to be a maths nerd - let’s both take that advice :) (Ayliean age 34)

Ayliean @ayliean.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

Here’s an up close, with what I think is a good orientation for understanding. It’s like knitting but in three directions?

A satsuma in an unusual sack, it looks like an isometric grid with prominent vertical looks

Ayliean @ayliean.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

Absolutely! I was thinking that an easier machine process must be the only way this would make sense - I’ll see if I can reverse engineer it.

150

Ayliean @ayliean.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

The pattern in the satsuma sacks have changed! How come?! It looks like it takes up more string. They’re definitely stronger and more difficult to get into. Was there an issue before with satsumas making a break for freedom?

Popped in to see my favourites at the Sheep Sanctuary on the way back from the SMC conf. Head still whirring with so much to think about. Gonna clear the muck heap and listen to an old Bookchin lecture whilst I organise my thoughts. It’s been a good day :)

Me with pink orange hair and two sheep one is nudging into me in a sweet way the other looks happy. There is grass and a topped over wheelbarrow in the background.

Anyone else at the Stirling SMC conference? I’m repoing my Mathstonbury t-shirt for some nerdy fun! So far extremely surprised at the positive attitude many teachers have towards using AI to write their questions… I’m formulating my thoughts! @scottishmaths.bsky.social @samhartburn.bsky.social

Oh noooo, I don’t think @wordle-tetris.bsky.social can pull it off today! We need a word with 4 green one blank… Having stayed up past midnight, like a badass, I have insider info that it’s just not gonna be possible with today’s Wordle answer. We can start again tomorrow 🥲

Aww thank you, hope you enjoyed it! It’s been a thoroughly rough week of isolation but at least I’ve been keeping this covid to myself 😪 I know Stagehand Sophie will have done an amazing substitute job!
