Thank you for posting!

Bright coral. Text overlayed on photo reads: history heaps sheering waves shattering across reefs. Title reads: The long arc Bottom text reads: Clare Bryden (c)

@clarebryden.bsky.social's 'The long arc' explores alternative ways of knowing, paying respect to the ways in which coral knows history and its environment, and the power it has to communicate that knowledge.

My #TinyJoys include my tiny #philosophy club, basically me and a mate discussing OUP's Very Short Introductions over a cup or glass of something.

This afternoon was VSI Hannah #Arendt part 2 (the first we decided warranted a part 2) over tea and homemade flapjack.

Well, you can Open and Save as MS documents. But the interfaces are different so there will be a learning curve

... and experimenting... Windows-Shift-hyphen (ie underscore on my keyboard) gives you an em-dash!
I'd already set up LibreOffice to autocorrect -- to –, --- to —, and –- to —, but this will be helpful everywhere else 💪

You can't repeal the laws of physics 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️ #climate

Gorgeous. Read to the end.

I think I might take one of these "under 20 minutes" AI skills courses the UK Govt. seems very keen on everyone doing and live-post it here... Maybe we can all learn something together! The press release sends me to aiskillshub.org.uk/aiskillsboost/ - let's go and see!

Your response to an accessibility-related request is not good enough for a government agency

One of my gripes about the old app was that it disappeared all the info if it didn't have internet access, and that doesn't seem to be an issue any more - correct?

Maps: It used to be possible to hide the 6 hours 5 days panel. It takes up a lot of screen real estate, and the swipe-y timeline only needs to label every hour, which would mean the timesteps could be much closer together, and swiping be slicker.

Will there be a cross-app choice of units?

if you need some extra welly,
add the works of Keats and Shelley

Glorious waning crescent moon in Exeter

As did I, before I looked at the label

*Passing of the Artist* /for Veronica/ You promised to return as a seagull. Why not? While not entirely welcomed, you will be allowed to get away with modern public art and muggings. Your relatives have decorated many a town centre and harbour wall. Once, a great aunt sat on a lamp post took perfect aim and shat on my head. Or the summer a distant cousin ambushed a waiter at the station café and swallowed a croissant whole while I just watched and wondered. That must have been you on Thursday over lunch in Piazza Terracina, making off with my banana bread. © Clare Bryden

Handwritten: I chose that one because I learnt sooo much information that I feel like my brains have been blown out. Jumping out of joy!

A fab morning of space exploration at Balgreen Primary today, with the Dynamic Earth Planetarium team. We're using colour-in mood characters to collect feedback from the class and I love this response so much that I just had to share it. "Jumping out of Joy!"😍 #scicomm 🔭

Public Service Announcement for anyone else who has lost track: Today is Blursday

It's #Thursday, I think!

A firework of fragrant winter heliotrope to wish you a happy new year

Part of a Chagall Window in St Stephen's, Mainz... mainly blue, with an angle carrying a book and hovering over a candlestick, and a man dressed in red sitting in the bottom right corner. Plus the text: Wishing you joy at Christmas, and a healthy and content 2026

Merry Christmas!

Frohe Weihnachten!
