Michelle Chom 🇦🇺🦢 (she/her)

I do not like that man named Trump
I do not like his bloated rump
I do not like his greedy stare
His golf, his crimes, his processed hair
I do not like his petty schemes
Or how he haunts the nation's dreams
I do not like him, not at all -
A neon ego on the wall

remember when the panama papers came out and we found out every rich person on earth was committing tax fraud and then nothing happened

I'm a journalist and attorney, not an activist, so I've no answers on what Americans should do right now.

I only know this: Donald Trump is attempting to incite a civil war so he can cancel all future elections, and he will keep executing citizens until that outcome is achieved.

intj-aesthetics Follow Hey kids, take it from an old forest hag: it's totally okay to half-ass your hobbies ... trace that picture for your journal ... like old cars without knowing how to fix them ... watch the movies without reading the comics ... super glue the part of the model ... learn one (1) way to make a braid ... watch how-to videos for every step of the recipe ... google every second word in that article ... use the automatic setting on your camera And don't be ashamed. Real life isn't school. The all or nothing mentality is not healthy. Don't gate-keep yourself from stuff that might be fun. Shrug, grin, and hold eye contact with a boomer while you do it. It's good I promise.

“You said you love Doctor Who, name all the Doctors, companions, enemies, do you know who has had a cameo Remembrance of the Daleks?!”- I said I’m a fan, not that I’m studying it for the Mastermind.

STEM and the arts are so often pitted against each other nowadays. It would seem nonsensical to Leonardo da Vinci, who was both an artist and an engineer. We need science to improve life, and art to give meaning to it. It’s a partnership, not a war.

Well this explains what my darling son shared with me at the beginning of December! Poor little dude missed his Primary School graduation, along with a third of his year group! 😔

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Librarians throw books away.

If you don't read the books, they get binned.

Virginia Giuffre’s brother: I think we were shocked by it—especially the use of the term “stolen.” Because she’s not an object. She’s a person. Someone who was recruited at Mar-a-Lago—his property… it just kind of makes us wonder… how much he knew

Hey #EduSky #WomenInSTEM folks, am after recommendations to further investigate...
Who (academic/school/educator) do you know that has the best/really cool initiatives for increasing the number of girls electing to study computing (IT/CS) at a post-compulsory level? (Must be outside of Australia)

The 8 talking points fossil fuel companies use to obstruct climate action New research highlights companies’ “aligned and coordinated” use of Twitter to deny climate change and delay solutions.

(Download and read the PNAS Climate paper, highlighted in this post. There is so much detail about the actions of Big Fossil Fuel.)
"Twitter and other social media apps were vectors of misinformation and propaganda, including from fossil fuel interests"

Young ppl are not fkn around this election. We want a habitable earth for now and the future. We want an end to our complicity in other nations war crimes, we want an end to the unspoken aparthied and continued genocide of Indigenous ppls in so called Australia. We want to end the duopoly.

Holding Truth to Power Have you had enough of Commercial Media? Its lies and misinformation? How it tries to manufacture and control the news, instead of simply reporting it. How it mixes facts with opinions to manipulate the truth. How it stays silent on the biggest global issues and instead feeds us stories on petty crime and celebrity gossip. This is a reminder that there is a lot of GOOD QUALITY INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM IN AUSTRALIA, if you know where to look. (Not the ones who claim to be independent but are being funded by Russia or the Koch Brother) Good Journalists holding the Rich and Powerful to account who need our support.

A5: I try to give back as much as I can, and share cool stuff that I find so others can see it too. I've definitely benefited from others too, so it's a balance.
#EduSkyAU

agree with the quality over quantity!
But yeah *shakes fist at algorithms*

A4: For DigiTech it's Kings College London, CAS, and the Raspberry Pi foundation that have such fantastic resourses and insights. Learned so much from them. Also generally speaking @philosophyteach.bsky.social for his approach to rich discussions. Made me see things in a different light.
#EduSkyAU

A3: That's a great question, I guess it's sharing ideas and inspiration and trying stuff and feeding back how to make them better. Respectfully challenging things. Sharing wins, supporting failures, building each other up. Teaching is too hard to do alone, we need to work collaboratively.
#EduSkyAU

A2: Remembering! Yes, setting alarm would have been useful for this one (Mr 10 swimming lessons at the same time)
Also cutting out all the irrelevant STEM bandwagon noise, and also rubbish from people that think DT is what ICT was renamed to. Twitter used to be good, BSky is getting there!
#EduSkyAU

A1: It made such a huge difference, starting in Primary and being the only DT teacher in the school, I relied on my online PLN to keep myself sane and reassured I was on the right track. Also the CSER community too from their MOOCs.
