Boo! Met my SO in one of those little corner tute rooms!

Yes, absolutely. And I'm so sorry. Horrible news. I'm glad you have a chance to spend some extra time together ♥️

Hoping something lovely happens to shepherd's pie lady ♦️

Swap you the Turkish delight?

Yes! A great start but the same people are still, astonishingly, running the State Library of Melbourne. They're not saying, 'we were wrong' but 'you don't understand it, so we'll re-word it'. Rally tomorrow Saturday, at Library 12.30! We must stiffen our spines! (Ba ha ha, books, I'm very tired.)

I doubt many people in the crowd on Boxing Day could pick her out of a line-up, but sure...

PSA for Victorians with chronic illnesses! I just heard about the Medical Cooling Concesssion and it may be useful to you too? If you require cooling at home for medical reasons, get your GP to help complete the application and get a big discount on summer energy bills. Form linked here >

Boo!!!

Emergency theremin. Not a phrase you will hear often, but one I plan to use in a sentence this week.

I'm not sure they even think that. They just think they can make $$$ force feeding it to us until we capitulate.

Pats for doggo and for you! 🤕

I am all out of expletives.

Guess what? You *can* speak to your dead grandmother forever... with a magical thing I called Your Imagination, which can be 100% tailored to your inner needs, and doesn't require big tech to assimilate info & images of your relatives without their consent! Amazing!

Lovely celebration 🧵to wrap up the year! 👏🏆

*Rubs hands* Splendid!

Discord, who recently leaked a heap of personal data in a security breach, wants my personal data to let me access a channel I created in a server I created. Thank you, Australian government.

I'm glad it's not just me... but also I'm not glad this is how it went for you!

Are international signatories useful, or do you need to be NL based?

IT NEVER WORKS. NEVER. EVER. NEVER WORKS. IT HAS NEVER WORKED. AUSTERITY LEADS TO ENROLLMENT COLLAPSE LEAVES TO UNIVERSITY CLOSURE. EVERY TIME. ALWAYS.

Surely Calibri was adopted mainly because it was the MS default for a while???

I need to know more about those sweet potatoes

I'd add: make a weekly moment in class to discuss how students prioritised their reading and why. What did they consider essential, and what 'only if I have time' or 'only for advanced students'? Getting them to articulate (and reflect on) their choices is always productive imo.

The language that it is academics who are the unrealistic ones is so insidious. We're not the unrealistic ones, we *know* a functioning democracy needs good education (cf: your Founding Fathers...), we know education needs *time*, we know research is key to keeping that education forward-looking.

St Francis would be proud
