Logging off for a bit as I go back to the Prairies, where I left a big bit of my heart 4.5 years ago 💜 back sooooon

Pod-Mom and Pod-Dad are getting back together, nature is healing.

A red rectangle with a white box at the top left reading “IN THE PRESS.” Centered on the image is a quote: “When more people from more geographies and backgrounds contribute, knowledge gaps are closed.” – Rebecca MacKinnon, Vice President of Global Advocacy at the Wikimedia Foundation, via Georgetown University’s MDI

Only 13% of Wikipedia editors are women, and just 19% of content is about women. In a feature by Georgetown University’s Massive Data Institute, our VP of Global Advocacy, Rebecca MacKinnon, explores how community and participation can help close the gap. ➡️ mdi.georgetown.edu/news/guwikie...

“Wikipedia is this economic anomaly. In many ways, it’s sort of magical that people will just volunteer without explicit economic incentives to create artifacts that are meant to share knowledge with everyone in the world”

(I think their free trial period is quite fair and gives you a good sense of if you'd like it overall)

I really like FreeAgent, I get it bundled in with my small business account and it's been a game changer.

I presented this morning on Writing Socially In Academia (cf. @linguaverse.bsky.social et al!), the much-loved and much-missed #remoteretreat model and my plans for the Green Bear Writing Lab (watch this space) 💚🐻

Despite a rocky start to the week (not Covid, hurray) I am delighted to be in Bern with @janebonsall.bsky.social @daisyeblack.bsky.social Hannah Piercy and Devani Singh working on 'Building Collaborative Support in Early Career Academia' 😍🇨🇭📚💜

How dare you.

Every time the vet suggests brushing my cats' teeth I wonder if they have ever, in fact, met a cat.

Sheesh this is mental. Here’s a list of Open Source alternatives.

Live footage of a lively and very enjoyable day in Leeds!

Will there be a UK/EU release? Asking for a friend of course... 😘

Absolutely smashing panel, all the speakers were fantastic! @lahri.bsky.social knocking it out of the park.

Loved this piece and the advice about how not to be a horrific tourist. Those poor donkeys 😢

Michelle Hurd 😍

I also really really enjoyed this film, especially some of the side characters!

Took some TOIL this afternoon to attend @15thcgossipgirl.bsky.social's amazing workshop on joke writing for nerds. 10/10 recommend 👌

Mayhaps a wee tea or coffee? X

The IMC team are also certified angels who dealt with my very late registration request today with good humour and peak efficiency. Very excited for my first #IMC2025 as a UoL employee!

Teddy knows what's up 🔥🐈

Firefox extension for those who are interested.

Did you get to see Unearthed? It's a lovely one! 🌱

Jonathan Bengston talking about the challenging terrain of reconciliation within the academic library on Indigenous land is reminding me powerfully of the seismic shift I felt in the two years I worked and lived in Canada. Hearing these conversations here in the UK is absolutely crucial. #LKFS2025
