hpsvanessa.bsky.socialngl I find it extremely funny that a) the times higher published that press release nothing burger article and that b) people are sharing it. I mean, all it has in it is basic 101 ground level first suggestion genAI-in-the-classroom exercises that we were all talking about using *years* ago. BORING.
Dr Vanessa
hpsvanessa.bsky.socialit's not a word, it's a set: the ie and ei words. learning that stupid rhyme as a kid has ruined me because half the time it doesn't work. This has long been an issue for me with weird, and is currently causing chaos re. my attempt to start an academic project on protein. except after C? LIARS.
Museum Bums

drsurekhadavies.bsky.social"visible mending for business wear challenges a particular image of power: intact, impenetrable, invulnerable. The business suit as suit of armour." A fun read from @joshspero.ft.com about a sustainable fashion frontier.
Once again reminded I genuinely don't like our Green Party. I don't like nationalist parties. Labour have decided to chase the bigot vote. Little communist parties are by and large Trots covering for rapists. Everyone else is too right wing for me to consider. Only solution? I must start a podcast.

ctimmermann.bsky.socialI guess we should have known this would happen. The Bullshit Machine in this example seems to run with the uncorrected transcripts of recorded lectures (we all know how good they are), and some of the mistranslated words even turn up in the tests. “X-riskers” turns into “X-Riscus”.

nuclearanthro.bsky.socialCurrent intersection of (presumed) Long COVID exhaustion/fatigue & cPTSD shit is causing moderate to severe degradations in all areas of life functioning. Even so, tomorrow is another day. Good night Bluesky. Together is the only way we build liveable todays & tomorrows.

johnedwinmason.bsky.socialThe BBC was a lifeline* when I lived in apartheid South Africa. For news & for life affirming cultural programming. Sadly it's been sliding downhill for a couple decades due to successive governments both meddling & failing to support it. Now a former Google exec has driven a stake into its soul.
Chantal James
chantalalive.blacksky.appExcuse me, Trump's home improvement project is our national priority? For what reason? Give us our money so we can live you fool. Nobody asked him to destroy historical architecture to build a ballroom for him & his tacky rich friends. And now we have to foot the bill?
Lupita Nihongo
otsumamiboy.bsky.socialI haven’t hooped in 7 years cuz I rolled my ankle & injured my knee at LA Fitness & all I could think about was US Healthcare, plus I’m Ass but a Japanese friend invited me to play with his basketball group here & my instinctive first thought was ‘Why? So we slander The Blacks?’
Lupita Nihongo
otsumamiboy.bsky.socialLater we need to examine Young Jeezy from the perspective of being one of the greatest beat selectors in rap history. Maybe only 2 Chainz is in his rarified air of pure consistency. But Jeezy specifically chooses beats that sounds like Black superheroes are walking towards the screen in slow motion
