It was my birthday yesterday, and I’m still very much feeling the love today. For this longterm birthday Eeyore, it’s a most wonderful thing to get suddenly a lot more out of the occasion.❤️

Been feeling a bit “meh” about my therapy sessions recently as the series draws to a close and I’ve run out of things to say about myself. Today, though, I found myself talking about (and thus acknowledging) how massively far I’ve come this year. 🥹 💫 #grateful #perspective #trusttheprocess

We hate being the bearers of bad news, but that giant asteroid couldn’t come any quicker.

First film you saw at the cinema. The real first one, not the pretend one you tell people! Film, year, where, & whatever stuck with you. The Slipper & the Rose. Commodore, Aberystwyth, 1976. I remember NOTHING except that Dad took me; it might be the only time we ever went to the cinema together.

If you have the spare energy/5 mins of time, here is a template to write to your local MP following Beth Dobbin’s letter to Andy Burnham. Let’s try and keep this momentum going!💙 #thereforME #ME #chronicillness #advocacy

Why is this student so upset about the mushroom, though? What could it have done to make her protest across the whole continent

Show me something that traumatized you as a child. (It was either this or Watership Down: must be something about rabbits…)

This thread of (English) accent-based jokes is a delight.

I feel seen

Yet more in the G about romantasy, with a bit of ironic distance. What did they think fairies were about?

When later reached for comment, Wienerschnitzel said, "Fuck this. Fuck all of this"

Ysabel Yates'... I mean Cookie Monster's superb takedown of why GenAI in the workplace sucks.

Looking for a #USA based service to send a #fax to a US number. Alternatively a #SIP service with #T38. Any help appreciated.

Moel Siabod from across the Lledr valley this afternoon. There is a very fresh breeze as I gain height.

I finally turned my AI scepticism into a (short) essay: '10 Reasons for Refusing Generative AI'. I've tried to make it clear, accessible, and student friendly. Very grateful to all the AI resisters (many on here) who have helped me understand the issues. medium.com/@d.higgins/1...

In 2012-13, there were 51 UK universities offering Russian and East European Studies. In 2024-25, there were 32, and provision is shrinking further. Perhaps that's a serious security risk? www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/policy-and-r...
