My 16-year-old only wanted one thing for Christmas: a CD player. Her wish came true, so she picked through the 400+ CDs stored in our basement and selected about a hundred to listen to.
Having spent A SOLID WEEK listening to nothing but Elton John, she has now discovered a mix CD of Culture Club, the Thompson Twins, and Howard Jones and is playing it on repeat.
Please send help.

LizEllisPhD,

@gvwilson tbh, serves you right for having such atrocious taste in music. Now you know how your parents felt!

I wonder if I should have gone into a different field of study. @academicchatter

My current bonus is screaming dental pain. It genuinely feels like all my teeth are about to drop out. This is after previously having excellent teeth. Not sure I can rock dentures just now 😭

Yikes. Unless Mozilla sees a notable increase of users switching from Chrome to Firefox, our beloved privacy-first browser may lose support on government and commercial websites, further cementing Google's death grip on web standards. https://www.brycewray.com/posts/2023/11/firefox-brink/

LizEllisPhD,

@thegardendude so Firefox doesn’t charge to use, doesn’t sell my data and it doesn’t carry advertising. So why does it matter that it has low numbers? Explain like I’m 4 years old.

Life is a bit shite but this weekend has been a joy & reminded me why I do what I do. Just back from a brilliant writing retreat with the fabulous Anna from Ewen’s Room & our exceptional young peer researchers, Isla, Lyca and Lisa (+my colleague Sara not pictured). We now have a great 1st draft, genuinely & properly co-authored. So proud of what we’ve done & so touched by the trust shown & shared. @sociology

I’m increasingly feeling like I’m being targeted as a miserable user by Microsoft. The junk filter is clearly broken. I think I need a new email server. Three more came in just as I was writing this.

More spam!
And again more spam!

Do you want Ninja Turtles? Because that's how you get Ninja Turtles https://abc7.com/green-slime-nyc-sewers-new-york-city-lower-manhattan/14018262/

LizEllisPhD,

@AbandonedAmerica
I suspect this is probably leak detection fluid. Which could be good news if it supports the increased mobility of ninja turtles.

Finally got to mainline some nature today. The mist made it all the more wonderful. The silver birch dripping golden leaves were especially glorious. Hard to just chose 4

A magnificent tree with one large root exposed and sticking out like a leg. There are other trees in the background
The bridge at Little Garve. It’s misty and trees are either side of the river in colours ranging from bright yellow to copper and green
A close up of the bark of a young tree. I think it might be beech or ash. It’s an abstract of rusty brown white and dark and light green. The background is blurred.

Balmain's just having a laugh now, aren't they?

LizEllisPhD,

@Stoat I mean, they do look like they'd keep your feets warm?

LizEllisPhD,

@Stoat Depends on materials. I'm wondering about sinking my redundancy pay into a pair

LizEllisPhD,

@Stoat What, with the shoes? I'm not sure I#d be taken seriously!

LizEllisPhD,

@Stoat OK, I'm now cursing you for sending me down the path of Balmain and now I actually want a pair! I also really want these (and I'm not really into shoes much)

LizEllisPhD,

@Stoat I am literally cursing you right now. I have a job application to do and my 2 min break has led me down a warren of ridiculously expensive footwear and I don't even like fucking shoes!

LizEllisPhD,

@Stoat I have a very ancient pair of wooden toe post sandals which I can confirm deliver a painful whallop

LizEllisPhD,

@Stoat bitch

LizEllisPhD,

@Stoat @Penguinflight

literally crying laughing right now

LizEllisPhD,

@Stoat Oh, right. Shit, I don't think I have the spoons or stones to go self-eployed right now. I did discuss with a colleague maybe setting up a consultancy, but it didn't go anywhere and she's moved to Wales now

ok look I know this is really stupid and pedantic, but come on, we’ve had 26 years to learn this

It's Wi-Fi

not Wifi or WiFi or wifi or wi fi

Wi-Fi. Hyphenated. Both words capitalized.

thank you for coming to my ted talk

(while you're here, “log in" is two words when being used as a verb… your login button or link should not say "login”, because the action they take is to "log in”)

LizEllisPhD,

@marcoarment Dude, you keep on pedanting, you're doing the lord's work there!

Pic 4: nursing students at are NOT happy! They made a board to show their support and solidarity with staff being made redundant. It’s a large white board with lots of messages of support.

Student nurses understand the issues with recruitment in and areas of & , why don’t the folks in charge?
