Your periodic reminder that if you:

a) Dislike long threads and;

b) Follow someone who routinely posts long threads;

that is a YOU problem, which you can solve by unfollowing, and, if need be, blocking that user so they don't show up in your federated timeline.

"Federal government modelling has predicted a shortfall of more than 4,000 teachers by 2025. Last month, the New South Wales government revealed a 42% drop in casual teacher numbers meant 10,000 lessons in the state were going without a teacher each day. We also know the number of students enrolling in teaching degrees has dropped 12% in the past ten years. Of those who do enrol, only 50% finish the degree and 20% of those who graduate leave the profession within three years. "

• so no!?

DinoCevolatti, 8 months ago to music

Hi Folks,
Here's the album I've been working on for over a year now, inspired by the art of Dirge (artofdirge.com). Each of the four pieces has been written to reflect the four fictional cults of fantastical creatures of Dirge's imagination, to go along with the 40+ artworks he has produced for a card game "Shards of the Icosahedron".
When he asked me to perform the pieces at his launch, I went back to the drawing board to figure out how I could do that unaccompanied without a backing track. Eventually I devised a system for live-looping and syncing with the drum machine with no overdubs, which is what you hear on these recordings.
I will release the album either on Fri 13 or Halloween and there will be a launch in Castlemaine sometime soon so stay tuned!
Cheers!

Hey Folks,

I've been learning a lot about #Autism over the last few years as I have come to understand that it is a persistent feature of my life. Here's a few things that I'd like to share with you about what I've learned:
