Ohhh really? Tell me all about it. Please

Most has gone from the web, best impact was back in 2005! Some on the wayback machine 

A few details in this 2013 video:

apologies for quality.

My class, different school, blog poetry  including some written in Teams during lockdown

Replied to bookmarked: Pluralistic: 13 Aug 2020 – My Origin Story by Aaron DavisAaron Davis (collect.readwriterespond.com)
In light of his induction into the hall of fame, Cory Doctorow reflects upon his origin story. It makes me think that every origin story is unique. What stood out was that although Doctorow had support from a number of people his development involved keeping on going.

Thanks for sharing this Aaron, there are not many examples of successful people acknowledging the help they had on the way to that success. This brings some well needed reality to the idea of a meritocracy. Mr Doctorow does this beautifully.

First week back...how’s was yours? Would love to hear others thoughts on their return to school

I am in a good place, my class all pupils I taught last year, gone from a 4-7 multi-composite to 6-7 will cut down planning & prep. Having emptied the room before summer means I can’t find the duct tape and am missing my cardboard mountain. Mask on when I move about the room.

Personally, I have been thinking about the possibilities of creating an alternative feed for Micro.Blog without the heading.

Hi Aaron,

I’ve got a snippet in my functions.php that removes titles from posts categorised as micro that have less than 280 characters in the content. That could be adapted. It is number 6 in the gist.  Some of the other functions in the list are a bit out of date.

Looks like a fascinating read. I didn’t find an expert. I find I learn to notice with a hint. I’ve walking same bits of countryside for years. Recently I’ve got my eye in for lizards. I see more & more basking or wriggling in the grass. #tds1856

If Twitter killed the RT and the # it could only be better for the world. They didn't make this monster, they just did what the monster wanted for 10 years, in the hope of making millions. They've done that, perhaps now they need shutting down.

@everythingabili See Micro.blog, likes are private, no follower counts,  RT not available: What’s the difference between Micro.blog and Twitter? – Micro.blog Help.

You either practice social distancing or you don’t. This is exactly the vague ambiguity that Westminster has been guilty of. And, up and until now, mostly resisted in Scotland. If you practise social distancing you plan around it, instead of enacting a policy of wishful thinking https://twitter.com/Emma_Seith/status/1286297934607327239

I was disappointed by being “free to choose” to wear a mask or not. ‬I don’t have the knowledge or understanding to make that decision. It also seems it would be better if everyone did same thing? I’ve been reassured by Scot Gov decisiveness & clarity so far…

#tds1850 Guesswork matters https://daily.stillweb.org/tds1850/

failure and hope are the very things that have propelled human progress to date

the loss of the random and serendipity are worrying too. #tds1850

Loved the linked photoset of kids playing, outdoors & sometimes, somewhat risky.
