Aaron Davis (collect.readwriterespond.com)I have learnt that it is very difficult to do ‘deep work’ without a wife, especially when you are trying to work in a shared space.
I am not doing deep work, just trying to teach online. Despite the fact I am fairly tech literate with a good connection and no children at home I am finding things really time and head space consuming. I’d be in an even worse place if I didn’t get amazing support from my wife.

“We’re noticing more students shutting off video feed in gatherings ... all sorts of possible reasons but students grappling with the visibility of poverty is the one I worry about the most, as well as who gets ‘seen and valued’ in Distance Learning settings ... #nwp #clmooc”
This is interesting in the context of @GlowScot

Park Birds, I am pretty sure there is a “duck’s back” joke on the second one.
Get Drunk
…So as not to feel Time’s horrible burden that breaks your shoulders and bows you down, you must get drunk without ceasing.
But what with? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you choose. But get drunk.

Aaron Davis (collect.readwriterespond.com)What is sad and confusing are the people who publish great threads while leaving their WP.com site lying dormant. At the very least, users could copy the unrolled thread and past the content in a space they somewhat manage and have the ability to update?
I was joshing about that last night:
There are a ton of great resources and ideas for teaching zooming past on twitter at the moment. It would be great for some to go to a slower stream or garden.
“@johnjohnston @Miss_Anderson @athole @StephenReidEdu @IanStuart66 @claganach I have no time to write a blog ”
Can’t argue with that, but I will 😉 Mine saves me time, ’cause I can refer to, writing posts especially one I don’t publish let me think through things and a lot of my posts are tweets too, like this one. I am sad when resources are only shared on twitter and lost in the stream.
