How to get Twitter back on song? #NoMoreRetweets | John Naughton | Opinion | The Guardian Mr Naughton should be on micro.blog
Let me answer that question for you: For MOST* of us, audience DOESN’T matter. Stop talking about it. Period. End of conversation.

Today we’re unleashing Anchor 3.0, featuring a re-imagined mobile app built for effortless podcast creation
🔗 I’ve followed Anchor with interest and used if a wee bit in both of the earlier versions. But I don’t think I’ve the energy to dive back in this time. A pivot to far?

Many things that get labelled as “fads” might work for an individual teacher (although many things might work better) but they only become fads when divorced from their original meaning and then are spread around and are imposed on other teachers.
I’ve always been interested in the idea that changing almost anything in the classroom will lead to improvement. This post digs around the territory. We probably teach at our best when we are enthused and the beginning of a fad is enthusiasm.
It is cold outside, so a bit of baking. 📷

now entering her fourth winter of carefully embossing serif letters into light snowfall. Before this weekend, the most recent sentence, composed entirely during a snowfall in March, 2017, cut off in the middle:
Featured images, a montage of gifs from skipi, which is stuttering away. For no particular reason.
@rogueamoeba announces the end of nicecast. Fairly devastating news as there is nothing that is as easy to use for streaming to icecast from mac. Been a great app.
