"You know who else pivoted a table?"
Ah, how interesting. Given it's coming from first years, I did wonder if this was a template.
It is coming in from a lot of undergraduates writing to me for the first time, hence the ask...
...I am noticing a sudden influx of e-mails beginning 'I hope you are well'. Is this GenAI at work? Or some kind of 'how to write a professional e-mail' assist from Copilot/school training/something of that ilk? It is... oddly impersonal in bulk.
BE SO BRILLIANT NONE OF YOUR ENEMIES WOULD DARE LOOK AT YOU.
Hereford’s C14 pigs in blankets
Looking through budding plants towards a cove on a cloudy gray day during low tide. There is a burgundy building to the left, behind which you can see a wharf running out to a red building on the water. The far shore is visible as a dark line in the distance.
Several grey-and-white seagulls stand on a section of wet sand-and-silt ground, with one taupe and brown seagull in the group.
A black package of "Papa Rays Marketplace Cinnamon Chip Scone Mix" proclaims itself to be "Scrumptious" and making 8-12 moist scones "Because All Mixes Are Not Created Equal!"
A pair of cream/tan-ish brown triangular scones sit in a yellow container. One is more highly-glazed than the other, but both look tasty.
Played tourist with dear ones on Friday, baked scones (and fought brain & head) Saturday, and found interesting views Sunday :)

A black retriever puppy in the grass, retrieving a pink foam stress ball
A tiny black retriever mix puppy stands on a wooden stairway. She has just learned to climb them, and she looks happy and proud.
A tiny black retriever mix puppy with fuzzy earmuffs sits in the grass.
A tiny black retriever mix puppy sits in the grass, her earmuffs are larger and fuzzier than the last picture. She looks serious. I mean she isn’t, but for a moment she feigned seriousness.
The world is terrible, but not *everything* in the world is terrible. Proof? Puppies! Mine, specifically, but all the other puppies too, and especially yours, if you have one. If you don’t, I’m happy to share! #tinyjoys #uglydogs
You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.
No jury of your peers etc.
I'm forced to the conclusion that a certain type of pro-Israeli Western Christian doesn't actually see the place as real, and certainly doesn't see the Christians of the Middle East whose lives have been made much, much harder by the policies they back.
It's just a sort of apocalyptic theme park.
Do check this out. I was one of the near 10,000 writers involved in this protest. It’s just so grim that AI is nicking our work…
I'm in here. Or not. Or whatever I metaphorically am.
Lovely first job of the day - advising a Drama finalist on how to tweak a Latin motto from the St. Thomas Hospital operating theatre to fit the narrative of their Final Year Project performance and also be grammatically accurate. I love having joint honours classical studies/drama tutees.
Our founder and CEO has two kids under four on top of being disabled, chronically ill and neurodivergent, so we understand what people call 'the juggle struggle' or the 'motherload' more than many research support companies.

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music
Several dozen folks did
Some even dubbed music over the original clip.
I haven't been able to get this out of my head.
So I give you

Me - a short haired breasted person - on the summit of the Great Sugar Loaf, clad all in blue and holding hiking poles. The summit is a small outcrop of grey rock. In the background green fields rise to blue-brown hills across the valley, under a sky full of clouds.
#tinyjoys Walked up the Great Sugarloaf today (elevation about 500m) on a walk that amounted to about 11km, carrying my four year old in a backpack sling for at least half of it. Gorgeous albeit damp when the cloud came down.

Just a shout out to magnolias. Aren't they the most magnificent blooms?

Does mean I have to work out how to explain the resurrection, mind. No pressure.
After having had the Queer Beaches set-back once again, it is really nice to be looking at an R&R which essentially wants me to rewrite the first few pages.

Hedgehog drama last night - a thread #TinyJoys
The action starts with a middling-sized hedgehog going into the hut for a snack. 1/7
Learned how to use a drop spindle yesterday; tiny steps on my way to becoming a full fairy tale witch. #TinyJoys (Yes, I know Carabosse wasn’t actually a witch.) #fairytale #witchy
