At this time of year, I get up and watch a Hallmark Xmas movie in those moments. Usually half-napping, but that’s okay because the plots are all the same so I don’t miss anything. Cosy!

All three of Tracy’s dogs stand on a box. Two small red coloured dogs and one larger white dog.

The fun thing about touring in my camper visiting campuses is that I get to bring my pack with me (I built my camper specifically with this in mind - will share more soon). Starting my day in different private hire dog fields around the country is delightful. Today’s topped them all!

An open letter to university leaders: “now” is never the time to freeze training budgets — Pickle Jar Communications In times of financial crisis, cutting learning and development budgets appears to make sense.

Heading off on my tour again! This time I’m Liverpool bound. I had to stall it a little this week as I felt a bit poorly over the weekend. But now I’m good to hit the road again. If you haven’t seen what I’m doing: www.contentedlive.com/tracyontour

Nice to see @univie.ac.at has a starter pack that lists a whole load of their academics using Bluesky. I love it when universities take this kind of approach to amplifying their community voices and expertise: bsky.app/starter-pack...

Does anyone else get increasingly pissed off that adding alt text in Instagram is considered an “advanced feature”? It shouldn’t be an advanced feature. It should be totally fundamental to the core experience.

Just bought it and shared with the ContentEd community too since plenty of #highered content folks are looking at sustainable content practices right now.

Also, @weratedogs.com is here!

Now you've posted that, you'll probably see even more!

Started to curate a ContentEd list of folks in education content, web, comms, marketing: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Without doubt, one of my faves.

Heads straight to accessibility settings to switch this on...!
