A good thread on the fire yesterday in central Glasgow

This skeet and replies are a really good discussion about the state of therapy in the UK, particularly the over-abundance of bad mechanised CBT-by-rote.

A great thread on the gender politics of choral music, particularly the veneration of boy choirs.

I am completely confident, though, that nothing the US government has done in my lifetime has been _both_ more evil _and_ more stupid than the current war.

I'm 53 years old. I'm sure the US government has done things during my life that were more evil than the current war, although right now I'm struggling to think of one. Probably the US government has done stupider things than the current war.

Exciting! This podcast is fantastic

Oof.

the Patriots playing like shit in the Super Bowl is the next best thing to the Eagles making it

Noooo! What about our friendship!?!?

It’s an amazing garden, I was delighted to stumble across it last autumn when taking my partner for a scan.

working at a wealthy uni that continues to rank highly and report a surplus and yet somehow is well into the items on tweet 3/4, thanks consultants

A small brown building labelled “Duck Feeder” on the edge of a grassy area

#SomethingBeautiful there’s now a duck food station at Blackford Pond in Edinburgh where you can pay £1 for a batch of food that’s much better than bread for the birds.

5 classes I took as an undergrad because I wanted to:

I’m very lucky to have had a high quality liberal arts education

@jtfd.bsky.social some Great Lakes freighter content for you. (Spoiler: boats all now unstuck)

It took so much work and advocacy to get the Park Service to mark the lives of the enslaved workers in George Washington's house in Philly, and it's so heartbreaking to see the blank wall now. It's disgusting that the US government is deliberately erasing those lives.

Since I now have a tattoo that matches my handle, I must be a bsky power user, right?

Now leaving bsky for at least the next 24h to detox.

Thanks to "well-meaning" "allies" I've now seen the homophobic shit some people are saying about Renee Good, as people repost it on bsky to talk about how bad it is. Look, folks, if you think you're queer-supporting and feel compelled to post this sort of crap you really need to check yourself.

Also, the only time in history that riding an exercise bike has been fun

Just got it, watched first ep last night. My hot take is it’s really fun

Stepped off the path to have a wee 200m from the car park. Sliced my leg open on a branch. 15 stiches.

Also only really feasible cos only a few maths publishers , who do consistent solid colour covers

I shelve my maths books by colour and then by authors surname, cos a lot of times I remember what the book looks like. When I forget, though , it’s a giant pain.

Oh boy, it's gonna be a great year.
