@LitTam it’s an ADHD thing I think. I ignore it until it gets too much then go a bit mad!
I’m decluttering. If it’s not tied down, it’s not safe. My family of hoarders may hate me.
I’ve connected with quite a few US #academics on here. Looking forward to sharing experiences across the pond!
Need to find more academics on here. Any recommendations? #LTHEChat #AcademicChatter #academicmastodons

ACCESSIBILITY TIP: Adding emojis to your display name is terrible for people who use screen readers.

I was just reminded by someone that when you do this (as I had done), then they have to listen to the screen reader read out all the emojis/icons BEFORE getting to your actual post.

So my name came across as:
----

----

Thank you to the person who reminded me of this!

Rishi Sunak has just stated the way to lift children out of poverty is to ensure they are not in workless households. Untrue. The facts: 5 million children in poverty. Over 2/3 s in households with someone in work. Poverty wages have broken the link between wages & security.
