Having spent the last week driving across the mid-west I've learned what everyone already knew.
The place is impossibly beautiful.
The sky is bigger than I've ever seen.
The horizon is further away than i've ever had to squint before.

Honestly folks, it's exhausting.

Be careful whilst driving here, folks.
Vista-fatigue is real.

My friend Jen was in a car crash a decade ago. Today she begins an epic four-week roll on the Camino after achieving her first self-propelled movement in ten years this past spring with this recumbent bike. Her journey is about so much more than bikes, but wow, that bike is cool.

Introducing Masto Reader. Like Thread Reader App, but for Mastodon.

How does it work? Mention @mastoreaderio(@mastodon.social) anywhere in a thread and say "unroll" and the little bot will do the rest.

Here's an example (that takes a bit to load for reasons)

https://mastoreader.io/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmastodon.gamedev.place%2F%40badlogic%2F111071396799790275

You can share those links with others.

Links to the crappy source code can be found in the bot's profile.

Everything runs in your browser. The server doesn't log anything either.

Enjoy and spread the word.

Classic.

For the curious, I've listed which font was preferred by Mastodonians vs. Blueskies, in every #fontbracket match where they differed.

Great game everyone! What kind of bracket should we do next time?

Next session at #LTCU2023 is close to my heart: thoughts on CPD among academic staff for more effective personal tutoring. The subtitle is important: “supporting yourself in order to support your students”.
Joined a good workshop this morning at #LTCU2023 on introducing Education for Sustainable Development. The capital letters indicate that this is A Thing rather than just a good idea or principle, and sure enough, there is a colourful set of boxes devised by and through the UN. Mastodon seems the right sort of place to share it, and it will be good to build these into teaching or identify how my existing teaching connects with these goals already and building in some language to connect it
Strong from Helen Williams: we shouldn’t have an inclusivity policy; all our policies should be inclusive. Yes! #LTCU2023
A team from Cardiff University’s Learning and Teaching Academy shares its definition of inclusive education that underpins how we conceive of the initiative. #LTCU2023
I like the way Manoharan is speaking about employability within #HigherEd It is realistic in terms of what students need from us during their time here but still consonant with the kinds of things we imagine we do here (I’m thinking especially of Arts/Hums/Social Sciences because that’s my wheelhouse, but I’m sure my STEM colleagues may also be nodding along.) #LTCU2023
