To say I am excited about this would be an understatement. To say I am a little bit terrified would not!

Actually, just really looking forward to it -- and really pleased to see SHARP continuing its accessible practices.

it's just a grid word search/anagram app. So you put in c?t and it gives you "cat", "cut" etc. It also shows anagrams, so "tic" etc. So you could be!

I have a request, please, friends of Bluesky... I have written an app for Android that helps you find crossword answers. I need 9 people, please, to test it on their devices for a couple of weeks (Google's policy). It will cost you nothing and I will be eternally grateful if you can help. Please!

yes, agree. 5 minutes is plenty of time to get someone onto a train, IF THE STAFF ARE READY IN ADVANCE. I thought that was the POINT of booking!

It's very frustrating.

Really looking forward to this roundtable on "Digital Humanities and Contemporary Book Studies"! It's one of the most exciting research areas out there, in my very biased opinion.

And I *might* even share a hot take about Heated Rivalry...
Screenshot that reads: Description Applying digital methods to the study of contemporary literary production and reception globally, speakers discuss the affordances of using digital humanities to approach a range of topics: the role of literary publishing agents, community formation through bestseller lists, the intersections between social media and the publishing industry, how collective identities are formed through literary distribution, and mechanisms of discovery for postcolonial literature. Speakers Angelina Eimannsberger (U of Pennsylvania) Laura McGrath (Temple U, Philadelphia) Jacinta Saffold (Emory U) Carmen Thong (Stanford U) Melanie Walsh (U of Washington, Seattle) Presiding: Brandon Walsh (U of Virginia)

Booked train assistance with @serailway.bsky.social on the 16.37. Got to the platform by 16.32. They wouldn't let me on the train and said there wasn't enough time. I miss being able to just turn up for a train without masses of planning. And hacked off, when I booked this, that they weren't ready.

Great thread about one person's experience of cochlear implants.

A bit late, but Monday this week (Jan 5) marked two whole years since I had my cochlear implant “activated”. To say it has been life-changing, in all the best ways possible, would be an understatement.

These alarms are trivial, but there are also serious alarms - like air bubbles detected. So every time an alarm goes off in the night, you have to check to make sure it's nothing serious. So you have to totally wake up. Hence why it feels miraculous when I get through a whole night with no alarms!

A very successful haemodialysis night with NO ALARMS. It's an eight-hour miracle and it's happened twice in a row.

(I normally get at least one venous low pressure alarm as my blood pressure changes when I go to sleep. If you roll onto the line, that's another alarm.)
