Wowzers you need so much coffee and time to update Blackboard pages from scratch - we need to update content one by one with the Ultra platform update, no easy migration - to make it worse I've been on mat leave and research leave, and I have 1 week and I don't even know what I'm looking at guys 😅

Letting all our lights shine this month in our interfaith family with homemade latkes and homemade mince pies ... but this year's mince pies won't have apple! I have a good friend who is allergic to apple but they celebrate Christmas and hence this year's batch is apple-free. Mrs Beeton's recipe /

Kids, don't let your training dictate your entire teaching/research destiny. Industry/academy life stories, both humanities and sciences, are full of versions of "I trained as an archaeologist, but now I'm an art historian."/"I trained as a biologist, now I'm in chemistry." /

Time to check for dead links on my toolkit website! Very sad when a database (usually the university-hosted ones) goes defunct from lack of funding/maintenance. There should be some provision for archival capture and open source since it happens so often. Don't just let your beautiful database go!

Bring back the 90s: start with encyclopedias, boredom, & video tape. Mass hysterias were not weekly occurrences and few people had such extreme political opinions that "became their whole personality". Mass hysterias and fads were Beanie Beanies and boy/girl bands, not zombifying TikToks. Whazzup.

I just received a FOI request for any content warnings on my unit on Ancient Israel and if so, reasons why. I was happy to oblige with my honest response that I don't have any content warnings on any of my units. The Bible doesn't require a content warning or a trigger warning.
