A little intense about computers and languages.

She's sorry, but not as sorry as she should be.
May I please have £300k for this very Hobbit-coded 14th century watermill. It's a wildlife conservation area with otters and living here would fix me.

To not reinforce bad behaviour, I ignore my cats acting out for attention...unless they're doing something so dangerous or so destructive that I'm forced to step in.

After a long period of pattern matching, they now smash glasses and performatively chew plastic when they think it is mealtime.

Super normal and chill way to sit, little man. Very reassuring and not haunted at all.

Learning passive voice in Indonesian and my homework included an example with exeronative cop voice (Kaki demonstran itu tertembak.) and I am scrambling to find the vocabulary to learn more about its use in Indonesian because I am very chill and normal.

I love Anki. I want so badly to love to use Anki but the UI makes me understand why the owl app is so popular.

Can anyone recommend me a flashcard app that doesn't feel like pulling teeth?

Thinking about a deeply chaotic way to practice informal written Indonesian, should I make an insta account for my cats and detail their many, many crimes for language practice?

Setting up a new (secondhand) computer and this short, beautiful time before I'm logged into apps that send notifications is an active delight.

This is why I used to love computers.

Trying to send a bank transfer to an American account and spiraling as I wonder why America was allowed to have such an outsized impact on global affairs.

This doesn't need to be this hard. This is not a system built by a serious country.

Social media confession time, I have betrayed all of my core values and moved to London.

Birmingham remains the best city in the UK* and I was right to have made it the keystone of my identity.

Started my morning by talking to my Indonesian tutor about the current British weather to make sure everyone is as horrified as I am living in it.

Have just learned that eligible employees of the University of Essex get waivers for the full cost of their tuition, even if they're part time.

They would never get rid of me. I would do every single degree.

Saw a weird gift in the wild today and was lightly overwhelmed with remembering how much of web communication used to be gif based and seeing how quickly that changed.

I've had a lot of folks offering really lovely feedback about threads of ethical (not evil? less evil?) tech jobs I'll infrequently post here.

Is there anything I could be doing to make them more useful for y'all?

Every year on my birthday I ask social media to show me photos of their pets and tell me about their crimes so I can pass (joking) judgement on their misdeeds and I'm counting down to Dec to get to see everyone's cute pets.

Jess and Eda shared their experience as learners and educators - sharing their perspective on the impact of AI tools on learning, about the wider industry impact too. A smattering of doom and gloom alongside some hopeful learnings! #ffconf @ffconf.org @jesslynnrose.bsky.social @rivea0.bsky.social

Actively mad about how great of a speaker Sergès Goma is on stage at #ffconf

Funny, well researched, charming, beautiful slides, flawless delivery. 2026 conferences would be wise to snap her up for keynotes👀

Folks at #ffconf are posting cute pet photos so I thought I would break the streak and post my horrors.

If anyone is a first time conference attendee at #ffconf today and want a very* energetic conference buddy, come say hi.

*I am relentlessly excited. Very American. I’m sorry. It’s completely ok to escape my joy if it’s too much.

Things are just getting started at #ffconf and I’m just so excited.
