Help me collect some meaningless data for student examples! 8 questions of mostly meaningless, unidentifiable variables - pineapple on pizza? marble cake is the best flavor? etc. - for generating student examples. Thanks in advance!

Amazing time at the Leap Scarecrow festival. Loved some of the really 'local humour' like the one of the parish priest meeting the Pope 😂

Holy shit twitter just rolled out audio and video calling and made it the default setting that ANYONE you follow can call you.

Go into your settings and turn it off for your own safety:

Back from an amazing holiday in the Sussex Wealds. Absolutely beautiful and fascinating place to spend a few days sans child. Now I've got a serious case of the Sunday nights!

Since moving to Mastodon and then Bluesky I'm still finding the different audiences and divides between the two a little strange. Hopefully it will settle into something within not too long! Or perhaps that's okay and it's my mindset that needs to get used to it!

Hello! Giving BlueSky a go in my ongoing search to find something that works better than Twitter now works.

I'm involved in open access book publishing, building open infrastructures and creating communities interested in #OAbooks.

Also 💙 football (LCFC), theatre, & compulsive doomscrolling.

Today was the first meeting of the Stanford LitLab, and I thought I'd get into the spooky spirit in a dress of dead DH projects. Can't guarantee it's totally free of editorializing... #DHsewing
