I have made countless academic and research contacts via social media, meeting many in real life for coffee/alcohol. I have made contact with cousins I'd never met from different countries, and now met in real life. And I have a very necessary outlet for my peculiar brand of nonsense.

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Kelce is wearing a camp-style short-sleeved shirt with a bird print, along with a suede cap, and Mahomes is wearing a white collared shirt, a pink checkered double-breasted vest, and a pale pink tie.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

It has been an amazing experience to be President of @improvingpsych.org for the past year. There aren't many societies that would engage early career researchers in leadership, but SIPS is very special 🧡✨

Working on a theory. You know they way in Severance, when the employee exits the lift in Lumen they forget everything from the outside. And then when they return, they forget everything that happened inside? And so the cycle repeats. It is my sincere belief that cats are actually severed employees

To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert

When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

Open Research and Public Engagement Roadmap @engagedroadmap.bsky.social · 2d

Who gets to shape how research connects with the public?

We’ve spent 2025 asking that question through collective intelligence workshops with communities, NGOs, and researchers across Ireland.

Anyway, I'm super annoyed at Heather Humphreys this morning setting her prerequisite of being President as motivation to learn Irish, so here's a code 'creidimionat' to get my Irish language ebook of 150 resources for free. I've set aside 20 slots for that code.
