A little intense about computers and languages.

She's sorry, but not as sorry as she should be.
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.

The waiver of tuition fees for staff is available for specific courses.

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.
November 14, 2025 at 9:52 AM
Things are just getting started at #ffconf and I’m just so excited.

If I've already failed to avoid buying used books on this trip, I might as well buy a small bag to check and load up on Spanish and Catalan language books while I'm here, yes?

Everything in the world is mostly still terrible and everything everywhere is still hard and I'm still weirdly hopeful.

Apologies to everyone who has to deal with me, cannot even imagine how annoying this is to deal with.
November 12, 2025 at 9:29 AM
Really excited to be speaking at this...oh dear, later this week 🫠
I decided to remake the confwall for #FFConf. A few weeks ago it seemed like a good idea. 3 days away from the event it seems less like a good idea.

Although, utterly consistant with my process for updating the confwall dating all the way back to 2009… 🤦

brb, I'm on a roll telling people what I think of them in great detail.

This serves as a warning for folks who know me to log off if y'all don't want to hear an effusive monologue about the things I respect about you.

Going to spend the next two days walking around Barcelona and trying not to buy any used books.

Learning some Catalan in the most chaotic good way possible: joining folks in the street as they say cute little things to their cute little dogs on their morning walks.

Headed off to Mozfest in Barcelona!

Come say hi if you're there and please do not tell me about any local used bookstores, I have no self control and will try to learn Catalan if I buy books...

Wondering how using AI coding tools impacts how we learn technical skills? Good news:

@rivea0.bsky.social and I are giving a talk about this at @ffconf.org in Brighton on the Nov 14th! There's still a few tickets left if you've been meaning to come along and say hello!
