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.

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.

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👀

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

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.

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… 🤦

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.
