For me, and I’ve only been here for the past couple of days, this is/was the best session I saw at #iatefl2025. Amina Douidi on Diversity, Equity (Equality) and Inclusion. #DEI #EDInburgh !

Arrived in the city 🏙️ of #Edinburgh. Will be at the conference venue by 4.30pm. 🏃🏻‍♂️

Travelling up to #Edinburgh. I’ve never ever stayed in the city overnight, nor seen the Castle. Excited to see friends. Got my playlist on. 🎶 #Iatefl2025

Never mind #AI, I wonder how many talks at #iatefl2025 are about the hot topic of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) given that it’s the airport code for #Edinburgh ?

Today’s sole listen from the #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie book is a 1975 Roots Reggae record by Burning Spear (aka Winston Rodney). ‘Marcus Garvey’ (1975) and ‘Marcus’ Ghost’ (1976) on a cassette I’ve had since early 90s.

Just outside the top 200: teacherphili.wordpress.com/2024/03/29/v...

Today I listened to Bad Company on vinyl and Steely Dan’s Countdown to Ecstacy on an old cassette. Both released in 1973. Why am I doing this?

NEW! This is the final part of my #Cancer Diary Series. It is about 'retirement'. It discusses my recent decision to retire from ELT and reflects upon a lengthy essay (dissertation) I wrote 24 years ago at university.

With the upcoming debate in the UK parliament this week about the #AssistedDying bill, I have revisited my essay I wrote at the tail end of the year 2000 on this topic. It appears the arguments haven’t changed much in the past 24 years. One of my better pieces of writing. #Euthanasia #QualityofLife

deck.blue does for @bsky.app what Tweetdeck did for #Twitter. This does feel like 2012 all over
again. So far, so good!

Hopefully my last word on the slang interpretation of the word ‘skeet’ (supposedly what ‘tweets’ are on here). @rikabel69.bsky.social

Reviews of the beach in my hometown of #WellsnexttheSea often refer to the #BigBlueSky. Just one more reason to have that as my cover pic on 🦋 @bsky.app

Released on this day 9 years ago. The lead single from #Bowie’s final, remarkable swansong album #Blackstar was many things. That word evoked many memories. It was also the name given to a particular cancer lesion. I wrote about it earlier this year: teacherphili.wordpress.com/2024/03/29/v...
