Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling.
I’ll start: you can buy an enormous TV from Costco for like $100 bucks now.

Gearing up for first spring sowing. It is inspiring to see all the summer harvests of our northern hemisphere gardeners on here.

Problematic Paper Screener: Trawling for fraud in the scientific literature
Science sleuths are stepping up efforts to detect bogus science papers. This includes building tools that comb through millions of journal articles for signs of tortured phrases spawned by AI.

I started a terrarium with moss from my garden. I planted it in coarse sterilised sand, moisturised with water and yoghurt. Can anyone tell me how this will end? 😱

Pottery and gardening 🌱 are somewhat similar. You get a shot at creating beauty from the earth, using your body, the elements and time. Both need lots of care. You will probably get dirty. Outcome may pleasantly surprise you or disappoint.

I would love to offer a short online workshop to African or maybe any international students on how to apply for a USA PhD in the humanities/ social sciences. It is a genre with its own hidden script… any interest? @ssrc.org @mellonfoundation.bsky.social @jsas-journal.bsky.social #Academicbluesky

It still needs to be glazed. I am thinking matt translucent glaze, but I feel like the design is not quite done yet. What is it that is lacking? Suggestions?

I can hardly believe that it is raining and snowing in other parts of the world. We have had a week-long heatwave in Central South Africa. The garden is barely surviving. 🌱 = 🍂
I can't take any pictures as it is too depressing.

Anyone heard of pottery addiction? I think I may suffer from it. Help. Or maybe it is just procrastination. Anything not to write that research proposal. 📝🎓
