So the York flagshaggers call themselves “Flaggers and Litter Pickers” and the Scarborough branch is “Squeaky Clean Scarborough” and they probably tell themselves it’s subtle and not the massive dog whistle it is

Are we all still here? youtu.be/pHCdS7O248g?...

I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately. I’m in the throes of writing up my dissertation on the Ethics of genAI in further education. However, I’ve been accepted to present at @issotl.bsky.social this year and have won their emerging scholars award. Ive also achieved my SEDA fellowship. So it’s busy….

"Hi Gillian, yeah got some bad news about Salt Path, yeah, sorry, same as The Crown really, as your agent I should have checked in to the role a bit further, soz, anyway, I've got a script for a movie called Captain Tom here, reckon you'll be perfect for the daughter"

The amount of people going out of their way to watch this (including me) just shows that censorship does not fucking work. Every action the British state has taken against Kneecap only raises their profile.

@tomrobinson.com happy birthday! Will miss you on Sunday evenings, you’ve been a star! Promoting new artists - including playing my brother- Ric Birtill / Sic Turtle, a number of times in his different bands - alongside with 100s others You’re always generous, enthusiastic & will be much missed. X

@rhysmwyn.bsky.social it’s been a while……, ond mae @diervilla.bsky.social a fi yn gwrando o Efrog eto heno!

I get that there are genuinely complicated areas when it comes to trans inclusion but I will never vote for a party that allows for trans people to be barred from using their toilets. As recently as 2016, DONALD TRUMP, knew that this was wrong. This is something on which there can be no compromise.

Do you teach in Further Education? Could you help me with some research? If so please get in touch. #FurtherEducation #AmplifyFE #loveFE #ukfechat #FEResearch

Really proud of my wife!

It was a lot of fun writing a chapter in this book on vocational technical education with @mikebirtill.bsky.social

So proud to have co written a chapter in this book with @diervilla.bsky.social. We discuss The use of generative AI in technical vocational education.

November/ December gigs: Kneecap, The Twilight Sad, Union Jill, Hope & Social (possibly twice) Eliza Carthy with Jon Boden, and finally Irie Vibes in York. Proper Christmas line up :)

@hebtroco.bsky.social hi, I’ve bought your jeans, hats , jackets and more importantly action blankets . I’d like to get into some bother and write for you. Surely you need an article about modern Welsh language pop music or Preston Bus Station. Can write about beer & pies as well.

Fantastic afternoon and a huge thank you to Dr Katie Carpenter & Professor Graeme Gooday from @universityofleeds.bsky.social @hpsleeds.bsky.social who came to speak to Selby College Engineering & Electrical Installation Students about the history of women in engineering.

Hello / S’mae to my new followers / i fy nilynwyr newydd. I post about AI , pedagogy, beer, bicycles, brutalist architecture & music. There usually lot of posts about Wales and northern England too. Enjoy / mwynhau.

Indeed it was. Kneecap were fantastic this evening in Leeds

Most British people simply do not understand how big North Yorkshire actually is.

Came home to find this had arrived! Very cool! Working with @mikebirtill.bsky.social was lots of fun.

Congratulations @diervilla.bsky.social our National Teaching Fellow at the University of Leeds!

Bad tech, stop that! #AI There is a reason many of us dislike Blooms. Starting with Bloom’s taxonomy is not supported by any research on learning ⬇️ eppic.biz/wp-content/upl…

At a Leeds Digi Fest event about EdTech. So far digital natives and learning styles have featured… I have so much to say….

1934 Jeanie Dicks undertook 1st permanent electrification of Winchester Cathedral. The "girl engineer" (age 40) made international news. Electrifying nave meant removing & reburying coffins - except for Jane Austen’s which was moved gently to side b #OTD 25 Sept 1893 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanie_...

Sigh. The research we did on using AI tools for vocational teaching was not encouraging. It will be published soon…

@garethdennis.bsky.social can you follow me so I can dm you?

This is one of the many reasons why I love my wife…..

Not having breakfast and eating the free skittles and drinking coffee at our staff conference might have been a mistake.

Hello!

Is it any better in this place?
