Me: alright, before this meeting starts, I want everyone to go pee. I don’t care if you don’t feel it, you need to try.

Masks don't adversely affect children's ability to learn, their development, or their physical health (but viruses can). Masks don't adversely affect children's immune systems (but #COVID19 can). The health
and safety of children should be our priority. #BringBackMasks #WeNotMe

If you download your Twitter archive it arrives wrapped as a static HTML page, which is not very useful for doing anything with, and worse: it requires the original account to be still active to do useful things like enlarge the images since they use t.co links.

So here's a Python script to convert a Twitter archive to markdown or other formats: https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser

Now you can archive your tweets in any way you want.

this is what Ontario residents receive for failing to vote in provincial elections.

Many journalists called this a 4-6 years ago, when media units covering provincial politics were discontinued.

So the most powerful level of government in the Canadian system gets almost no attention.

Municipal govt. is created and regulated by the province, so it can do what it wants. And Ford wants to discontinue its ability to impede property speculation.

I HAD to bring this gorgeous Norwegian #rock face with me from the bird site :)

This rock face was likely #gneiss, a foliated #metamorphic rock where light minerals and dark minerals form in alternating bands due to high heat and pressure. This rock was further complexly folded and refolded during continental collisions and mountain building.

The rock face also has an unusual & beautiful texture caused by the more erodible bands partially eroding.

What I remember the most about taking this photo was the full sprint with all of my gear down the beach immediately after snapping this to try to avoid the downpour. ⛈️ ⛈️ 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♂️

I was unsuccessful in avoiding the soaking.

This is Mackay Lake. It's a light snowfall, 4-5 cm.

@RussInCheshire Did you know you can make a rainbow on your wall by shining your mobile flashlight (with a diy slit disc) through a red wine glass filled with water? 🌈🍷📱#scienceteacher

The right mask makes it easy to teach, perform, or speak in public.

Open tunings make it easy to play guitar with just one finger, like I am here - it helps if you change the song a bit!

Apparently Joni Mitchell used lots of open tunings to compensate for weakness in her hand due to polio.

Yesterday I taught a lab on atomic spectroscopy and, while casually answering a student question, said “well, this is after all how we know what stars are made of” and

Their eyes got REALLY BIG. “WHAT.”

Great moment!
