#CovidIsAirborne
Time to clean the air that we ALL breathe indoors when away from home. If it's good enough for #WEF23 #Davos and UK #Parliament, it should be good enough for us ALL.
Please support this petition, and share with your network. Thank you.

I'm still flabbergasted at this tweet
@tern@twitter.com uses easy to understand language of actual papers, just like this news article from http://nature.com
@tern@twitter.com is a bird, but calling us "information terrorists" for pithy yet irrefutable communication on twitter is dehumanization
RT @msymeonides@twitter.com
I will pay you actual money to unfollow tern and AJL.

Henlo, frens! Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up.
I'm a white mid-30's #gendernonconforming nerd with #invisibledisablities. I'm here to make friends and influence people.

NAY: tomato sauces, corporatespeak, work pants, forgetting what I was about to say, needing to constantly add and remove layers in winter.
"Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. calls himself an originalist, someone who thinks the Constitution should be interpreted only by how it would have been understood by the Founders when they wrote it. So it’s no surprise that his draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade is full of history.
"At least seven times, Alito cited Sir Matthew Hale, a 17th-century jurist who didn’t think marital rape was possible because wives were the property of their husbands, and who sentenced at least two women to die for witchcraft. Alito also cited a legal text from 1250 by Henry de Bracton that, in another section, says women are inferior to men, and that they sometimes give birth to literal monsters.
"Alito confined his exploration of the past to legal history and English common law. But to assess how the Founders would view abortion rights, it’s necessary to paint a fuller picture of what abortion was actually like in the time of the Founders."

Someone asked me, "Why use 3rd party apps when an official Mastodon app exists?"
It comes down to this: being open source, Mastodon is built for choice.
Some people like vanilla ice cream. Others like strawberry or chocolate.
Well, some people like vanilla Mastodon. Others like strawberry @icecubesapp or chocolate @ivory.
The fact Mastodon allows 3rd party apps is one large reason it's better than Twitter.
It's nice that we all get to choose our preferred flavour of the Fediverse!

Hey all, would appreciate a post boost on this one.
I, unfortunately, got laid off last week and am looking for a new job! If you know of any going that fit my skillset of video content creation, educational CG writing, CG generalist then I'd love to hear about it!
In a world where you can be anything…
Be kind. ❤️
It’s super easy and makes everyone feel great!
Another Monday in a parallel universe. As HCWs, we spend our days dealing with patients who have #COVID19 (so many right now - of all ages), and helping patients with #LongCovid (of all ages), yet we have to explain to others why we won’t socialize or work indoors unmasked.

I’ve recently begun a new role as an advisor to the City of Reykjavik, Iceland. Stay tuned for some really interesting and exciting announcements. One of the best parts about what I get to do is the amazing diversity of cities I get to work with. Very excited about upcoming trips to get to know the city better. #Reykjavik #Iceland

Blumenfield, Kempler, and Krajcik (2006) suggest engagement in grounded in four factors:
Value- Learners tend to be engaged with material and lessons they believe are important to them. Value is also closely related to motivation, interest, and goals, all of which are addressed in the next section.
Competence- Learners tend to engage in activities they believe are within their abilities. Competence is grounded in one’s knowledge, their metacognitive abilities and their self-efficacy.
Relatedness- Learners tend to be engaged when they feel positive social connection to their peers.
Autonomy- Learners tend to be engaged when they can exercise choice about what they will study and their plan of study.
