Went to a PD today that was actually useful. I now have to ask, any Aussie (ideally QLD) teachers using eSports as part of the 10-12 curriculum? Looking for cross-curricular use. I have plenty of plans and budget but finding it a hard sell.

Interested in an advertised job, but if I was successful I would lose 12 weeks of earned long service leave... Not sure I want the new job that badly.

@drake What's mathstodon like? Do I need a handle in that instance too?

Just discovered that the World Cup match balls have microchips in them and I am a little obsessed. Going to use them as a TOK object for sure. fivethirtyeight.com/features/t

Figured I should spread the music love on both my instances;
Went to a metal gig last night as my mate's band The Lost Knights were opening. The next band, Windwaker were new to me but I loved them so much I bought a shirt. Then Northlane hammered it home. Great night of some Aussie metal.

Dear Jim,

Please paint the brave little toaster in bed with two slim sexy soldiers (the bread type), smoking a cigar with used pop tart wrappers strewn across the floor and an empty tub of 'I cant believe its not butter' on the side. To the side of the room, an egg has walked in to find the scene and has spurted his yolk everywhere in anger, as the soldiers are HIS bitches. Also note he has matching Marmite curtains and bedsheets with slogan, keeping toast filthy since 1914.

Thanks,

Looked out the window and saw something red by the fence. Some tomatoes had self sewn a few growing seasons ago! Let the harvest begin!

Dear Jim,
Please paint me John Virgo re-enacting the famous Sgt Elias death scene from Platoon with Jim Davidson looking on disapprovingly; the Make or Break round is ruined!
Thanks,

Dear Jim,
Please paint me a guinea pig version of Burt Reynolds on a sun lounger being served drinks by Hulk Hogan wearing only the top half of a tuxedo.

moment today when I got a thank you note from a student, "for the tailored memes and the laughs that crack through a tedious and sometimes overwhelming amount of content". Nawww.

Dear Jim,
Please paint me a Tyrannosaurus Rex playing Connect 4 with Heston Blumenthal on a lake of fire whilst a care bear watches them lustfully.

Imagine a piece of tissue paper.

Coat it with cyanotype chemicals.

Fold it into an origami crane.

Let it be a crane for a while, in any place with a bit of light. Ignore it, play with it, whatever.

After a while, unfold it. Develop.

You'll get an image.

The image is the memory of it's experience as an origami crane.

Repeat. Every crane's experience - and hence every image - will be unique.

Here's 4 out of the >750 I've made so far.

My ink arrived! Now I just have to use up the ink in the cartridges so I can then start using the converters in my fountain pens.

Dear Jim,
Please paint me Jimi Hendrix explaining to an owl on his shoulder what a stick of chalk is, near a forest.

Not that I mind either way, but there seems to be more cat related content than dog related content. I'd be keen for insect and reptile content myself.

"Try reading the following out loud:

Hashtag screenreaders for the hashtag blind and hashtag VisuallyImpaired read every hashtag HashTags out loud and so it's hard for people with hashtag VisualImpairment to get the sense of the post because it's being constantly interrupted by well-meaning hashtag accessibility hashtag allies.

Easier to read with a block of hashtags at the bottom:
#screenreaders #VisuallyImpaired #blind #allies #Hashtags #accessibility"
