@davecormier @wfryer Yes, a fresh start is nice! While we carry the seeds of doom with us, hope for the better travels with them, too. 🤣

@wfryer he didn’t surprise me. I figured he was a poopy-head after he started treating people who worked at Twitter so badly. It just got worse. What I have trouble with is how folks got mad when I told them what was going to happen and that organizations should establish themselves on Mastodon. But orgs decided to take a wait and see attitude…would a fascist billionaire get worse? A silly question since you either are a poophead or you are not at his level. 🙃 They were afraid to lose their time investment in Twitter.

I have been on Twitter since May, 2007. What dumpster fire 🔥 for educators, and other special pops and communities who found a voice.

Now, our focus needs to be building our own space, and hope the masses decide to come. And if they don’t, at least, we have the benefit of hindsight.

This beautiful church, my favourite in Venice, stands at the entrance to the Grand Canal. Taken at a winter sunset.

My daughter's HS science teacher is insisting that their lab reports be written in the passive voice - "Data was collected..." because it "sounds more scientific". I spend a ton of time trying to break my students of this habit.

Here's just one resource I use to convince students otherwise, from Scott Hotaling's excellent "Simple rules for concise scientific writing".

@wfryer Amaroq is the only iOS app? Did you mean to write MacOS app? Maybe I misunderstood? Nice points, Wes, in your piece.

I’ve been preparing to possibly stop using Twitter for quite awhile. I set up and started infrequently using a Mastodon account back in 2017.

Some fit easily into existing teaching practices and have seen widespread adoption, including platforms like Kahoot!

If you are having discussions in your spaces regarding and - maybe this slide deck can help. I have assembled a bunch of resources in a pretty decent structure. As I find things, they get added - time to get those chats started!

@adamdavidson

Adam is absolutely right. Journalism needs to take ownership (finally).

Journalists need to invest in the fediverse. The fediverse will help journalists thrive, and the fediverse will thrive because of journalists.

Nobody has the luxury of waiting. Universities, brands, companies, and journalists need to move to the fediverse now. Or get in line for your AOL keyword.

Hi all - I abandoned the other place in November, but didn't post an #Introduction. Here it is.

#Boro supporting Northerner exiled on the South Coast of England.

Interested in the #FermiParadox, the cosmological #DistanceLadder, the relation between #Science and #ScienceFiction - and have written books on these and other subjects.

Fascinated to see if #EdTech can improve learning, particularly for #Physics and #Maths students.

What else? I have a BIG collection of #Asimov books!
