It's #NationalShowerWithAFriendDay! 🛁

If showering with a friend is impractical in the confines of your bathroom (or you just don't want to see your friend naked), consider using an emergency drench shower!

These safety gadgets are found in embalming rooms to quickly rinse off formaldehyde or other dangerous chemicals that have splashed onto the embalmer's skin.

Don't stay in too long though - drench showers are plumbed into cold or tepid water only.

Eventually you have to accept that no matter how many different notebooks you buy, they won’t make you a better writer. For that, you need to spend a lot of money on the right pen.

So my university is bringing in a new bring your own device policy that requires device management software to be installed and ridiculous requirements like only App Store programs to be installed. I guess that means no more email or work on my phone or desktop pc at home then, nice easy way to force me to work to rule 🤷🏻‍♀️

Went for a nice walk around an RSPB reserve and spotted something for #lichensubscribe

Ok, so now that I’ve had a moment to breathe, let me take a few minutes to dive into the study I just published about Russian involvement in the 2022 truck convoy in Canada. The study can be read in full here: https://journals.lib.sfu.ca/index.php/jicw/article/view/5101

People worry a lot about losing knowledge — about "burned-down libraries".

Comparatively few people seem to worry about what happens if you take a billion books full of auto-generated, often-untrue junk text and *add* them all to the library.

In theory, nothing is lost. In reality, everything is lost, because nothing useful can now be found.
