ernüchterndes Gespräch mit Uni-Kollegen: wenn "prompt engineering" statt "kritisches Denken" nun als Schlüsselkompetenz für Studis und WissensarbeiterInnen ausgerufen wird, dann brennt die #Uni aber gewaltig - und von "Geisteswissenschaft" ist dann wohl bald nicht viel übrig.
😖
Gibt's hier Menschen, die für Lehrbücher schreiben und Erfahrungen teilen möchten? Will ich einen Total-Buy-Out-Vertrag für ein Lern-Heft einer Fernuni unterschreiben? Nein, wollen ganz sicher nicht. Will ich das Heft machen? Ja, durchaus. Zahlen sie gut? Geht so. Wie würdet ihr das angehen? sfz Gerne RT. #Lehre#Uni#Schreiben#Lehrbuch#AuthorBusiness#Autorenleben#writerslife#indieauthor
#Amazon#Canada: we are seeing Amazon roll out its despicable #UnionBusting tactics just like it has around the world. But we know the solution is global worker #solidarity
Absolutely loved "Cat Person" on Netflix. The film brilliantly portrays what it's like to date as a young woman, while masterfully exposing how society's expectations and pressures (and sometimes lack thereof) cause immeasurable harm to everyone. A must-watch for anyone who has, is currently, or will someday date other humans... Also anyone who appreciates the accomplishment of creating almost unwatchably cringe sex scenes.
Somehow our uni printing backend turned my 6MB PDF into 10 GIGABYTES... How? I have no idea. I had my worst printing experience today and got home with only 80% of what I wanted to print out 💀 It works normally but today (after giving up on uploading and using a USB stick) I had my funds run out mid-printing, then after that had the color run out mid-printing and after that it said I have no funds even though I charged my account again! #print#printing#uni#studying#computerscience#tech
I had just dropped my housemate at work, and arrived back home. I went around to the back of the car to get some things out, and walked on the grass. I actually looked to see if there were bees or bindis, and was thinking about how lovely the grass is by the car port, and how I wish the rest of our grass was so soft and lush.
By the time I got to the front door, my second toe right foot was HURTING. I was trying to remember if I stepped on a stone or something, I'm usually really good at noticing things like that, especially since being a diabetic means you have to be careful with your feet.
I got into the house and sat down to have a look at my toe, now worried it was a spider bite because it was so sore, and could see a tiny little black spot sticking out. I thought it was a bindi so I sort of scratched it out of my foot with my fingernail - rookie error.
It was the bee sting, and scratching it out like that pushed the rest of the venom into my foot. If you find a bee sting you should use the edge of a knife blade to scrape it out so you don't squeeze the venom sac.
Once I had a closer look at the sting and realised what it was, I took a huge dose of antihistamines and popped some steroid cream on the site because I'm allergic to bees.. they worked, and I'm ok, just a bit phlegmy and a slight BP drop (102/58), but no anaphylaxis.
The pain has moved from the burning fire in the toe to a generalised ache in the whole foot and all I want to do is curl up and sleep for like 13 hours.
I was supposed to write today.. do you think I can email my lecturer and explain that my work might be late because I got stung by a bee and that's about all I can handle for one day?
Eine Reihe von #Hochschulen hat in den letzten Monaten einen Auftritt bei #Mastodon gestartet.
Unsere Zusammenstellung von Logos zeigt sie alle auf einen Blick.
Und das Beste: die Logos sind alle auf die Mastodon-Accounts verlinkt (vielen Dank an Lisa!). Wer das pdf herunterlädt, kann sich somit schnell dahin verlinken und den #Uni-Kanälen folgen.

Ugh. I've just gotten most of the way through writing a paper about Kumanjayi Walker and realised that it should actually be about the media coverage of his murder and not the crime itself.
