Re-post: I would like to ask for your help.

As part of my dissertation project, I'm aiming to collect a large research sample to help construct a validated measure on Teacher Attitudes towards Multilingualism.

If you are a teacher (primary, secondary, tertiary education), and you teach multilingual students, could I please ask for 10 minutes of your time?

The survey is available here:

Please boost—thank you so much!

This morning, Y7 class:
"...you'll remember we already know of four types in Python: Booleans, floats, integers and strings.
Respectively, the bad type, make your mama sad type, make your girlfriend mad type, and might seduce your dad type."

HIVE MIND and also maybe BRITISH HIVE MIND, here is what I need, should you have any faves to proffer:

Obscure but hilarious British tv comedies that lasted 1-3 seasons and nobody could be bothered to pick them up for streaming except some dank corner of the streaming universe, like Roku Channel or whatev.

CRITERIA:

• preferably TVMA or 16+
• No laugh-tracks (this disqualifies most shows from being good and, frankly, is distracting and archaic and condescending as fuck)
• not super-popular (basically if it's like Fleabag or Green Wing and on a mainstream streaming service and internationally recognized as brilliant, I will pretty likely have seen it
• made roughly 2008ish to present
• has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with Ricky Gervais
• narrative storytelling e.g. NOT faux-documentary

As some guidance, here are shows of the ilk I am in the market for (and thus have already seen [AND RECOMMEND]):

Plebs
Bluestone 42
Crazyhead
Porters
London Irish
Toast of London
Zomboat
Cockroaches
Fresh Meat
White Van Man
Time Wasters
Back
Upstart Crow
Sirens
Raised by Wolves
Detectorists
The Bleak Old Shop of Stuff

Any suggestions welcome and thank you! 🍻

I'm listening to last week's long guided non-dual meditation from Michael Taft ( @oortcloudatlas ).

"So we begin, as usual...
(Beat, then completely deadpan)
By invoking our Lord Satan...
...sorry. Wrong room."

And this low-key made my day.

If your music provider's 'year in review ' isn't 70-100% Rain sounds, Air conditioners and guided sleep meditations did you even like, have a 2023?

Bizarre that people keep using the phrase "marketplace of ideas" like it's a good thing.

Cause, yeah, unregulated capitalism has a track record of leading to excellent outcomes?

Once a week, I pull a lateral move and go for a walk without notice cancelling close-back headphones, and, when taken in in small doses, the sonic assault of the urban cacophony can be almost enjoyed for its complexity, like a pinball for mindfulness.
