Now getting an enhanced-audio #audiobook, which drops on #Halloween! More info on RoAnnaSylver.com!
@actualham This whole article hurts my heart, but the story of the Whitewater Faculty Senate chair who left academia because she saw no future in Wisconsin #HigherEd really resonated with me. Same reason I left UW-Madison 5 years ago. Republicans have gerrymandered themselves into permanent control of the state legislature, and they are outright contemptuous of the UW System. @academicchatter
@kcarr2015@MirrorAyako@allstartrek I no longer care about this as intensely as I did 25 years ago, but the whole "separate power supply for the holodeck" thing is a load of nonsense that somebody came up with in the 90s to justify lazy creative choices (which, to be fair, may have been foisted upon them by Rick Berman or UPN execs). To see it used on modern productions by people with way more creative freedom than the Voyager writers kind of annoys me. These people should know better.
Huh. #NetGalley just gave me the top reviewer badge; someone at the publisher thought my review of Moved to Murder was good enough (despite being brief and critical) to be featured on the book's page.
@neilhimself god it's all so incredibly tender (both good and bad) to read and watch. We are truly in a special place with TV right now that we get access to this and some of the other truly beautiful stories which artists are rendering. I swear every week—I'm a psychotherapist—one of my clients references something to illustrate the pain in their own lives. Happened to me today with Sex Education (client referenced Maeve's mum's funeral), it's happened with Good Omens, WandaVision and others.
Damn I really do like the lemmy community more. On other social media aggregators, people are flipping the fuck out.
The more reasonable discourse about this article, on Lemmy is just healthier for everyone’s mental state.
That being said, I tend to agree this is a nothing burger and Leer Decks is likely fine for a few more years. It’s a low budget show and the writing is on point making a broad range of fans happy. I’ve heard this show has actually brought in a lot of new Trek fans too.
Alright, let's see how many Plant Scientists/Botanists we can reach here in the Fediverse.
Reply to this tweet with an introduction of yourself, what first attracted you to plants, and what you work on now. And boost this toot! #Planticipation#Botany#PlantScience
@ml I forgot to say what first attracted me to plants: walking through the woods in Virginia during my childhood, learning to recognize (and avoid) poison ivy and Devil's walking stick, reading the 'Foxfire' series on Appalachian technologies, and a certain fascination with magic and sorcery from reading Tolkien, Arthuriana and the like
@ml and what brought me to mushrooms was an eastern European girlfriend, of course! I tell the story in the special "Mushroom Issue" of Economic Botany published on the 50th anniversary of Valentina Pavlova and Gordon Wasson's ground breaking ethnomycological survey 'Russia, Mushrooms and History' who shared a similar mushroom honeymoon
@bryanalexandee I've had an abiding interest in disciplinarity and interdisciplinarity since a Stanford professor could not answer how his field (CALL - Computer-Assisted Language Learning) was a discipline. Disciplinarity is also a weak point of Indian academia, as you notice, e.g., with journals combining disparate fields. Therefore, I started a culmination of my work by explaining the difference between a field and a discipline, then I defined terms related to online education. If you haven't already read it, check it out some time: "Online Education as a Discipline" at https://doi.org/10.20935/AL434 or https://www.researchgate.net/publication/353073973
This can also theoretically help get around Netflixes password sharing restrictions
This is the interesting bit here. I assume others will follow in Netflix’s steps shortly (Netflix made a fuckton of money from this) but this would also help you circumvent this crackdown with your Apple subscription…
Yeah, I noticed they added some stuff and annoyingly tried putting it first. I just hid the crap i didn’t want. The live TV actually has a lot of options. I don’t really watch much TV these days but there’s been plenty to choose from so far. I think having the lifetime Plex pass makes it different.
@maikel@tiago@academicchatter Weren't there a bunch of bad-actor instances that mastodon.social and a bunch of other instances defederated from?
Also, the instance I'm on occasionally blocks mastodon.social when a lot of spam is coming our way and it seems to work out okay. Full defederation isn't the only option, there are several shades in between.
