I am going to stick some triggers warnings in here, and none of this is a "cry for help" or wanting sympathy, it's context. This dismissal of the impact of burnout is harmful. Whereas @carladenyer.bsky.social acknowledgment is important. 1/5

I've had several people tell me it's just a quote, totally legit, issue is only in my head. It's always really strange when people, not personally tuned to the subtle judgments applied to a thing, absolutely refuse to accept the possibility that maybe others hear a broader range of frequencies.

Lovely event honouring Nick Drake last night.

Great show by @misterabk.bsky.social in Cambridge today! (And so I do my job: @algebraist.bsky.social, you should go and see the postponed Canterbury show on Sunday!)

The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military. The Government have tried to appease him, then they tried to say they're standing up to him. Words aren't enough - it's time for action.

God help us.

The place to be today, at the @togetheralliance.bsky.social march! And great to hear @zackpolanski.bsky.social speak for the second weekend in a row 😀 Hope is in the air!

Zack has definitely made hope normal again! Excellent speech as usual, and what a turnout for a day of leafletting this has managed to attract 💚

Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · 6mo ago

So excited to welcome Ingrid Flaubert - who has just defected to join the Green Party. She's joined us because we're the party of hope - with a plan. Let's go, Cambridge! 💚

In #MathsToday, while the teams work on the shuttle rounds, we get to have a look at the short-listed posters on Voronoi diagrams. @ukmathstrust.bsky.social

It goes without saying that competition papers require marking, and all British Olympiad papers are marked by UKMT volunteers, predominantly in person. Our most recent marking weekend took place in London, with 60 volunteers travelling to mark the BMO Round One papers. #UKMT #maths #mathstoday

A bit late kicking off #ChemAdvent day 1, but here we are! This year I'm finding chemical connections between some previous ChemAdvent editions 🧪 First up, earthy pyrazines are the connection between the smells of chocolate and green bean casserole 🍫

Every day of December, in the lead-up to the Christmas holidays, we will be posting a seasonal question from our platform. The questions will be linked to from: isaacscience.org/pages/202512... #ChatPhysics #iTeachPhysics #SciTeachUK #EduSky🎄

#OnThisDay in 1859, Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species was first published. Much of the original manuscript was used as scrap paper by Darwin's children. On the back of this painting of a house is an original manuscript page from Origin! #CambridgeUniversityLibrary (DAR 185)

Happy bonfire night! Enjoyed giving a quick talk about the science of fireworks at the Ray Dolby Centre tonight. Since I couldn't do the live demos there, they were pre-recorded in the morning, so here they (see comments) are for everyone's benefit! #ITeachChem #RealTimeChem #EduSky #ChatChemistry

The Home Office claiming there is no evidence that one moved to the UK with one's parents, as a child, hits rather close to home... (Lest a team turn up at my door, I did, after many stressful months, get the decision to deny me permanent residence overturned and indeed am now a British citizen.)
