It is partly that & have to be more careful with my time but also I just find Bluesky a bit dead and a bit too US-focused and couldn't find a way to change it that didn't require a lot of effort. Not sure no algorithm is the way forward, something between "here's nazi content" and tumbleweed be nice

If you are someone i have a reasonably personal connection with (and by that I mean we'd happily go to the pub just the two of us), then feel free to add me on Insta or Facebook. But it is all personal nonsense. www.instagram.com/emily.nordma...

Not that I think anyone missed me but a check in to say multiple professional social media accounts have become too much and for a variety of reasons, LinkedIn is a better solution (even if it gives me the boak), so if you have missed me, please find me there. www.linkedin.com/in/prof-emil...

I think it's unhelpful but unfortunately still a very, very common misconception (and the generation it applies to seems to update to "the one after yours") rather than any fixed period.

So…there’s, like, a whole area of motivation research about how motivation doesn’t necessarily need to come from interest (e.g., productive, autonomous extrinsic motivation, how to productively regulate one’s motivation, etc.). It’s not a new thing, either. selfdeterminationtheory.org/theory/

⛰️Ben Cruachan & Stob Daimh (#57-58). I was worried about these to point of budgeting time for a panic attack, but like much of life the thought of it was worse than actually doing it. There's a slabby bit that was described in some reports in such a way that it sounded scary but was entirely fine..

Asking students to complete a volitional help sheet e.g., ‘IF I am tempted to miss a lecture because I have a deadline approaching’ THEN I will remind myself that attending lectures should help me get a higher mark) increased overall attendance rates but also delayed missing any lectures by 2 weeks

Always impressive to read an educational RCT and I'm immediately interested in anything that frames lecture attendance through a lens of self-regulation rather than punitive attendance policies or removing recordings. #AcademicSky bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I'm not saying the SNP have not had their own issues but at this stage, I contemplate that a Tory government might have been better in that bc Labour have no values, there's a chance they would have opposed systemic transphobia to distinguish from the Tories whereas they have no opposition.

At the last UK election I went back-and-forth about whether to vote Labour, I didn't want to risk waking up to a Tory government knowing I'd contributed. But I couldn't stomach the warning signs on LGBTQ rights and voted SNP and the only good thing is knowing I am not responsible for this hellscape.

1st summit in fog but stunning views of the Cobbler at 2nd. Without Kathleen to remind me to take a break I tend to berserk my way up & my legs currently hate me. Last 6k or so on a gravel road, which was quick, if uninspiring. Route from @walkhighlands.co.uk www.walkhighlands.co.uk/lochlomond/t...

Planned a munro today but my wife woke up a bit run down but I was in the "I need to see mountains again Gandalf" zone, so with wifely blessing (I didn't just abandon her), I took myself up a couple of Corbetts, The Brack and Cnoc Còinnich. An almost scramble ascent in places and then pathless bits.
