I’m really looking forward to getting my paws on this. Chris’ last book is probably the best all-round primer on teaching ready. I’m sure this will be equally good.

Stunning 2,000 year-old Hellenistic mosaic glass bowl looking like a Starry Night! 💫 Tranlucent dark blue glass with opaque white spirals. From Canosa di Puglia. Landesmuseum Württemberg, Stuttgart, Germany 📷 by me #AncientBlueSky 🏺 #Archaeology

A hemispherical bowl made of mosaic cast glass. Translucent dark blue with opaque white spirals. There is slight corrosion and weathering of the glass. The bowl has been restored. Height: 7.2 cm, diameter: 13.1 cm.

The effect of the museum lighting shining through the blue glass with white swirls brings to mind the painting ‘Starry Night’ by Vincent Van Gogh.

Oneteen, twoteen? The origins of ‘eleven’ and ‘twelve’

Reading time: 5 minutes November, at time of writing, is ticking out its final few hours, and with them, the eleventh month of 2024 is giving way to the twelfth. Aside from the awkward mismatch in …

I've decided BlueSky is a warts n all kinda place so in that spirit I'm sharing a link to today's LinkedIn post which is essentially a plea for work. www.linkedin.com/posts/aidan-... I thought I'd feel really awful sharing it but some really cool people have been super supportive so I feel ok.

Hi everyone! Time for a bit of honesty... The diary for the rest of November and December is looking sparse, and I'd love to work so I don't go crazy or…

I'm the process of updating some old materials. If anyone is interested here's an infographic I made a long time ago now on 'flowers of rhetoric'. You can download the PDF here: jwed.co.uk/2020/02/13/f... #edusky

Frequency-dependent selection in the English spelling system across 1000 years of histor osf.io/preprints/ps... Fascinating paper by Carr & Rastle on how English spelling has been shaped over the past 1000 years or so by both positive and negative frequency-dependent selection.
