Meant to be hearing back about a new job today and I haven't yet and I am. Freaking. Out.

Just saw #DavidBowie trending on Birdsite and thought, 'My god, he died AGAIN?'

Really enjoying the #Sunn O))) session from BBC 6 Music Recommends. Would also recommend 👍 #music #dronemetal

What's the best RSS addon for Firefox?

We've been expecting a lot of complaints from students. So far I've seen one (1), which said:

'How dare you not pay your academics properly? This is my education on the line! Please meet their demands immediately!'

#Solidarity in action! ✊

I think #XR need to distance themselves from Roger Hallam. All credit to him for cofounding the movement, but he's increasingly more of a hindrance than a help.
