1st day of winter school! We are learning about Greece. I'm going to teach my kids about Theseus and the Minotaur, the first Olive tree, how Olive oil is made, and finally let my students try Olive oil from my trees, and eat my homemade tzatziki.

Probably not. Ugh the worst pizza chain in Taiwan. Crust tastes like cardboard.

This place infuriates me as the son of a pizza restauranteur.

Taught me daughter a fun AND important life skill: diceware password creation using real dice.

It's never too early to teach children about security.

"The bleating was remarkable – loud and sharp, the practiced bleat of a person who knew how harsh real sheep can sound. The professor, flustered, stumbled back. Le Guin took that as her cue, grabbed my arm and said, ‘Let’s go.’"

I've been thinking about this essay for days. It is wonderful.

Touchpad worked on live USB.

Doesn't work in real install.

These sorts of hardware problems would be demoralizing to a newbie.

Scholar Social

A Mastodon instance for academics

Scholar Social is a microblogging platform for researchers, grad students, librarians, archivists, undergrads, academically inclined high schoolers, educators of all levels, journal editors, research assistants, professors, administrators—anyone involved in academia who is willing to engage with others respectfully.

We strive to be a safe space for queer people and other minorities, recognizing that there can only be academic freedom where the existence and validity of interlocutors' identities is taken as axiomatic.

"A Mastodon profile you can be proud to put on the last slide of a presentation at a conference"

"Official" monthly journal club!

(Participation is, of course, optional)

Scholar Social features a monthly "official" journal club, in which we try to read and comment on a paper of interest.

Any user of Scholar Social can suggest an article by sending the DOI by direct message to @socrates@scholar.social and one will be chosen by random lottery on the last day of the month. We ask that you only submit articles that are from *outside* your own field of study to try to ensure that the papers we read are accessible and interesting to non-experts.
