New article from Parkes and Blackwell-Young on the #thirdspaceperspectives blog. They are revisiting the principles they identified in a project they worked on 10 years ago looking at how academics and professional staff can work together #integratedpractice #highereducation www.thirdspaceperspectives.com/blog/lost-in-third-space-third-space-professionals-in-a-post-pandemic-worldnbsp

It’s not #Caturday but Basil is definitely in chill out mode this Easter. #CatsOfMastodon #relax

Met this lovely boy in Morocco (called Marmalade) we were staying at a wonderful centre called La Maison Anglaise in Taroudant for a #dance holiday. The place has won lots of awards for sustainability and just won a #wellness award. They have a couple of cats, both well cared for and happy (plus tortoises galore!) Marmalade liked to have a little bit of love - but here he is sunning himself like a king! #caturday #catsOfMastodon SORRY forgot to add

I feel a bit guilty about this. Basil had found a quiet dimly lit spot to #relax and I found him with my phone camera. It’s #caturday chillin’ time #catsOfMastodon

Happy Boxing day!! The real #Catmas 📦🎄

Love and empathy to those who find today and the holidays in general a trying time, whatever the reason. You're not alone even if it feels like it! #JoinIn

As a former chef, a big shout out to all the service workers who are working today making others holiday special giving up their own.

Please tip extra well and don't forget the kitchen crew. But most of all be appreciative and kind.

It’s Christmas Day but someone wishes it was #caturday #catsOfMastodon #JoinIn

just after #Sunset on the Pamlico Sound the other day cropped to 16:9 #LandscapePhotography

It's ok to do next to nothing for Christmas. It's ok just to watch some trash TV or sit in the bathtub or order pizza. (Or all of the above!)

You can make it a nice day for you. There aren't enough nice days just for you anyway.

Just because folks around you want to make a big deal of the day, doesn't mean you have to as well. You can make it a little deal and just let them enjoy it in their own way too.

#Christmas #BeKindToYourself

There's lies, damned lies, and the preparation times in recipes.

@alexisbushnell It’s wine, orange juice and zest, nuts, raisins, sugar, brandy, olive oil and usual bread stuff (yeast, bread flour, salt, water)

The stereotype of Christmas is festivity, but a lot of us may be in socially difficult or isolated situations. To help us all support each other, there's a special hashtag for friendly chats where anyone can take part:

➡️ #JoinIn

Search or follow it to find discussions, mention it in posts to start new discussions.

Many use #JoinIn for fun topics like baking bread, spotting birds or listening to music. Others have more serious thoughts. Whatever it is, stay friendly and supportive! 🥰
