If I was teaching a student with Tourettes, who involuntarily shouted "fa**ot" during my lecture, I would not be offended, I would reach out to them to check they were ok when the lecture finished. However, I would also edit it out of the lecture capture so it was not recorded for posterity.
signs of spring! The daffs in my garden have popped up alongside the hellebores
WE JUST GOT A GOLD AT THE WINTER OLYMPICS BTW
We are Christopher Isherwood, watching the increasingly violent scenes of government thuggery and murder in the Berlin street below from our apartment window above.
Smart glasses are going to need to be regulated - because they can be used secretly very easily - and are likely going to become very common.
While this is an issue with mobile phones - they are generally more awkward to use this way.
Tears running down my face at 'just a small piece of ice'
Yearly January illness has set in 🤮 worst month of the year
