the bluff...

There seem to be a few of these around...Those who speak loudest and longest, shout down others, tend to fall into this category... It seems to be all part of ego-tripping...a bluff...the flip side being intense insecurity... https://t.co/tCqZstoGsz

electric elevator desks...

Central Social Institution of Prague - largest vertical letter file in the world. Does this arrangement have possible solutions to social distancing in the workplace?... I am surprised that this is a post-Great Depression, pre-World War II concept... https://t.co/7OD5wtMpq4 https://t.co/eIcW6zRwGC

10,000 ducks... cruel?

While the view of so many ducks is mesmerising, the reason for this phenomenon in Thailand is a little disturbing...Are these ducks really being raised like battery hens and herded like sheep for a specific purpose only? Benefits in some ways...yes...BUT....Is this cruel? https://t.co/jrmQrfefX2

school 'holidays'? ahead...

Yes it's been such a tough one this term...Students exhausted...I'm exhausted... One more day to go for me... Then my holidays look like finishing marking + planning Term 4 incl. maybe exams Term 4... We still don't know... But I'm determined to take some 'me' time somewhere...

2020 Archibald Packing Room Prize...
