I was just remembering that 5 years ago at the start of the lockdowns @anujacabraal.bsky.social @patthomson.bsky.social started the #VirtualNotViral chat over on the other platform. It was honestly such a highlight joining the chat most weeks and really inspired me at the start of my PhD journey.

If you could plan the ultimate degree for building a society and culture in our contemporary world skillset, what disciplines/ topics would you expect a graduate to be across? In 2012 the US Department of Defence suggested a skillset that included civic awareness, global knowledge and languages.

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

Writing isn't what you do after you have an idea. It's how you develop an inkling into an insight. Turning thoughts into words sharpens reasoning. What's fuzzy in your head is clear on the page. "I'm not a writer" shouldn't stop you from writing. Writing is a tool for thinking.

There are quite a few posts on @therealrw.bsky.social that I've written in a rage. Thought I'd share them for the holiday season because why not? Every eggnog deserves some bile. 😄

This is aligned to what @christinaqdas.bsky.social and I advocate for in the qual software analysis space. You need to be thoughtful and considered and reflexive about use, how it fits with purpose and method. It's not about productivity or speed. #qualitative #qualAI

It's never a good idea to centre researchers' interests when deciding to engage in research that involves and impacts marginalised communities. For instance, "I don't like my current research area, I need something exciting," is not a good enough reason to engage in such research.

What if "the urge to publish more" is replaced by the urge to do research that is more meaningful, ethical, and beneficial to researched communities. What if we are not under pressure to publish more to secure grants, academic promotions, or for course graduation.

💯 this. You'd be amazed how many unis and research organisations are hugely resistant if you mention whether researchers are safe to enter other people's homes, communities, or hearts. Wellbeing is generally ignored all round and mentioning happiness is viewed with suspicion. All very telling.

Before researchers engage in research and start to use participants as "research data," imagine if they are asked important questions like "Is this person fit to enter into peoples’ hearts? Is this researcher interested in the research participants’ well-being and happiness?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok? Signed, a librarian.
