- Late last semester, I wrote a review of @neilselwyn.bsky.social Digital Degrowth for @pdse.bsky.social. It was a slightly daunting task considering how much I respect Neil's work, and I hope I have done it justice. Thanks so much for your generous contributions and scholarship, Neil. rdcu.be/e0nbV

- “I am the battered, coffee-stained backbone of writerly panic—the gasping pause where a thought should have ended but simply could not”.
- “Now, at last, we can see, as we move toward a truly efficient future, that the greatest gift we ever received was being forced to exit Eden. To leave the garden behind”.

- It's always a pleasure to join the #MAET staff and students to examine ed tech practices and develop research projects through a critical, equitable-lens. I also have the pleasure of working with the #MALXD programme throughout the year, but it's so valuable to spend time together in person as well.

- Managed to make it one piece to #OER25 in London this week. I was on hand to deliver a workshop developed with @slowtech2000.bsky.social and assist with workshop on @altuk.bsky.social Framework for Ethical Learning Technology. Workshop materials: bit.ly/GoRogueOER25

- I was in Zurich last week for the first European Conference on Critical Edtech Studies. I was fortunate to present on some early PhD work, make new connections, and enjoy the city and surrounds. Sincere thanks to the organisers for hosting, and for bringing this valuable community together. #ECCES
- Landed in Zurich today for the European Conference on Critical EdTech Studies and managed to fulfil of my teenage dreams - visiting the birthplace of Dadaism at Cabaret Voltaire. I spent a few hours looking at the exhibits, reading in the Dada Library, and immersing myself in the space. #ECCES

- A memories notification just popped up with these photos of a card from my students when I finished my last teaching post ten years ago today. I'll always be proud of my experience as a teacher and how valuable it has been as I endeavour to support teaching and learning in higher ed.

- I went to see @thevaselines.bsky.social tonight in Galway and it was the kind of joy I sorely, sorely needed. Thank you Frances and Eugene for all you have given us. 💚

- Wilson’s is one of the loveliest school communities. It was the first school that I taught in when I moved home to Ireland and I will always fondly recall its quirky charm and warm welcome for all.

- I just listened to this episode over the weekend but I had missed the names in the intros. Now it makes a bit more sense! Highly recommended listening for HE folks concerned with ed tech and sustainability.
- It was lovely to see so many familiar faces on the GO-GN webinar today, and to hear about Jess O'Reilly's research. It's assuring to know that there's a wide network of support out there. Sharing slides in case they are of interest: My slides are available here: kate-molloy.net/open-practic...
