@coursera since it doesn't seem to be possible to contact you directly otherwise: I want to see which courses I took years ago, but there's no way to see past courses let alone download any of the materials covered. Can I at least find out which courses I took and how? Thank you.

@patricia831b Ooh definitely, it means a lot to get invited even if it's not something you'll do. But being interested, invited, and going is a whole 'nother level.

[Ninjababe @Ninjababe]

So cool!

Including the Irritator, Utahceratops, and Indominus Rex (from #JurrasicWorld fame)

[dj_aida @dj_aida]

@patricia831b Me too!

[dj_aida @dj_aida]

@patricia831b @Ithildyn Really weird! I'm sorry you have to deal with this, whatever it turns out to be.

@patricia831b @Ithildyn Is an icicle which layer melted a possibility?

[dj_aida @dj_aida]

@patricia831b Ih no honey! I'm so sorry :( are there any cameras nearby that might help find out what happened?

Last January, I noticed something peculiar in my 2yo’s bedroom that - after a year of obsessive reporting - led me to a profound cosmic revelation about what’s even possible in our universe. A 🧵.

This is literally the EXACT reason doctors gave in the 1800s when Semmelweis proposed doctors in maternity wards should wash their hands after working on cadavers. The doctors were OFFENDED at the idea that they could somehow be the source of disease and contagion...

Vaccines are pretty close to a modern medical miracle. Vaccines, administered to children, cause adults.

@Ithildyn Oh, I thought you were maybe watching one of the new series and there were Trills there. I'm dreadfully behind on everything, should really try to catch up.

Absolutely true 🤣 @StarTrek

I am glad the dolphin calf survived.

Marine plastic pollution is an absolute scourge. Single-use plastics, industrial waste, and discarded fishing gear.

Marine life, such as fish, seabirds, and marine mammals, often ingest plastics or become entangled, leading to injury, suffocation, starvation, and death.

Plastic debris breaks down into smaller particles called microplastics, which are particularly concerning due to their ability to absorb toxins and be ingested by a wide range of marine species.

@Ninjababe Happy birthday!

We’re continuing to experience a major technology outage as a result of a cyber-attack, affecting our website, online systems and services, and some onsite services too. We anticipate restoring many services in the next few weeks, but some disruption may persist for longer.

Following confirmation last week that this was a ransomware attack, we’re aware that some data has been leaked. This appears to be from our internal HR files.

We have no evidence that data of our users has been compromised. However, if you have a British Library login and your password is used elsewhere, we recommend changing it as a precautionary measure. The National Cyber Security Centre provides guidance on staying secure online, including how to create a strong password: https://t.co/kHdG2Du2qG

In the meantime, we’ve taken targeted protective measures to ensure the integrity of our systems, and we’re continuing to investigate the attack with the support of NCSC, the Metropolitan Police and cybersecurity specialists. Thank you for bearing with us during this investigation. We’ll update you as soon as we can.

Our sites are open as normal. Details of what’s available can be found on our blog: https://t.co/CSGs8H07wJ

13: Wasn't I born c-section?

ME: Yes. I had Placenta Previa. There wasn't another option.

13: My health teacher said C-sections are "unnatural". He said women never actually NEED them.

ME: Then he's a dumbass who shouldn't be teaching Health.

13: That's what I thought too.
