This HAS TO be paired with a clearer protocol for your visa policy in Iran. It is our right to have our families visit, while we are at risk if we go back home.

The only reason @netflix is beating #torrent networks is that it's easier to use. Right now, I have full institutional access, but I use @Sci_Hub , because it's faster, and doesn't make me sign up for some scammy site. Also, my book costs $60, and I don't see a sent from a sale!

Got back in the classroom today to try out the new digital history syllabus at @digihistlab @UZH_en, where all our course materials, assignments and communication is done via @gitlab. Putting two things under one hat! @TransitLives

In advance of launching our demo, we've been working again on the LiT front page text this week. Turns out it's not so easy to summarise 3 years of work into a few sentences 🤔 But here goes...

[Lives in Transit @TransitLives]

Today @JamesColtrain has been in discussions with the "Lives in Transit" development team as we work towards launching our demo in the next few weeks. We also talked with students about the relationship between gaming and #publichistory. Thanks for all your engagement, James!

Is there a way to get @twitter to #stop notifiying me about 'Recent Tweets'? There must be a way to turn this off (buried deep in settings no doubt).

Gerdes now making a plea for Surface-syntactic Universal Dependencies (SUD): it's like UD, but takes into account some of the stuff actually discovered by syntacticians (constituency and dependency) over the past 60 years. #ANSC #ANSC2019

@tuomo_h @SuomenAkatemia I'll allow it.

First #game I've ever helped create, a multimedia text adventure, where anyone can add their own stories. Excited to get some testers on board once the beta is live! #opensource #openscience @dhnow @DHUniMelb

We're in another development sprint this week as we enter the final six months of the project. This is what the log-in page currently looks like...

[Danny McDonald @interro_gator]

@_dmh I don't think the text says you pay more for references. Instead, you optionally pay for up to 2 extra pages altogether?

Open-source project of mine: safe and automated #logging for #Python projects. If you've ever imported `logging`, this code can save you a lot of time. https://t.co/lUyIjzH9M4. Now wonderfully maintained by the #backend guys at @bitpanda. @djangoproject @ThePSF #openscience
