@danwilliamsphil Brilliant series Dan, totally resonates with me.

@Helenreflects Thanks for posting this Helen - I really appreciate all your posts about Covid. I'm taking the exact same approach as you are and it's tough to sometimes still feel like it's "not enough"!

[Li Li Tan @ll_tan]

@timcrane102 My condolences to you and your family, Tim!

@keith_wilson Well, if cheese could be a culinary category then milk certainly could be. This is kind of interesting actually - categories that have weirdly expanded to include imitations of paradigm cases. Someone write a paper!

[Li Li Tan @ll_tan]

@keith_wilson Perhaps these are culinary categories, like how tomatoes are vegetables in the culinary sense?

This story is wild - I still can't fully wrap my head around it. A long read well worth your time.

[Francis Martin @PhrancisMartin]

Making the most of a Monday off to read through this extraordinary story in @AirMailWeekly. It's got a hell of a twist.

@aliboyle6 Today I caught myself using 'infelicities' to explain to a student that they were using words awkwardly and I thought of this.

[Li Li Tan @ll_tan]

@matsimpson1 They managed to scrape your article title to put in there but not your name?? Disappointed

[Li Li Tan @ll_tan]

@danwilliamsphil Christ. I suppose it is at least somewhat amusing to note the irony of them being so dismissive of mere "philosophy" while characterising your arguments uncharitably and inaccurately.

@Helenreflects @HaneMaung @guard_pros @AiJiang_ It's so good. Probably the best sausage I've had, actually!

[Li Li Tan @ll_tan]

@Helenreflects @HaneMaung @guard_pros @AiJiang_ In Cantonese it's lap cheong - that's how I referred to it growing up in KL.

@msteenhagen I still correct my students on this!

[Li Li Tan @ll_tan]

@ellakwhiteley This is delightful. I really want to see the potato pen in action

[Li Li Tan @ll_tan]

@Helenreflects (and perhaps non-overachievers who experience this are sadly overlooked even more as it's not as inconsistent with their previous behaviour)

[Li Li Tan @ll_tan]

@Helenreflects This is the third time (other two are people I know) I've heard this story - perfectionist, overachieving teens/young adults suddenly experiencing CFS for 12-18 months. I wonder if the overachieving part actually has anything to do with it, or if that is what makes it notable

[Li Li Tan @ll_tan]

@keith_wilson This is so good!

[Li Li Tan @ll_tan]

@timcrane102 How strange. To me, it would have been surprising if these programmes *didn't* ace these tests. Why else would we not allow students to use the internet while taking tests?!

[Li Li Tan @ll_tan]

@keith_wilson A student of mine (I work with teens) expressed this thought to me recently!
"It's admirable that he decided to buy twitter and then he actually did it."
"But should he be able to do that?"
"Obviously not!!!" 😂

[Li Li Tan @ll_tan]

@FarbodAkhlaghiG I don't know whether to like this tweet or not!! This is so sad to see but that is some seriously reinforced glass

[Li Li Tan @ll_tan]

@keith_wilson He's the first person I've ever blocked on twitter. Good riddance!!
