Ankers, the new coffee shop located in the Mabo Library, on the Townsville campus, opened this week. The librarians, of course, taste-tested the coffee on your behalf and we all agree: this one's a winner. Come in and try it for yourself.

Now that the US has gone extra stupid about it, I'm doubling down on adding my preferred pronouns to things. And I'm adding back ones I previously decided I wasn't interesting enough to support. She/her, but thou canst "they" me, an thou list.

Our discards trolley contained a book of deaths today. It's an ABS collection of the ways peopled died in 1979. We are currently flicking through it looking for stupid deaths, but it's all very officially worded. "Foreign body entering other orifice" Other than what?

Apparently today is penguin awareness day. Please be aware of your local penguins. If you have no local penguins, please be aware of Penguin - it's a nice little town in Tasmania.

Like, when someone puts a CC BY-NC-ND licence on something, *they* can still make adaptations of their work, or use it for commercial purposes. They just haven't given permission for other people to do that.

Weirdly, one of the pieces of copyright advice I find myself giving people most often is: "The copyright owner can do what they like with it." It's weird how people default to thinking that copyright restrictions apply to the copyright owner as well as everyone else.

I literally said these words in a gym, in a casual conversation last night: "APA is Harvard, AMA is Vancouver, Chicago is two styles – one Harvard and one Documentary Note (like AGLC) and MLA is just special". The person who prompted this then asked follow up questions.

Almost my first thought on seeing this (straight after "what bill did some idiot try to pass?") was "did the hansard transcriber have to write out the entire Haka, inlcuding the names of everyone and the parts they performed, or did they just write 'there was a Haka'"?

@APA_Style I think this might be a matter of regional variation. Adding "only" in front of the verb is a way to add an inflection to the verb in a number of ethnolects. It is the provision that is limited, and that limitation is what is being noted, so it "only provides" this/these thing/s

I'm currently resisting the urge to use permaculture design principles in reply to all of the conversations happening in the meeting chat for the workshop I'm in. So far I've snuck in "observe and interact" and "design from patterns to details"

(Paraphrased) quote of the day from a workshop I'm in: "Give focus and attention to *good* practice, as opposed to *best* practice"
