Thinking about language, Country, and VR with @Djinjama and @andrewxburrell for this paper that just came out in the design journal Leonardo is one of the most enjoyable pieces of research I've been part of leoalmanac.org/nura-yaman-cou…

I am naturally inclined to be cynical, but our school sending out these hampers was actually really sweet and means a lot

@daanvanesch Mine came in a forensic evidence bag too, actually😂. Honestly, it was way more exciting that getting a normal Christmas card would have been, and that already would have been plenty exciting!

@RHendery That's not too bad for the first card! I thought to myself, well why not send some cards in a year in which you don't run into people at conferences. But most of the cards from the 1st round were destroyed, they returned them to me in forensic evidence bags a few days after Xmas!

First day back on campus since more than a year, and this mail in my mailbox made my day. @daanvanesch BOTH cards made it, but one was a bit singed! Thank you!

@ragamouf It really is

@RHendery it's a time capsule!

Weird to be back in my office. The pile of stuff on the floor I dumped out of a drawer during the 15 minutes I had last April to reenter campus and collect my things. To-do list on the whiteboard a year out of date. THIS is where my spare glasses were. Coffee beans are stale.

Just realised there was a card in the singed mail, from NL post, stating (according to Google translate) that they are "sorry annoying")

@heidi_harley I definitely had "themself" as a kid, because I remember teachers correcting it multiple times (usually to himself/herself, but occasionally to "themselves").

Calling masters of singular 'they'! Is it "...so the chair can introduce themself" or "...so the chair can introduce themselves" ?

@bestqualitycrab There are currently more Peters in the Zoom breakout room I just got assigned to than women 😂

This was work done in a team with @kate_richards , @kyliebudge , Jon Allen, & Noel Burgess from WSU, plus Peta Strahan & Jannawi Dance Clan, Miguel Valenzuela migfvalenzuela.com.au/home.html, and @joshharle

Amazing opening of Enquiring Minds exhibition at Old Government House tonight, including outputs from our partnership project with @nationaltrustau . Thanks to Peta Strahan (Jannawi Dance Clan), @jarvanitakis, and the Governor of NSW for speaking to launch the exhibition.

So excited about the launch of this tonight! It marks the end of a fantastic year of partnering with National Trust NSW to create digital exhibits for this exhibition and do some research around digital cultural heritage

@JennaPrice @georgiassteele What's interesting to me is the "but it's called loudly crying face" responses. Is "it's called X" the emoji version of the prescriptivist "but the dictionary says..."?

1am is the best time to finally crush a bug in your code that has eluded you for days. It lets you sleep the sleep of the self-satisfied.

@IndigenousX @kelaher This sounds awesome. Can't wait to see them

@kelaher @RHendery I have made the letters myself already. Will make some tweets in them tomorrow.

Tomorrow I’d like to only use the Gamilaroi alphabet to speak to you but I can’t figure out how to access it on this device. Can anyone assist?

@TermyCornall @azforeman So clearly Georgian is a Pama-Nyungan language :P

I am never forgiving the Georgians for having /mama/ as their word for “father” and /deda/ as their word for “mother” What kind of people do this?
