Deleted my #X #Twitter account because of its evil owner, so call me ex-X as I cross it out of my nice life here in #Japan! Thanks to @dangillmor for the nudge. I'm a stickler anyway about living by #academic #ethics: https://japanned.hcommons.org/academic_life

I'm in the #Humanities Commons instance, and we have free profiles like https://hcommons.org/members/stevemccartyinjapan that include a link to the old blue bird of Twitter, and members are increasingly leaving, so our admins at @hello might want to reconsider having that item in the next version of profiles.

What can I do with all this new free time besides taking contemplative hikes in Kyoto? I'm still looking for a wide range of informants and academic colleagues, as I should have big news on #international #collaboration in 2024. I'm looking for #friends in fields such as #online #education, #bilingualism, #language #teaching with #technology, #journalism, #interculturalcommunication, and #Asia.

A little positive reinforcement goes a long way!

Recently, I brought a #book from an online seller. I had to the return it due to the low level damage that it had suffered in transit. This is not the first time that this has happend. I have noticed a marked deterioration in the quality of packaging used to transport #books bought online. Before envelopes were used that had bubbled wrapping inside and gave some sort of protection. Now one has to be thankful if paying 'top dollar' for a brand new #book and it arrives without any minor scrapes especially if it is just stuck in a standard cardboard envelope.

@grumpygrampa @bookstodon Have you found that there is a price difference in buying from physical bookstores as opposed to buying ?

@grumpygrampa @bookstodon Apart from the pecuniary savings I suppose buying has the advantage of 'ease of use' and delivery to ones doorstep.

Hm. Lief zou thuiswerken en de ene les van vandaag online doen, maar moet toch naar school omdat school lessen op locatie door laat gaan en de studenten er al zijn.

Sommige scholen hebben door de lockdowns zo'n sterke allergie ontwikkeld tegen 'online' dat nu alles op locatie móet. Waarom die alles-of-niets-insteek? Niks mis met de mix.

Do think #online platforms that sell #books should allow patrons to arrange #search results by order of the number of pages per #book? #Bookstodon #Reading @bookstodon
