I know everyone is worried about AI taking over soon, but it still can't tell what word I was trying to type when I misspell it sometimes...
So, I think we have a little bit of time yet.
I concur.
I also can feel this way about myself at times. 😂
I just ‘liked’ the very first picture I saw when I opened my instagram feed… and then say it was posted 10 DAYS AGO!!!
Please don’t ever do me like that IG. 🥲
Unliked 👎
That’s sooooo sweet 🥹 I’m sure you’ve taught her lots 🙏
I genuinely have no schadenfreude looking at what’s happening in America. So many great people I know are from there. It’s just deeply sad and is having knock on effects hurting people all around the globe.
ChatGPT is getting way too enthusiastic in its replies. Maybe people like it in USA but think about the rest of us.
Can we work on human rights for people first?
Woooo congrats 🎉
4 years living in Saudi and still haven’t fully adjusted to the Sunday to Thursday working week.
Calling Sunday Monday and calling Thursday Friday is still happening 🫠
A heads up Americans for tomorrow. From a born & bred Irishman.
Firstly, I sympathize that your country is falling apart & this isn’t a priority BUT
It’s “St. Patrick’s Day”. We also call it “St. Paddy’s Day” and just “Paddy’s Day”.
No Irish person EVER (truly EVER) has called it “St. Patty’s” 🤢.
Having 11 work meetings in one day while dry fasting for Ramadan is… 😵💫
Especially after getting up at 4:45am for Suhoor.
It’s one of the prettiest (if not THE prettiest) cities I’ve been to in traveling to over 40 countries.
Great list, I might add “laughing with friends”
It’s a screenshot from the “Days since” app Heading says “Counters” 5 years No Alcohol Started on 13 Mar 5 years No cigarettes (no e-cig or vapes) Reset on 13 Mar
1/2 a decade of responding to the “an Irish man who doesn’t drink” shock with my “that’s why they kicked me out, and Saudi was happy to take me in” joke.
Three years ago today, the day before my 31st birthday, I launched the Accessible Social website. Since then, more than 110,000 people worldwide have visited the site, representing nearly every country on the planet.
I couldn't be prouder of Accessible Social and the many people it has helped. 🎉
😬 I definitely did 😅
Learning Arabic is such a humbling experience.
100s of hours of group and private classes and years and years of daily Duolingo and I still feel like I know almost nothing.
If I’d put this effort into a European language I’m certain I’d be fluent.
“How do you eat an elephant?
1 bite at a time.”
So many great podcasts in the Higher Ed MarCom space. I often spend my Fridays (which is the weekend here in Saudi) catching up on them. What’s cool is I know, have met and/or worked with so many of these people (guests and hosts) in real life too.
Maybe there’s a great reason for it that I don’t get, but asking me to put my first name and second yet in separate boxes in your form instead of one “name” field pisses me off.
I might be out right there.
Higher ed pros, let's find each other again! 💙
I’ve put together a Bluesky Directory to help our community reconnect. https://buff.ly/4hUri6B

That ‘Trump Gaza’ AI video is possibly the most unhinged post I’ve ever seen on the internet, and it’s posted by a sitting US president.
Feel like I’m living in a simulation. How can this level of depravity be reality. 🙃
Terrible news everyone, I’ve improved my diet and started exercise a little and…
…it works. I feel much better in many ways. 😔
I’m going to have to keep it up. 😭
At first I didn’t like my new haircut, but I have to say it’s growing on me.
🥁
Enjoyed sitting down with my good pal @taylorstakes.bsky.social to dive into @timelycare.bsky.social’s research on the impact of access to mental health and wellness resources impacts student retention and success for @enrollify.bsky.social.

Oh, and I might personally feature in Brian Piper’s book 5/6 times 😎 so I’m biased, but it’s a really brilliant book.
Enjoy your reading! 🙏
I have a full day workshop next week about Radical Candor by Kim Scott and how to apply it to my practices in work.

I’m loving the Higher Ed Pulse Check series on strategic storytelling
Episode 4 “Leveraging Stakeholder Engagement for Strategic Storytelling” has some great insights on getting the right people in the room and bringing people with you.
@mallorywillsea.bsky.social talks with Anna McBrayer 🎙️
I’ve 8 direct reports, just carried out all their mid-year performance reviews.
I provided a template for them to fill to guide the conversation. They led, 80% of the time (1hr) was me listening.
I celebrated each of them & got great feedback on tangible actions we can take as a team improve. ✍️
Hasn’t happened me a lot but when it has its been terrible. Hated it.
