Climate change is global but this is local: temperature change in Queensland, 1888-2022. A reminder of what we're working to stop, on #ShowYourStripes Day.

I don’t have much going in the next few days so I thought it would be a good time to tweet on behalf of the people of Brisbane for a week. Follow our journey: will anyone fail a preflight covid test this time? Will I lose a child in Changi airport?
Hi all - I’m Tim and I’ll be your twitter captain this week. It’s a weird week for me because on Wednesday I’m (hopefully) bringing my family with me from England to Brisbane. Wish us luck!

9 years, 4 kids, 4 jobs, 2 houses, and it’s time for us to go home. Thanks everyone, it was really fun. I’ll miss you. Come and visit us where the cars have fuel, the shops have groceries, and the beaches have sand.

The more I’ve withdrawn from normal life (or the 2020/2021 version of normal) the harder it seems to get back to it. I’m sure one day I will. This week? Next month? In 2 years? In the meantime I’m sorry and thank you.

Heard joke once: man goes to doctor. Says he’s depressed. Says social media seems pointless and cruel. Says he feels bad for contributing to a toxic environment where bad behaviour is rewarded.

Doctor says ‘treatment is simple. The CASE Higher Education Social Media Conference is in town and the social media manager from the University of Reading is presenting. Go and see him. That should pick you up.’
