Helpfully lists the ~demands~ requirements of studying at TAFE. I suspect some of these will be easier to dodge than others, and I want very little of it touching my network. :)

Used for the TAFE student ID card, which at best is only required for most TAFE services, and at worst is required to go onto the campus.

Holy privacy nightmare batman.

Thanks, TAFE. Very cool.

Cake, a footrub, and tidying up after? Yes please.

Also there's sex that happens in here too I guess.

Can I go to the bathroom during the LLND?

Using the bathroom before beginning your assessment is recommended. However, you can take bathroom breaks if needed. Request permission from your moderator first, and for Online Monitored Assessments, keep breaks brief and infrequent to avoid triggering a potential breach.

The surveillance aspects are creepy as hell, especially given that the options for on-campus assessments are so limited. Already I'm pretty sure my accessibility tools would get flagged, but I'm offended they think they can tell me when I can piss in my own damn home.

Science Gallery Melbourne’s latest free exhibition EMERGENCE[Y] explores how we adapt to a rapidly changing world.

From October 1, free COVID-19 vaccines will still be available for:

• Adults 75 and over (two doses per year, about six months apart)
• Adults 65–74 years (one dose per year)
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 50–74 years (one dose per year)
• Adults aged 18–64 years with severely immunocompromising conditions (one dose per year). This includes people with chronic kidney disease on dialysis and people with leukaemia.

The core ideas here are something I want to revisit with my filthy human hands.
