I saw an article titled "Late Night Monologue Takes On Carney Trump Meeting" from a Canadian news outlet and was annoyed there are no Canadian Late Night Monologues... so I made one.

My children got me to play Clue with them. As an academic, this feels very familiar.

First, there are no rules in our box. You have to figure it out as you go, or ask another player. Their answer may or may not turn out to be right.

I’m reimagining Clue as the game of Academia.

Yes! Graphic novels (and other story forms that combine words and images can be complex, political, academic and valuable. Reading text and images is great for us!

I have long loved and felt inspired by Pat Parker's poetry. The thing about living in precedented times is that inspiring poems from the past are awfully relevant again/still.

When they come, they will find me as I live, in the work.

There are three types of reserved parking spots at the high school. There are:
-accessible ones for students with disabilities,
-elder parking for Indigenous elders,
-parking for students with young children who attend the in school day care.

I love this. The three signs make me smile every time.

While despair is always willing to be home, again today I do not choose it.

I chose to breath deeply and expand my lungs fully.

I chose to be compassionate to others and practice care and generosity.

I chose to value myself and care for me.

I chose to value my communities and work in love.

We already know that girls (including trans girls) should be able to access girls’ change rooms. We’ve got clear guidance from the human rights code.

I’m glad we’re not going to be engaging in public consultation about the humanity of trans girls.

My gender has become unrecognized by executive order have I become illegible? Am I now a cryptid? Is it like when countries do not recognize each other - I no longer have diplomatic relations with the US government?

My gender is unrecognized. It is organic, wild and feral. It can not be contained.
