Had the most wonderful day visiting Curve Lake FN with my kid for the Mnoominkewin, learning about wild rice, eating amazing food from Shawn Adler of the Flying Chestnut, getting out on the lake to try harvesting & planting, and hearing sublime talks by @biidaasamose.bsky.social & Winona LaDuke(!!)

Wait, so he’s saying the core beliefs of the whole structure that is the US military are held up by one thing, which is ‘grooming standards’? Seems a bit cosplay-y, no?

What a great photo by Tom Williams for Getty. This'll be in those '2025 year in review' lists for sure

Thought I'd have a wee peak into my employer pension plan holdings and see that some calls to UPP are needed!
Any fellow Ontario faculty who want to work on #TeslaTakedown, get in touch with UPP to voice your views about YOUR money being used to prop up Musk here: myupp.ca/contact-us/

Great start but a ways to go....

Such a great illustration of the deep dissonance b/w Project 2025 and the rest of America, when its leaders legitimately haven’t heard of one of the country’s most celebrated current artists or the most popular song of the last year.

I *think* this is a real picture of this trend. And here's another: my friend who worked in this area told me there's a pod of resident orcas on the west coast who just refuse to eat anything but salmon, even if it limits their health, where other orcas have a more diverse diet. Culture!

LSA Chicago 2025 submission acceptance came through, but now identical emails keep arriving every single minute like the top of an abandoned tetris stack. Thoughts and prayers to the program assistant out there who's scrambling to find the right button...

This place is the cutest. I’ve been on here maybe 2 hrs and seen mainly pictures of nice pizzas and people remarking on how nice everyone is. Here is a picture of two woodpeckers who visited my backyard today.
