Reading the news and can't decide between taking up meditation, constant and endless screaming, arranging some civics education training materials for the public, or making plans to flee.

Just finished watching the Jordan Peterson x Pierre Poilievre interview.

I yelled at my screen multiple times and took a lot of very frustrated notes.

Video coming!

Question, for those I follow who are more well-versed in history than me. Is there a historical comparative that shows this type of appeasement works long-term? Or should we have followed Mexico's tone?

“This is no time to kowtow to Washington, as some of our premiers ill-advisedly seem to be doing. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has vowed to retaliate against Mr. Trump with big tariffs of her own. Mr. Trudeau should do the same.”
Opinion: Canada must not cower before Donald Trump’s bullying
Justin Trudeau must threaten steep tariff retaliation against the once and future president’s latest affront to the special relationship between Canada and the U.S.

Hey #HigherEd folks! Interested in the importance of inclusive access to instructors in a large #University class?

Check out our paper in #FEBS and the associated article in #UniversityAffairs

Screen grab and QR code for University AFfairs article that reads in part, "The importance of inclusive access to instructors A recent study looked at how often students engage with their professors outside of the classroom, and how much accessibility and inclusivity matter. BY SHOSHANAH JACOBS, M. ALEX SMITH, LISA ROBERTSON, VICTORIA REA & BAILEY BINGHAM | MAY 18 2022 Post a commentTwitterFacebookLinkedIn No matter how we approach the question of “what makes for good teaching,” our research findings usually come down to: it’s the instructor. So when we ask people about their experiences as students, we are really asking them to tell us about their teachers. Who was your favourite teacher? What did they do? How did they inspire you? Frustratingly – for the researchers among us – good instructors do not actually have a lot in common. They are kind, enthusiastic, formal, calm, knowledgeable, or keen to learn. They wander the room, they stand in one spot, they use slides, or they talk for three hours and write two words on the board. It’s a junk drawer of approaches and students benefit from this variety within their academic careers. What matters most is that instructors have thought deeply about who they are as teachers and as people and that they are deliberate in their approaches." Screen grab of article in FEBs OpenBio and QR code for article that reads in part, "Frequency, topic, and preferences: Tracking student engagement with several modalities of student–instructor contact in a first-year course Bailey E. Bingham, Victoria Rea, Lisa Robertson, M. Alex Smith, Shoshanah Jacobs First published: 16 October 2021 https://doi.org/10.1002/2211-5463.13315 Get it at Guelph Bailey E. Bingham and Victoria Rea are Co-first authors Edited by Luciane V Mello SectionsPDFTools Share Abstract Meaningful student–instructor interactions during an undergraduate degree course can have important effects on student learning. The format by which those interactions are made possible can vary greatly. We investigated the preferred modality of contact and students’ reasons for contact across several modalities in a first-year biology course. We tracked student–instructor contact for two-course instructors who team teach collaboratively (rather than sequentially) across two-course sections. Both instructors had identical scores on student evaluations of approachability. Student–instructor contact was facilitated using five ‘student hour’ modalities: (a) in office by appointment, (b) 1 h per week, in office drop in, (c) 1 h per week, virtual chat, (d) by email, (e) 10 min immediately after class. Though email was the preferred method of contact, the period immediately following the class instruction was the most popular of the face-to-face options. We note significant differences in the distribution of workload across the two instructors and make recommendations for increasing the accessibility of student–instructor contact and for equity in workload to support student learning."

It's important to know our history.

It is little known, but the first book burnings in Nazi Germany didn’t target Jewish writers. It was the burning of the library of the Institute of Sexual Research, which was a safe home for trans people.

It is no accident that fascists today walk that same dark path by targeting trans people. /5

Holy fork and shirt.

The migration from threads and X (I can't honour it anymore by spite-calling it twitter) isn't slowing down.
