Fuck.

I had a great time at the @cpsa-acsp.bsky.social 2025 Annual Conference! My research paper was received really well - LOTS of questions! I got to check out other cool projects & enjoy catching up with friends! Thanks to all the organizers and volunteers for their amazing work!

Nothing’s coming up Milhouse 😂 😂 😂

Today’s an important election! I voted for healthcare, affordable housing, protecting the environment, fighting climate change, and the respect of all human rights! Please get out there and VOTE folks! We need to keep our democracy healthy and strong! #election2025 #canadavotes #vote

A cool social media moment ahead of tonight’s 2025 English federal debate! #canpoli #debate2025 @jagmeetsingh.ca

Photos of the damage from Hurricanes Helene & Milton from my recent trip to Florida’s Gulf Coast. Many favourite restaurants & cafes were closed for repairs or out of business. A reminder of the serious impacts on these communities & that disasters will further exacerbate the current economic moment

So this is what it’s like to watch a hegemonic transition in real time 😂 Buckle up folks 😭

Is America tired of winning yet? 😂

Well I didn't have "historic White House meeting that will be taught in IR courses for all time" on my bingo card for today.

Yet another horrendously cruel and shortsighted decision from Trump - especially in the face of devastating wildfires, floods, and other climate-fuelled catastrophes.

Not sure about everyone else, but with everything going on, I’ve been thinking about Kindleberger’s Hegemonic Stability Theory and the times we’re in. As if on cue, this passage pops up during my re-read of Strange’s Mad Money! #susanstrange #phdlife #InternationalRelations

Austerity politics in the face of the climate crisis while spending billions of dollars on new fossil fuel development, the military, and global empire is suicidal. We must adapt and reform - before we all burn. #CaliforniaWildfires #californiafires #CaliforniaBurning

My Apple Music #replay for 2024 - did I get Chapple-pilled? Yeah, you can take me H-O-T-T-O-G-O! 😂 🎶🔥 I’ve also been enjoying my re-listen through Iron Maiden’s discography, truly legends!🤘🏻A bunch of concert related listening this year - Stars and Arkells in particular! 🔥🎶

End all gender-based violence 🌹

Large earthquake just struck off the coast of California - tsunami risk now includes potentially SF area. Let’s hope it’s not a major event:

I’ve been re-reading Susan Strange’s works. This passage from Casino Capitalism - originally published in 1986 - has been rattling around in my brain for the past week. Strange was so prescient it almost hurts - this is where we’re at folks.
