Distracted today by City crews taking down a silver maple that has been outside my house for 120+ years. It was once a beautiful, thriving canopy and was damaged by shady builders a couple years ago. It's not dead, but apparently the city doesn't care to try and preserve it.

My living room "books on the go" pile features some amazing folks, including @nimishabarton.bsky.social and @thetattooedprof.bsky.social !

If you see this, repost with a vampire that is not Dracula.

More and more messaging like this is sneaking into my kid's life, despite my extremely careful attempts to avoid filling his mind with diet culture BS. I find it enraging.

All thanks to this truck, which decided to make a turn on a small street that clearly didn't have enough space.

Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! We willna be fooled again!

Bonne fête nationale!

Opening keynote of TMU's CELT conference. Mark Daley, starting a robust discussion about AI and what it means for universities. Ultimately suggesting that human flourishing must remain at the heart of our missions.

I'm always deeply suspicious of fictional accounts that deal with my own research subjects. Was very taken aback to see this on the shelves of my public library. Will reading it be an exercise in rage management??

Good luck pushing US "Champagne".

I have questions. First, is fentanyl really responsible for "10s of millions" deaths in the US? Second, will Canada's govn't walk back the billion dollar border security initiative? It clearly made no difference in this trade dispute AND we don't need additional security at the border.

Just finished @josheyler.bsky.social's book and I am particularly grateful for the threads of hope woven through it. I'm struggling against despair these days and I so appreciate reminders that things can (and have) changed for the better.
