I generally really like learning new things, but I confess to some resentment at having to teach myself organic chemistry at the breakfast table for the sake of the Grade 12 project.

Also bookmarking many of the links in this thread. Thanks, colleagues!

I'm torn between the whole AI Con book (maybe esp Chs 1 & 5) and the whole Tech Won't Save Us podcast run, so I'll recommend the intersection of the two: the episode with Emily Bender & Alex Hanna:

Someone has adorned the water fountain outside my office with two very tiny gnomes. #TinyJoys

I swear I am not being snide: boys’ husky section?

What the what? I hope the editor was suitably dismissive of the review.

Ooh, I just ordered a couple of copies to give as gifts!

I regret most deeply to report that regular workouts at 6:00 am has done wonders for mental health, joint pain, cognitive function, and generalized coping skills. 🏋🏼

I didn't know it was possible to love Emma Thompson any harder than I already did.

Some Englishes have it with a handful of other participles, e.g., “I’m done my homework”, “I’m sat in the front row”. And of course there’s the Christian “he is risen”!

Oof, yeah, links take time! So maddening.

May I suggest the solution of pasting into a plain-text editor to remove formatting? I do this approximately one zillion times a day when switching between MS and other apps.

Catherine Anderson @candershamilton.bsky.social · Oct 15

I firmly believe this is how all grad programs should be.

Catherine Anderson @candershamilton.bsky.social · Oct 15

I'd guess that your goals are different too. Perhaps the conventional indicators (A+?) of being a "good student" are less important to you than, say, the things you're learning?

Gave myself a seasonal manicure. #TinyJoys

There is a famous soccer player named Abby Wambach whose fan base intersects with that of Hannah Gadsby, who is the presenter of this show by Abby Wambaugh.

I think one difference is in whether the message is going to a generic support e-mail or a personal one, no? When I know my message is going to be seen by one unspecified member of a team, I often open with something like, "Hi LMS friends". But never if I'm emailing a specific person!

Some of us teach gender studies…

Catherine Anderson @candershamilton.bsky.social · Sep 29

Thanks for this recommendation! I'm glad to see our library has it, so I've just checked it out.

Universal👏Free 👏Vaccines 👏

There are still a lot of unknowns, but we feel strongly that universal & free COVID-19 and influenza vaccines would be a good investment in health, health systems, and attendance at work and school. Thank you to the brilliantly detail oriented @jabreznik.bsky.social and Dr Matt Miller... 12/n
