This one - Needy Media: How Tech Gets Personal - came out just 2 months ago, but it’s gotten me more media attention than I’ve ever had, because we all can relate to device dependency & data extraction.

Highly recommend Sandlos and Keeling's surprisingly hopeful book from @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social about Yellowknife's Giant mine disaster (slow-motion over decades but still disaster) - which I got to review for @theseaboardreview.ca

In honor of #UPWeek, we've partnered with @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social to explore how food shapes identity across borders.

Nothing says NYC like pastrami on rye from Katz's, but did you know Montreal has its own take on the Jewish deli tradition?
