In today's @tihe.bsky.social, @bonni208.bsky.social discusses ways to reduce faculty workload, including stop asking colleagues to do things for you! I'm guilty of asking a lot from faculty participating in my SoTL project. Makes me extra grateful to have such enthusiastic and generous colleagues.

@grimalkina.bsky.social @analog-ashley.bsky.social Does this ring any bells for you? #AskingForAFriend
My filing system has had a failure: Can anyone direct me to the book chapter on philosophy of science that says (as an aside)--some fields are improving methods, but social sciences have long decided not to be serious or relevant scientific enterprises? (quality diss) Or something like that.

Damn, I wanted to see consecutive World Series pitches or at least at bats to be homeruns. Joe Carter walked-off the World Series for the #BlueJays in 1993. Was hoping for a lead-off Springer Dinger today. Oh well, we’ll save that for another AB.

Around Winnipeg and southern Manitoba, it's Portage, like Portage Avenue or Portage la Prairie. Tourists get anxious that it's French and roll out their high school French "pour-TAHJ".
Nope. Totally anglophized: "POUR-didge"
