A brilliant actor!
Today in 2017, John Dunsworth died. Born in 1946, he began acting on stage in the 1960s & created Pier One Theatre in 1970 in Halifax. He was also a casting director, helping launch the career of Elliot Page. He is most famous for his role as Mr. Lahey on Trailer Park Boys.

Ugh, so many terrible things in the world! It's difficult to go about the everyday while it all seems to be falling apart. My heart goes out to those in the world under siege, running for their lives, trying to make it to tomorrow.

When facing the "All we need is STEM!" approach to education, my usual response is: Developing the vaccine was the STEM problem; distribution & getting shots in arms was the Social Science problem; getting people to trust it & combatting misinformation was the Humanities problem-- which did we fail?

Okay, another platform of which I will try to get the hang! I'm a Canadian academic librarian on the prairies (University of Saskatchewan) and here's my dog, Miley!
