Colleagues. If you have been asked to review a file for Tenure and/or Promotion don't forget to not only say yes but to actually write the letter (and don't be an asshole). Since the pandemic, much like referee reports for journal articles, its been brutal to get these in for candidates.
Thank you @daniparadis.bsky.social! Yes! Jason Kenney is now trying to use a limp garden hose connected to a tap with water restrictions on a dumpster fire for which he provided the fuel and the matches. Some folks see through the glow up. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
Opinion: Jason Kenney is trying to stop the separatists. But he deserves some blame for their rise in the first place

Canadians tell Carney to shift to British spelling in federal protocol
A flurry of emails to Carney followed news last December that promoters of Canadian English objected to the federal government’s use of British spelling in official documents.

A lot of people don’t know this. I write about this in my Public Finance text about inequality and reparations. It is interesting how much student’s thinking changes when you add the tidbit about the original compensation (and the origin of unpaid internships that followed abolition)
Heather Campbell@thatheatherc.bsky.social · 4d agoThe Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 gave compensation to those who had enslaved humans to account for the confiscation of 'their property' & 'loss of assets'. Of course, the formerly enslaved population received no compensation. Money received by those who fought against the Slavery Abolition Act. 2/

This is and has always been the point of patriarchy: barring women from access to resources so we can only get them through men. So that men who would otherwise never be chosen by women can coerce women into relationships. Patriarchy has always been affirmative action for shitty men.

Absolutely! With whom does the premier have to “check” to see if using the Alert system to find a missing neurodivergent child is OK? The fact that the conversation continues while the child remains missing is heartbreaking … and a demonstration of poor provincial leadership.
