The only team not to lose to Spain at the World Cup? Cape Verde.

"SHOW THE PLAYERS, get this man of the screen!," says my soccer obsessed ten year old. I agree. Also is it only trump giving the medals? What about Carney and Sheinbaum? Booooo.

SPAIN!!!!!!! And specifically Lamine Yamal for being all of 19, playing so well, and for supporting 🇵🇸! And also Ferran Torres for that winning goal!

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

Lindsay Graham and I often disagreed on whether you should overturn Democratic elections, starve the hungry, bomb anyone and bomb everyone dark, but nevertheless I hope his loved ones stay off the internet and the rest of you have some fun.

So very excited to dive into "Filipino Migrants and the Canadian Dream" by the brilliant Geraldina Polanco, published by @uoftpress.bsky.social! Students who'll be taking my grad class in the fall: this will be one of the books we're reading!!! #mustreads

There's a part in the book "Careless People" where the author beats Zuck at Settlers of Catan, and he is absolutely wrecked by it. Someone pulls her aside to explain everyone else has been letting him win for years. I think about this a lot re: why tech bros think everyone will love AI chatbots.

Julian Sanchez@normative.bsky.social · last mo.

People who spiral out overusing LLM chatbots are really just experiencing the kind of brain-damaging stream of unconditional validation that’s always been the norm for the hyper-wealthy, which explains a lot.

ALEX EALA!!!!!!!! Just defeated the defending champion on Wimbledon! Laban Alex! 🇵🇭

SO excited that @drsabreena.bsky.social came to @academicaunties.com!!! We chatted abt her brilliant book, "DEI Undone"! We chat abt performative allyship, Palestine activism, and reflect on the possibilities of DEI-colonization. Everyone, buy the book!!! www.academicaunties.com/episodes/dei...

2011: Ugh, there are a lot of typos in this student's term paper. 2026: Oh wow, there are typos in this paper, this is wonderful. Clearly, the student did not use AI.

And another brilliant PhD grad is joining our ranks! Super proud of Dr. Kushan Azadah, whose thesis powerfully uses the concept of the "Armonia effect" to explain Canada's responses to Afghan settlement, which includes geopolitics, domestic tensions and civil society actions. Congrats! #academicsky

If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?

Still beaming from Dr. Dani Magsumbol's spectacular PhD defence on Friday! I had the honour of supervising Dani, whose work examines how different generations of filipinx migrants in Canada 'terraform' belonging. She brilliantly addresses temporality, emotions, labour and community! #academicsky

Read the room Mark Carney. No one wants this.

"Provide access to trusted AI agents for every post-secondary student – from the arts and commerce to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and medicine." I'm pretty sure that nobody who teaches in a post-secondary institution asked for this, and this makes their jobs even harder.

Seriously such a great convo and made me all fired up to keep organizing! Thanks Anna for sharing space. And everyone else, remember that we're all stronger together! #unions #labor

Anna Meier@annameier.bsky.social · 2mo ago

It was a joy chatting with @tungohan.bsky.social about unions in higher ed, misconceptions about who a union is and what it's for, and imagination as the first step in organizing for a better workplace and world. Yeet at your union-skeptical coworkers & any organizer who could use a hug.

Devastated doesn't even begin to describe how I'm feeling. I last saw Raul at a mentorship workshop for racialized scholars in political science at the Canadian political science association, exactly two years ago. He was kind and generous and a true force. He was one of the best.

La Sociedad Mexicana de Sociología lamenta profundamente el fallecimiento del Dr. Raúl Pacheco-Vega, profesor del CIDE y FLACSO. Nuestras más sinceras condolencias a sus familiares, amigos y colegas cercanos. Descanse en paz

Vermeer’s Girl With The Pearl Earring will be shown in Osaka, later this year, and the press conference was as Japanese as you’d expect #Vermeer

Just had an awesome convo w @annameier.bsky.social on @academicaunties.com! We talked abt transitioning from being a faculty member to a full time organizer, the importance of unions & more! Episode out next week! Thanks Anna for chatting- nice to finally meet after yrs of being social media pals!

"The Letters: Institutional Lives and EDI" published by @fernpub.bsky.social is magnificent. In @academicaunties.com, I chat w Nisha, Rita, Anita and Davina about how it came to be, the letters that they've written, that the EDI university has written & more. www.academicaunties.com/episodes/the...

What happens in writing retreats? How should we change the conditions of our work to enable us to write + think? @nishanath.bsky.social & I listen to voice memos I taped during my last retreat and chat all things writing @academicaunties.com! www.academicaunties.com/episodes/wri... #academicsky

Anyone who wants to end birthright citizenship wants to bring back slavery. Those same people also claim non-citizens have no rights—not the right to protest against deportation, nor the right to not have police break down their doors, nor the right to defend themselves in a proceeding.

What pushes folx to run for office? In this episode of @academicaunties.com, Veronica Javier and I chat about why being a social worker, community advocate and adjunct faculty member drove her decision to run, challenges & her dreams of a more just world. www.academicaunties.com/episodes/run...

young pope leo looks like a ska scene regular who goes by Upbeat but no one knows his real name

university administrators have devolved to telling unions to "ask AI to give you that info" in case you were wondering how the academic labor movement is going

I am so incredibly proud of Karl Gardner, the first PhD student I ever supervised, for releasing his upcoming book published @ubcpress.bsky.social Seriously a smart and committed activist and scholar. Buy his book and watch this space for details on his launch! www.ubcpress.ca/organizing-s...

PM Carney: "Our goal is AI for all. AI governed by Canadian values, AI accountable to Canadians, AI that serves Canadians. AI for all can make the jobs of Canadian workers more interesting and more rewarding."
