Husband & I are watching Predator for the first time ever, & they really didn't waste any time getting into the endless action sequence did they! I think a plot was explained for about 3 minutes? 😂

My elder cat Sass is getting a home groomer visit today, & I'm at work so stay tuned as we all find out how much of a haircut she is going to get!

Althia Raj is doing some of the most important reporting out there right now, exposing how Carney is dismantling any semblance of Canada’s progressive values. Pharmacare, child care, now the environment… Please, pay attention. He’s eviscerating environmental laws worse than Harper. Than HARPER!!!

Sir David Attenborough… on your 100th birthday, we thank you. For a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with such grace and wonder. Generations have fallen in love with nature because of you. Happy birthday, Sir. 🎉

Also, in my undergrad I took a remote sensing course in England & I was the only woman. It was weird. Today in this tech heavy session, I'd say the room is at least 60% women 💪 #archaeology

Having an amazing time at the #CAA2026 Canmore conference, learning about remote sensing tech used to ID unmarked graves! The S4 is sick & I'd be interested to try it in NL! #archaeology 🏺

Don't we just love it when people wrote like this? 😂 #archives

Had a surprise filling at the dentist this morning, so that was a nice way to start my Tuesday 😵‍💫

The best time to boycott Microsoft was when BDS called for it, the next best time is now

What does a historian do? And why can’t it be replicated by “AI”? Here’s my latest work of public history - I’m quite proud of it. Thanks to @thediscourse.ca for supporting historical writing thediscourse.ca/cowichan-val... #bcHist #cdnHist

people don't really get that because witches can't sink, they're a direct threat to surface combatants

Blasting through some Graveyard Guidebook edits (we are aiming to have it out this summer, stay tuned!) & I got to pull out my old faithful, 'Archaeology of Churches' by Rodwell. 🙏 #amwriting

The tourism minister in #Nfld is up not no good, changing the iconic architecture of The Rooms in a recent post using AI. There is no need for this slop??? #antiai vocm.com/2026/04/22/2...

What I am learning moving from an art gallery/museum education role to a municipal heritage planning role is that I am profoundly unserious, compared to many colleagues 😂😂

Writing about a cool early 20thC house today & wrote that is has 'dentition' below the eaves. Ew, my actual nightmare 😂 #builtheritage #architecture

Aww Iceberg season is starting in Nfld! That means it's nearly the anniversary of a 60lb iceberg chunk crushing my finger at work! An xray said it wasn't broken, but it took them a week to figure out my knee was broken in Sept sooo. 🧊

So like...what is a corporate job? What does that mean?!?

George Frederick Charles Talbot was a third class steward aboard The Titanic. The job paid 3£ 15s per month. He was 20 years old. He is buried in Fairview Lawn Cemetery

As a very anti-AI, pro-paying artists & authors person, the question is...do I leave a volunteer board position if the other members are trying to edit out the anti-AI statement I wrote in a policy doc?

Casually writing historical single women's names as 'Ms' instead of 'Mrs' or 'Miss' because her identity is not tied to being married ✨️

Happy #WorldPuffinDay! Puffins are known locally as "tammie norries” and arrive at their breeding colonies in Orkney from late April to August. May and June are the best puffin-spotting months.

BREAKING: Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán concedes defeat to Peter Magyar after "painful" election result, ending 16 years in power.

Peer-reviewing a paper & Adobe says 'this looks like a long document. Use AI to summarize?'. How...dare you? And I can only assume some people reviewing academic work are clicking that button! #academia

I’m really grateful to Greg. Page 85 is where I reveal the origin story of this book. It’s a Bluesky book.

Thanks, @bcdreyer.social and @lollardfish.bsky.social! @hopkinspress.bsky.social

On this #TransDayOfVisibility I affirm that trans rights are human rights, gender-affirming care is life-changing and life-saving, and that trans people always have been and always will be a part of the LGBTQ+ community. My trans siblings, I see you and I have your backs to the best of my ability. 🏳️‍⚧️
