I’m reeling from the mass shooting in Sydney’s Bondi Beach today. 2 gunmen, 12 dead. Incredible unarmed civilian disarmed one shooter. But this is unthinkably rare in Australia and the type of weapons available limited the slaughter due to our gun laws.

This is exactly it 💯

Confirm this is a legit excellent community service in Montreal! Please give generously.

Yikes!

Props to McGill’s COFAM & lawyer @sibelataogul.bsky.social for initiating this challenge back in July universityaffairs.ca/features/fac...

Living through every word of this essay about the collapse of learning in higher ed: fractured attention... instrumentalized study…safety from intellectual challenge… remote writing functionally obsolete. Great solutions offered!

This is one way to deal with bureaucracy!

An historic first for Australia!

Squid Game for real 🤬

Oh FFS. Piss right off will you? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

“Since April's election, oil and gas lobbyists notched at least 177 meetings with federal officials — a third of which were in September alone. If Tuesday's budget is any indication, they successfully persuaded Prime Minister Mark Carney's government” www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/06/n...

People can be good.

Quebec just passed legislation to allow it to do the same. My union (#AMPL) is challenging it.

Super cringe and I’m here for it.

Massive general strike in Italy protesting Gaza

Wait… what? A terrible call.

CANADA: The federal government’s repeated use of back-to-work powers undermines Canadian workers’ right to strike theconversation.com/the-federal-...

Hard no.

In news that is entirely unsurprising to faculty

Solidarity from @apml-ampd.bsky.social and COFAM @ McGill!

🚨 Please share with your Alberta friends & family! “This isn’t a pivotal moment for Canada. It’s a salvage operation for you. And you want to win, no matter what the cost to Battle River–Crowfoot, no matter what they lose in the offing.” open.substack.com/pub/letterke...

Perfect way of describing Canada’s new “nation-building” legislation: when that “red tape” is environmental protections and Indigenous rights, fast-tracking projects transfers costs from the rich humans to the poor, to future generations and to our non-human relatives.

Hold the line @mark-carney.bsky.social

Montrealers: Solidarity rally for Kanesatake @ 5 pm, Place du Canada

There’s the spectacle but there’s also the banality of evil: boring bureaucratic registries OF TERMINATED PREGNANCIES!!!

Yes queens!

Solidarity with striking unions is Cool! #AFSCMEStrong

Carney is embarrassing

Toomaj, the famous Iranian rapper and freedom fighter who has been one of the biggest targets of the Islamic regime, has posted this statement. Toomaj has been out of prison for the past few years and has sacrificed a great deal fighting for freedom.

We had excellent signs in San Marcos Texas! Big turnout!

PSA: passenger’s sm had been searched prior to arrival in US, scrubbing phone no prevention.

This gerrymandered response is embarrassing and beneath your office, Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social

Reminder: there is a standing order of the ICJ that Israel may not block aid.

In our Open Letter to @MarkJCarney @AnitaAnandMP, 412 legal, human rights, diplomatic, international affairs, social justice, civil society, faith & labour leaders & experts make it clear: Canada must act to end genocide in #Gaza. 🧵1/10

Chaser calls bullsh*t

Dear world: help!

I absolutely do not want to become grist in a “data-driven solution for higher education.”

This looks v. cool!

A case of modern-day banishment on Haida Gwaii - a sanction traditionally used for those threatening community well-being.

Kudos to the fearless Me @sibelataogul.bsky.social fighting the good fight in this case!

Please stop this.

Reporter: I was watching your face during the meeting.. what was going through your mind when the President talked about erasing the border.. Carney: I’m glad that you couldn’t tell what was going through my mind Reporter: Oh I could

Indigenous peoples to Albertan separatists: “sure, you can leave Canada, but you can’t take our land with you!”

Congratulations 🥳 Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social. Canadian women got you over the line, please return our Ministry which we have had since 1971, and whose mandate remains unfulfilled. #cdnpoli

The quiet part out loud: Jordan Peterson, who advises Pierre Poilievre, lamenting on Trump’s intervention in the Canadian election, because Mark Carney will be able to stand up to Trump. #cdnpoli

www.montrealgazette.com/news/article... Poilievre following in Trump’s anti-higher ed footsteps.

wish I could answer performance questions at work like Poilievre does, demanding my superiors stand twenty feet back and only ask questions I've already vetted with no followup whatsoever
