Shopping for some basics in Halifax at the local Shoppers Drug Mart & realizing how much of a premium we pay in the GTA for the basics 😵‍💫

Hello #Halifax!

Stuck on tarmac. @aircanada.bsky.social is consistently the worst airline for having last minute maintenance issues… Is there a reason these issues can’t be cleared before boarding everyone & having us sit twiddling our thumbs?

Two things that tell me it’s unlikely we’ll be friends: 1) You don’t like dogs or cats 2) You rip out a garden or cut down an old tree to pour concrete instead. #gardening

Hubs is back home from work travels & cooking up a feast while I enjoy a glass of wine…it’s a #HappySaturday at the Moirs 😊

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her. Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

Who else was woken up at the crack of dawn by their excited munchkin who HAD TO listen to Life of a Showgirl by #taylorswift before school? 🫩 ☕️☕️☕️☕️

Finally managed to get a photo of the two of us without Harrison trying to lick my face 😂 #dogsofsky #HappyThursday

#RIP Jane Goodall. You will always be one of my Sheros 🤍

Todays photo memory reminding me:1) I would have failed in a career as a hairdresser, 2) munchkin’s smiles (then & now) are the cutest ❤️ #Academicsky

She is a leader to be proud of.

Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day – a time to raise awareness for the ongoing impacts of residential school and remember the children who never came home.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Apparently I am a masochist - started listening to Dan Brown’s latest & it covers the topic of consciousness… oh no 😬 #booksky #neurosky

Trying to read but Harrison won’t stop whining cause I’m not sharing my spicy crackers…#dogsofsky #saturday

I’m teaching this term. So Sundays are work days cause there’s no time during the week between meetings, admin, grad training & research to lecture prep. I don’t know how new faculty are expected to prep 2-3 courses/term, maintain high research productivity & have time for family & themselves.

Actual good news! 🌊 🐳 💙 www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/c...

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Just canceled our #Disneysubscription. Reason given:

#AcademicSky A student emailed me asking me to send them a summary of my research so they can decide if they are interested in joining my lab… 👀

What an amazing movie. And yes, it seems like we don’t learn from history.

Loved watching Redford movies growing up. He was an icon. #RIP

Some days the idea of moving off the grid to a cabin in woods (by a beautiful lake/river) and immersing yourself in nature sounds heavenly … #nature

A new study finds dozens of heat waves would be "virtually impossible" without the activity of major fossil fuel producers, including oil companies.
