Want to catch a recording of the debate I did at @ubcokanagan.bsky.social on whether there is a crisis in masculinity? You're in luck! You can listen to the audio on YouTube (www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VyS...) or SoundCloud (soundcloud.com/ubcokanagan/...). It was a good night with interesting folks

Hey Folks, check out this new 2SLGBTQIA+ Support Guide: Nova Scotia & Canada (buff.ly/w52nvto) published by @SMUarts.bsky.social and @cifrs.org using work from our Countering Anti-2SLGBTQIA+ Misinformation in Rural Canada project. This guide aims to promote awareness, reduce barriers, and support.

It is new publication day. YEAH! You can check my our new chapter - Sex, Gender, Sexuality and the Outdoor Leisure Body - from the book Inclusion and Equity in Outdoor Leisure: Whose Body Belongs? (www.cabidigitallibrary.org/doi/book/10....) Also starring Drs. Carr & Baker. Reach out for a copy.

I'm editing a special issue of World Leisure Journal with my friend Dr. Paulo Ravecca. Our friends at CANSES have posted the call for us (buff.ly/C7oHcif) and you can also find the call here (buff.ly/rDeeFkM). Check out the cool format we are using where we are calling for interdisciplinary teams!

They’ve started running Dick Cheney through the Charlie Kirk sanitation machine. The man pushed false WMD claims, justified torture, and expanded unchecked executive power after 9/11. He showed zero remorse for the hundreds of thousands who died in Iraq. Like… stop it.

Why are we so committed to the #enshitification of EVERYTHING? The Halifax airport has made the super decision to remove all the tables that you can sit at like a human being and actually do something productive because.... No reason? It isn't even like they replaced them. Just empty space. WTF?

I can tell you right now, opening a box of Triscuits and finding out that there is no salt on them is...truly...terrible. I feel sad.

It's new article day! So excited that this piece with @luccousineau.bsky.social and @iamryanhopkins.bsky.social is out in the world. In it we work through our experiences studying the far-right & propose some ways universities can better support students. journals.library.brocku.ca/index.php/SS...

If you are interested, you can catch me as the call-in guest on Maritime Noon (www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...) with CBC Radio tomorrow at noon Atlantic - www.cbc.ca/listen/live-.... We will be talking about online misogyny and the real-world impacts on kids, classrooms, teachers, and all of our lives.

Come on #McDonalds #Canada. I don't want a paper cup. I don't care about monopoly. I just want you to give me my tea in my reusable cup so I can feel better about the world I am forced to live in...but no. You will not. Why don't we go back to plastic straws while we're at it because fuck turtles...

Hey folks, check out this new call for papers in World Leisure Journal that I am co-editing with my colleague Dr. Paulo Ravecca. Should wind up being really interesting. Leisure and the Far Right: Critical Interdisciplinary Interventions

Oh yes, you understand that correctly. The @Dalhousie.bsky.social administration has walked itself straight into another job action through its unfair treatment of its employees. When are we going to collectively make a statement that the problem is the leaders, not the workers? #KeepDalStrong

Don't let the craziness of the world let you forget about the fact that failure to create spaces where pedestrians and cyclists can be safe in cities is a moral failure of government and elected officials. People die. They do nothing. It is shameful. #Guelph #VisionZero #TrafficCalming

You know about NSPM-7 and why it matters? No? You should. It is a National Security order in the US that criminalizes dissent. That should matter to you. You can read about why it matters in my new post with @CIFRS.org. Know about NSPM-7? Read the blog anyway. www.cifrs.org/post/what-is...

Well, just gonna put this pre-made lasagne into the oven to cook and...HOLY SHIT! 32 MINUTES IN THE MICROWAVE?! That is how we got the ninja turtles in an alternate timeline. I'm sure of it.

Just gonna leave this here for the @dalhousie.bsky.social admin as a reminder of how they might better think about their current situation and jobs. No Dal without @dalfaculty.bsky.social and we will bring the school forward. #KeepDalStrong

Today I am attending the GEO Nova Scotia Forum (geonovascotia.ca) on #DigitalInclusion. Just heard the #NovaScotia Minister of Cyber Security and Digital Solutions announce that this week is now "Digital Inclusion Week in Nova Scotia". This is, and I can't stress enough, a nothingburger. No action.

"Faith in the AI boom has recently been rattled by research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which showed that 95% of organisations are getting zero return from their investments in generative AI" Maybe this is why we need journalism and analysis rather than "faith" in tech oligarchs

Israel has continued to illegally intercept vessels from the Sumud Flotilla. As Canada says it's “not able to guarantee the safety of Canadian travelers, or to provide them with security and protection abroad," the people are defending the flotilla. Protests are sparking around the world:

I've been invited to participate in the UBCO Debates series this month. The topic: Masculinity in Crisis 💪 Should be a great night on October 21. If you are in Kelowna, consider coming out. Info here: ok.ubc.ca/ubc-okanagan... #Debate #PublicDiscourse #Masculinity #PublicScholarship

Appreciation post for Tim "walk up the damn stairs" Walz who is one of the people saying the shit we are all thinking. 💪🔥

FFS I hate this timeline...

Last week, Trump declared “Antifa” a domestic terrorist organization. This is why the far-right in the US & Canada see it as an obstacle that has to be cleared in order to carry out their smash-and-grab of the political establishment. 👇 🧵 www.antihate.ca/trump_lying_...

The fight for fair wages, compensation, and working conditions at major public institutions like @dalhousie.bsky.social IS NOT OVER! The @dalfaculty.bsky.social will be right back to this in just 2 1/2 short years, but our colleagues in CUPE 3912 are in it right now! Support them! #KeepDalStrong

Based on a project that I did with my excellent colleague Dr. Mandi Baker and Camp Menesetung (www.campmenesetung.ca), we are giving a webinar with the ACA on October 21st. Interested in #SummerCamp? #Inclusion? Welcoming #LGBTQIA+ #youth? This is for you. acai.wildapricot.org/event-6280906

Oh, you thought because I wasn't angry posting every day about the stupid @dalhousie.bsky.social lockout that I had calmed down about the whole thing and everything was ok? Nope. The semester is a dumpster fire 🔥🔥🔥 Students are rightfully pissed 🤬🤬🤬 and I'M 👏 FUCKING 👏 TIRED 👏 #KeepDalStrong

No question, when @Dalhousie.bsky.social tells students that they will not receive any tuition concessions for the reduced course time, content, and learning caused by Dal's lockout of @dalfaculty.bsky.social, they are clearly stating they care more about student money than students. #KeepDalStrong

This isn't an "accident". It is a grotesque failure of policy, government, municipalities, and citizens to privilege life and safety over cars. We should be absolutely ashamed by every pedestrian death. #PedestrianSafety #ActiveTransportation #CititesForPeople www.guelphtoday.com/police/guelp...

This is so painfully correct.

Jimmy Kimmel is a symptom of a huge problem: a concentrated media ecosystem beholden to corporate whims. Canadian media struggles with this too. Consider Global News' management making Ben Mulroney a top political host. It's a worryingly partisan decision, especially given what I just uncovered:

That's it. That's the post about no one in particular.

I, for one, am shocked that the fascists would declare the anti-fascists a terrorist organization. 😯😯😯 This can also be your semi-regular reminder that we don't have a terroristic far-left in North America and really never have. The idea that we do is propaganda. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...

Well, the ratification vote closes at 11:59am this morning and will likely end the lockout by @dalhousie.bsky.social of the @dalfaculty.bsky.social. Remember folks that they never have YOUR best interests in mind. Don't work for free. Work starts TOMORROW. Delete emails. Take a walk. #KeepDalStrong

You have perhaps seen this breaking information about the @dalhousie.bsky.social lockout. www.dal.ca/dept/hr/labo... Don't put the cart before the horse here. None of the DFA general membership has seen the deal, and WE get to decide what happens next. Is just ANY deal good? no. #KeepDalStrong

Well, here we are, still locked out by @Dalhousie.bsky.social. They are keeping students out of class. They are stopping research from happening. They are preventing new grants for Dal. They have already withheld $10M from Faculty. Do THEY have Dal's best interests in mind? #KeepDalStrong

If you are (or your kids are) Robert Munsch fans, please take the time to read this article about him. It is very well written and gives food for thought about our own mortality, the mind, and how we maintain who we are. #ChildrensBooks #Canada #CanadianAuthors www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...

Can we also spend a minute to acknowledge the fact that also in the US, also a few days ago, two ACTUAL POLITICIANS were killed in what the US Attorney calls "a political assassination" and we aren't talking about it? This bullshit isn't about anything other than far-right accelerationism.

That's it. That's the post. Week 4 #KeepDalStrong

Make absolutely no mistake and don't be fooled by the game of PR slight-of-hand being played by the administration of @Dalhousie.bsky.social. They locked us out. They have not bargained in good faith. They tell you half-truths. They are hurting students & Dal. Support Labour. #KeepDalStrong

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

ICE threw me and other protestors to the ground on Friday because we dared to stand up for our neighbors. I’m okay, but our communities aren’t. We can't afford apathy or inaction from our leaders right now. Abolishing ICE is a moral necessity.

I hate the dark plausibility of this theory. This means it is likely true.

If you aren't deeply concerned about what is happening to @rachelgilmore.bsky.social and others as they are subjected to threats and various types of violence then you 👏 are 👏 part 👏 of 👏 the 👏 problem #PayAttention #SpeakUp #DefendOthers #DontBeAWeirdBigot #SupportRachel

"Here we are, with a legally-trained President once again electing to violate the duty to bargain in good faith as a tactic". Every member of the @dalfaculty.bsky.social wants to work. Stop this nonsense @dalhousie.bsky.social & bargain in good faith! #KeepDalStrong www.reddit.com/r/Dalhousie/...

Maybe @dalhousieu.bsky.social needs more of a visual to get them on board… without @dalfaculty.bsky.social members, not much is getting done. #keepdalstrong

There is not a more fitting image considering @Dalhousie.bsky.social has already missed significant funding deadlines because of their lockout of @dalfaculty.bsky.social. Likley to lose millions of 💲💲💲 in research funding over the next few years because of their choices. #SAD #KeepDalStrong 💸💸💸💸💸💸💸

This is the roles and responsibilities of the @Dalhousie.bsky.social Board of Governors. Looking at this document and thinking about their performance (word used on purpose) during the lockout of the @Dalfaculty.bsky.social, we graded their performance. It isn't great. #DoBetter #KeepDalStrong

Hello Canadian Friends. Get your bread money. www.canadianbreadsettlement.ca

Why are we treating Charlie Kirk like some kind of hero or martyr? If you are not a White dude (capital used on purpose), that guy was terrible. He didn't think you were a person and didn't GAF about anyone else. Kids got killed at a school yesterday. KIDS. 👶 Care about that! WTF are we doing?

Don't be fooled by @Dalhousie.bsky.social's newest "offer" and the abhorrent tactics they are rolling out. They are angling for narrative control in service of weakening CBAs in NS, in higher ed in Canada (to fuel their management consultant-fueled corporitization), and across Canada. #KeepDalStrong
