A pretty wonderful Mi’kmaw word and its hieroglyphic or komqwejwi’kasikl form, as used in a Michelle Sylliboy poem. The hieroglyphs are often said to date from the 17th century, but most Mi’kmaq believe they’re much older.

I replaced doomscrolling with @rebeccaromney.com, and I highly recommend it. (Taking a break from Tom Jones bc Libby runs my life)

I think about this a lot -- and also that the public wants to hear about what we learn, more than we think.

#Gaza: we are appalled and saddened by the killing of our colleague Hussam Al Loulou by an airstrike. His wife and 28-year-old daughter were also killed in this horrendous attack. This is the second killing of an MSF colleague in just two weeks. www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/gaza-msf-mou...

"In Canada, where people don’t fear bankruptcy for seeking care, patients come in and they just talk to you, about doctor things. That’s a profound relief, for them and me."

Himes: "Apparently all this mayhem is cheered by the president of the United States and by 20-somethings with laptops and names like Big Balls. But I've been doing this for a long time, and I know that Moscow and Beijing and Tehran and Pyongyang cannot believe their luck."

So it turns out Pete Hegseth lied. And Michael Waltz lied. And Tulsi Gabbard lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And John Ratliffe lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And as ever Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic were telling the truth. This is why journalism matters.

Up next in our Issue 7 countdown is 'Gendered Dehumanisation; Labour, Oppression, and Resistance of the Enslaved Women of Colour of Saint- Domingue in the Long Nineteenth Century' by Calyx Palmer (@kingscollegelondon.bsky.social). Read now on RRR website! Abstract for Issue 8 due 18 April 2025! /2

Just finished rereading Charlotte Brontë's Villette, & this time round, its ending strikes me as one of the most romantic ever, maybe b/c I inhabit an age of hiring freezes & academic precarity. M. Paul loves Lucy Snowe, & to demonstrate it, he gives her a classroom in which to teach. Swoon! #19thc

I just want to do my work, man. That’s all any of us want to do.

“Borderlands are sites of mystery, but they are also theatres where, as often as not, tragedy unfolds… where the dead still linger and the living come, on special occasions, to grieve.” —“Borderlands”, by John Burnside www.thebottleimp.org.uk/2012/05/bord...

Trump says Canadians are "nasty." He is trying so hard to build a narrative around a whole country of human beings. Not true about trees but pretty sure some folks will believe him. But yeah, we regulate the exploitation of our environment. You literally need trees to breathe dumbass.

I can't believe we are in a position where we have to protect ourselves from the American government. It's surreal. I want to shake it off, wake up, turn on the television and laugh at an American sitcom. But now it's just dark.
