Teaching my preservice teacher education course (social studies) started to class by viewing images from Artemis II astronauts-then talking about “why social studies matters”…I had to pause with extreme emotion thought I was totally fine-wasn’t expecting to get so emotional.Felt an elephant in room

So easy to cheat daily-ink.davidtruss.com/so-easy-to-c...

Artemis II sent a pic of the beautiful garden planet we are too greedy, lazy, short-sighted, and ungrateful not to destroy:

I showed this graph in class yesterday on how measles cases in the United States plummeted dramatically after the vaccine was licensed in 1963. It’s not subtle and I could not resist observing: “This stunning design in measles cases was not thanks to vitamin A. It was not due to beef tallow.”

February 1 in Hamilton- the harbour is frozen with a few brave ice fishers way out there.. and folks ice skating at Princess Point - lots of hikers, people on bikes… and the bluest of blue winter sky overhead. Cold air, super bright sun…today was a mind-winter gift. #Hamont

Hamilton, Ontario under a blanket of snow. This is looking downtown and toward Strathcona Neighborhood -Queen street doesn’t look too bad (although I’m not driving on it 😬) #Hamont. And.. the Bay is mostly frozen over, I could see a tent on ice in Cootes area.

I’m wondering- Teachers, Professors, Instructors - will you drop your planned lesson and instead show/discuss Mark Carney’s speech tomorrow? Or did you already? If so please share context, grade and discussion . If not, share your worry, hesitation. It will be in history books. One day.

Someone asks me how I afford to travel and pay for kids education (I’m a teacher). I track/ budget my money -down to the cent. I have a spreadsheet. Every bill/purchase is documented so when I reach the assigned limit -I don’t buy it or alter spending .

Snowed all day, and now the sun sets over Hamilton Ontario. I love how the light reflects here .. with the Niagara Escarpment catching the last glow. I hope you all had a good day in your part of the world.❤️#hamiltontario #Hamont

Bob Weir remained completely in touch with the Grateful Dead’s wild wonder. I’ll never forget playing with him | Aaron Dessner

Just putting this out there. Learned Bob Weir passed away. Gosh.. those were some good times. I still have a great tapes (yes tapes) cd and album collection that I’ll hold on too. youtu.be/AWuQiGaIsso?...

Most weeknights,I see an older man in fitness room of my building -usually doing a 5km fast walk.On weekends,often see him outside walking. Today-we stopped to chat. He said that he’d rather be outside but he has to be careful “a man of my age” due to ice. Almost 96- he tells me.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Smoke and mirrors. Mandating titles and surnames may look good on the surface but this is a way to distract from actual conditions that actually create respectful classrooms. Feeling safe..current resources, meaningful/classroom supports, feeling seen…

For fun, I enjoy travel vids - enjoy travelling more 😬 I have a plan. For now - here is my an amateur,non-AI, created by me -our 1st leg of a car/boat/bike trip across Belize- spending a couple days in Caye Calker (which was enough). Then heading to Placencia- youtu.be/JsP9Mwg0Rcc?...

We stopped the pressure of buying gifts for everyone at Christmas. It caused stress and debt. Now each person brings ONE gift for a simple exchange. No expectations for our adult kids. We focus on being together instead. Anyone else change traditions to meet reality of our times?

Welcome winter! Here’s a glimpse of our first mini snowstorm- downtown Hamilton #hamont

I made this a few years ago and used it as warm up discussion with my enrichment students who love talking about anything world related.Sharing again… collection of ideas/facts about why we change our clocks (daylight savings)Some links may be out of date #teachers . docs.google.com/presentation...

#hamont our city water smells like chlorine - a little more than usual. Anyone else noticing? I’m noticing this both at home and work (my students ask me what the smell is)

Hamilton Ontario area- is there an organization (or individuals) - for pay or volunteer - who will have regular visits with a person in a LTC home? Just sit, talk, listen to radio, go for walk?

@joeycoleman.ca just witness a rope rescue- Queen75 rope platform seemed to fall, leaving a man dangling- fortunately in a harness and appeared alert .HFD rescued by breaking window and pulling him in. #hamont

"Oxford becomes first UK university to offer ChatGPT Edu to all staff and students" - imagining a lot of staff there pretty upset about, but also it says much about OpenAI's education strategy that it's targeted Oxford as its first institutional capture in the UK www.ox.ac.uk/news/2025-09...

I just watched a YouTube video that, made me super upset by its use of scewed data - extreme bias and only showing a tiny fraction of what is actually true. The video focuses on showcasing Canadian cities. At first I thought it was satire.

If you are anywhere around Toronto or GTA- I recommend checking out the Humber River Salmon run! A fun FREE day trip - typically runs from early September through late Oct… even early Nov- It’s a lot of fun - easy to get to by subway.Last year I shared experience - youtu.be/Vm5OTs2qN-Q?...

read a post about how much contact parents have with their AWAY college/uni kid-really differs depending on the kid-your relationship- their needs.I have 2 boys-one calls every night to do NYR puzzles-the other would be fine hearing from us once p/month. Love them both-they just have different needs

My usual hill to die on-let’s stop using food as a reward/manipulative in schools.I know it’s well-intentioned, but it disrespects reality of kids who face poverty…may not have secure access-ignores allergies,health and culture/religion-it teaches a disjointed message about what food should mean.

This is a good article to help travellers who are stranded or may need support with extra costs and knowing your rights airpassengerrights.ca/en/

Air Canada could fix this NOW with a fair deal for flight attendants. AC is holding passengers hostage instead - Enough.Give them a fair deal -what is deserved. So many people need to get home for work and families. Will you pay our extra costs while we wait? #aircanadastrike

"No, we can't agree to disagree. This isn't sports. This isn't us rooting for 2 different teams and the winner of the game has no impact on your life, my life or our kids' lives. You support someone who promises to hurt me and people I love. As Charlie Chaplin said, "I don't shake hands with Nazis."
