Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

My list would include many already mentioned but haven’t seen these two yet (though I could be wrong).

I remember how much my high school was rocked by the tragic shootings at Ecole Polytechnique. Never forget! Never accept this kind of violence in Canada!

Thank you Troy Stetcher for being a warrior for the #Oilers over the past few seasons! Best wishes on the #Leafs! Stetcher was a versatile and reliable depth defenseman, which all teams need and will be missed! Let’s go Regula and Emberson! It’s your time now!

Finishing off the day at #Gardner25 with a presentation by @susmcgowan.bsky.social and her colleagues at Georgetown, Julio and Aranza, on their work to support first gen students.

Addressing curricular complexity can reduce excess credit accumulation, lower time to completion rates, increase student persistance and increase graduation rates! #gardner25. www.chronicle.com/article/is-y...

As we kick off the first full day of the Gardner Institute Symposium, excited to be talking about curricular analytics and curricular complexity! #Gardner25

Drew Koch: Relationships are the most important feature of successful innovation! Harnessing relationship-rich learning environments can result in transformative change, inspired by the work of @peterfelten.bsky.social, Leo Lambert, @isisartzevega.bsky.social, and Oscar Miranda Tapia. #Gardner25

Drew Koch: Intentional innovation requires being “positively restless”, thinking beyond individual solutions, thinking and acting symbiotically, making tough choices for scale, constantly assessing and iterating, and knowing it takes years to get hard things done! #Gardner25

@drjessicariddell.bsky.social’s presence is felt at the Gardner Institute’s Symposium where Drew Koch is delivering the opening keynote on harnessing hope for relationship-rich learning environments. “To transform one must deliberately choose and scale transformative innovations!” #Gardner25

Excited to be at the Gardner Institute Symposium where I helped facilitate the Teaching & Learning Community pre-conference workshop with Mays Imad, @joshuacaulkins.bsky.social , @dewsbury.bsky.social, Stephanie Foote, and Victoria Fields. #Gardner25

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

Inspired by @datlow.bsky.social & @thehighsign.bsky.social, I just submitted a comment on ABC's decision re: Kimmel. Join me? support.abc.com/hc/en-us/req...

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

ABC should be ashamed! I am genuinely gobsmacked!!

What an incredible 60 minutes for #VWFC!!

Can I pet dat dawg? (From just down the road from my place) #okanaganliving

“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.

TUESDAY: Stephen Colbert criticizes CBS News' $16 million settlement with Trump, calling the payment to resolve Trump's absurd lawsuit it a "big fat bribe." THURSDAY: CBS News announcing it is canceling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Last episode will be May 2026

Knowledge unbound welcomes @drjessicariddell.bsky.social to the studio. We talk hope, and journeys to hope a beautifully described in her book Hope Circuits. Catch this episode on Spotify, YouTube.com/@SEAS or at knowledge unbound.transistor.fm.

This week we talk to Sarah Rose Cavanagh about her books on the psychology of ourselves and our students. We talk hiveminds, sparks, monsters, and even musical theatre. You can catch us at our website knowledgeunbound.transistor.fm, our Youtube channel youtube.com/@SEASProgram or Spotify.

AI hallucination? Perhaps this could be used as an example by educators with students in supporting AI literacy. There are useful frameworks emerging to help student understand the opportunities and (more importantly) challenges of AI use, such as: www.digitaleducationcouncil.com/post/digital...

Obviously it's my classes 🤣👌😍

Never in doubt!!! #letsgoOilers

I love #Andor speaking to the moment we’re in now, especially in Mon Mothma’s speech in ep.9 — “When the truth dies, we become vulnerable to the monster who screams the loudest.” … “The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil.” #starwars

#neverindoubt #letsgoOilers

It really is this simple. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Apparently his orangeness is going all in, so might I remind you #maythefourth

How’s your evening going? #nhl #nhloilers #letsgoOilers

Tariff pain is not shared equally: The less money you make, the more Trump's proposed higher taxes on imports will hurt. That does not mean middle-class or wealthy Americans are going to escape unscathed.

#RIP @brucemccurdy.bsky.social You will be missed by #Oilers fanes everywhere!

Annual Gary Cable Project charity concert goes Saturday in Kelowna #Kelowna

This is a powerful line from what I hope will be a tremendously important moment! It gives me some heart that people are standing up … we need more to do so! (From an interested observer north of the border!)

Cory Booker, winding down: "We need a greater love in this country a greater fight in this country a greater determination." And re: Strom Thurmond: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. The people are more powerful."

Congrats to the Okanagan Spirits Distillery for their outstanding showing at the World Spirits Awards in Germany! They received 11 golds and 5 silvers … in line with my perspective of this surprising gem of the Okanagan! They make some amazing whisky, gin, and other spirits!
