Not now, haunted Victorian shoes

I put together this absolute beauty and feel like I deserve some recognition for it 😂

I’m fine but I’m also this:

“And again she felt alone in the presence of her old antagonist, life.” To The Lighthouse Virginia Woolf

Just adding my Toronto sunset pics to the mix.

"But up until two weeks ago, at least some of the 30,000 kilometres of snowmobile trails in Ontario were going to be closed this winter...That was until the Ministry of Transportation came through with a $3.9-million cheque.." Hope none of them get hurt out there, the wait at an ER could kill them.

i need to believe in the person i’m lying to myself about becoming tomorrow morning

Looks like it’s time for somebody to get another MRI.

I can’t stress enough how bad this is. Just the worst possible thing for education.

the difference in release points between trey yesavage and tyler rogers is one lebron

There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom

someone should invent a thing that's like a university but it's goal is to facilitate learning

What a terrible time to be a good person

Curiously worded (and spuriously located?) heritage sign by Southampton’s harbourfront

I knocked over my coffee but managed to catch it before it fell off the desk and only spilled a little bit so I guess I am all powerful.

Tokyo Drift except it’s me trying to get through this heavy slush in my minivan.

I can attest to printing out an extra 10% of exams in the OpenDyslexie font, just in case any dyslexic or ADHD students would feel more comfortable with it. So far, nobody has died from my act of flagrant wokeness.

My son almost died from RSV when he was two

I was down at the cold and windy lake today, and this sweet boy came up to me. He was cautious but gave me kisses and brought his ball to me to throw. His owner said he’s very scared of strangers so he must really like me. So anyway, I would now die for this dog and desperately need one of my own.

Let's make Meghan's life's work Open Access! Chip in if you can... gofund.me/08aa0ed6b

Today's artist without a (known) birthday: Robert Peake. Hailed from Lincolnshire, came to London, made it big against stiff competition from Dutch & Flemish painters. Here Frances, Lady Reynell, 1595.

Today, we remember the fourteen young women whose lives were stolen at Polytechnique Montréal 36 years ago. Their names are a solemn reminder of the devastating toll of gender-based violence — and the responsibility that comes with our remembrance.

I remember.

Please enjoy this cursed goldfish my kid made in felting club today 😂

I'm proud to announce that I've been self-awarded the 2025 FIFA Prize for History.

This small bronze figurine of a naked Gaulish woman projects great vulnerability - which was certainly the point, but not in a good way. She's identified by her torc and represents the eroticization of a conquered people. 🏺 Found in the River Seine, Paris. Roman, 100-200 CE. #BritishMuseum 📸 me

Antonius Anselmus, his wife, & 2 kids who are in Cute Baby Pix of the Past competition. As painted by Maerten de Vos, whose day is today. What is with large bug on son’s apron tho? Worried.

The colour of the year is caucacity.

"Good evening, gentlemen and biological clocks."

Perky Lady Vanity by Hieronymus Janssens, pleased as punch to have A+ flowers painted around her by Daniel Seghers. Even if he was a Jesuit priest. It's his day today.

Not up to much. Just holding back the darkness.

Time Magazine quoting a @thebeaverton.com article about the US shooting a "patriot missile" at Parliament Hill like it's something Pete Hoekstra actually said might be my favourite moment of the week. Congrats, @ianmmacintyre.bsky.social, you very serious reporter! www.cbc.ca/news/world/b...

Froze my ass off at the lake this morning. Totally worth it.

Not a manic pixie dream girl, but a lethargic troll nightmare woman.

It’s really really tough when you have kids and have no family living nearby to help - no grandparents, aunties, uncles. For instance, you might find yourself taking one child to an important medical appointment at a hospital and having to take with you another child who has a bad tummy bug.

I really try to make jokes and find fun ways to spin terrible news on here, but I read this and the only thing I have to say about it is that Doug Ford is a piece of shit who shouldn't be running an Arby's, let alone a province. Fuck you, Doug. share.google/gPPqvtiuqD0O...

I know I got a few Toronto people in my feed

I will add the following: our students lack the research skills required to audit an LLM essay for errors. They don’t arrive on campus with these skills; we teach it to them over four long years. So throwing freshmen in the deep end and saying “swim your way to a shore of rectitude” is folly.

Dying things still get gilded by the setting sun.
