It feels good to be able to cast my vote in a federal election in my home country again. It feels especially good to exercise my rights as a Canadian citizen on a day when the White House has reiterated its desire to annex my country. Elbows up πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

I designed the video partly as an accessible introduction to sign language music for students, so I hope you will consider adding it to your courses!

Bought a copy of @amaler.bsky.social 's book, Seeing Voices, and it's mind-blowing. So well written, describes the history & innovations of sign-language music, and sheds new light on music theory, voice theory, language embodiment, and intersections of art forms. πŸŽΆπŸ§πŸ»β€β™€οΈβœ¨ global.oup.com/academic/pro...
