Cover of 1957 booklet "Services of national traffic safety agencies: a presentation" from the National Safety Council. Header reads "Time for decision in states and communities" above an illustration of a man in a suit standing at a fork in the road facing two diverging highways. A signpost holds four arrows with text; in one direction "Accidents" and Losses;" in the other, "Safety" and "Growth."

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Cancel the LA Olympics, scrap the World Cup, the United States cannot be a trusted part of the international community so long as the White House operates this violently and with impunity.

I’m actually the other side of the speeding debate. I don’t think any vehicle should be able to go faster than a person

A lot of education discourse is at root an inability to decide whether the purpose of our education system is to 1) teach material and measure learning 2) reward students who work hard 3) separate the smart kids (destined for smart guy jobs) from the dumb kids (destined to serve the smart guys)

Good luck!

Of course wearing a poppy is a political statement. Just because something is common or mundane doesn't mean it's not political. It's also why I don't wear one anymore, and won't until Remembrance day is about why I was asked to go make sacrifices, instead of just blindly thanking me for doing so.

'I just want to learn': Students in limbo as many Dalhousie classes cancelled amid strike | CBC News Classes at Dalhousie University are supposed to start on Tuesday, but most have been cancelled due to a strike.

Not just classes are cancelled. DFA members have been locked out by the admin since August 20th: we can't sign students in from waitlists, can't advise them, can't share syllabi, can't help them with scholarship applications, etc. etc.

DS9 scene. Rom is a Ferengi hero who has a large bald head and giant ears and lobes that sort of connect to make a unibrow and a ribbed pine cone looking nose. He's wearing a jacket that looks like those lick and stick backsplash tiles you can get at Lowe's. He's pictured here standing in a corridor, talking to someone and holding/reading a PADD. Closed caption reads, "Workers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains."

The @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board of Governors' "offer" for interest arbitration won't resolve this. It's just creating further delays. Bargaining on the issues important to our members is required. Stop with the stunts, let's get back to the table and talk. It's the only way to #KeepDalStrong

I feel so bad for my students. They have received no communication. Will they just show up for class on Tuesday and find an empty room? Even the auto-reply on my email has been disabled.

It's now a week since @dalfaculty.bsky.social members were locked out by Dal's board. No access to our physical & virtual workspaces. My students & TAs are left stressed about what will happen next week & I am so angry for them. Do better @dalhousie.bsky.social Get back to the table & #KeepDalStrong

Patti Doyle-Bedwell is on DFA’s Bargaining Team. She urges the @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board to come back to the table- we are now on day 7 of complete silence from the Board. Time to talk, don’t you think? #keepdalstrong @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social

Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

Been trying to post this all morning but pleased to say we’ve been too busy speaking with students and parents about being locked out and what this means for the semester! Come find us from 1130 to 230 every day of lockout between SUB and McCain! #KeepDalStrong @dalfaculty.bsky.social
