On a flight from Toronto to Atlanta last week, the pilot announced we had moved to a lower flight level because of staffing shortages in air traffic control! When do planes start flying with hazard flights flashing...

Sad the #bluejays lost but honestly could not have handled another extra inning game, especially after the clocks changed

This motion is very disturbing, and I very much hope it won't pass, but in my reading of the text, I only see mention of access to the identity, comments, and scores of the evaluation committee, not to peer reviewers. Either way, demanding access to this information is very problematic

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy holidays to all who celebrate 🌰

Farewell to my trusty steed (who was apparently liberated by a stranger on Front Street last night)! I bought her at a Halfords during my postdoc in the UK 20 years ago and we spent so much time together (especially during the pandemic) in and around Toronto #biketo

A beautiful day for the last paddle of the summer

Atmospheric Physics faculty position at Univ of Toronto - help us make use of satellite and aircraft capabilities that are on their way in Canada! jobs.utoronto.ca/job/Toronto-...

I'm really noticing how it's getting harder to be relatable to undergrads. My first year teaching I remember saying "10 years ago, I was sitting where you are now" and this semester I had to go with "I've been a professor as long as you've been alive" (insert out-of-touch Simpsons reference)

Is there anything more Canadian than cutting down a pine tree that your flag got tangled up in?

A tactical blunder putting off my cottage holiday until so late that overnight lows are in the single (°C) digits, but the views are still great and I might work up the courage to swim...

Organic Supermicron Particles Really Emitted, Yes

Very fun show and a short commute on line 2 to a part of town that really screams “indeterminate 1900s era vibes”

I'm sure there's some other flavor of nerds hanging around if you look hard enough

Thanks for your advocacy!

I suspect that spending a week in hospital this spring after rupturing my appendix made Small Rain by @garthgreenwell.bsky.social especially meaningful to me, but the descriptions of home renovation trauma and joy, the beauty of trees, and the close readings of poetry resonated too - such a pleasure
