What's the best biography you've read? What made it standout?

Few things bring me more joy than smoking and eating a mess of mackerel with my one-eyed cat.

Excited this piece with Kim Shore is now published in Sport History Review. We reflected on our roles with Scholars Against Abuse in Canadian Sport and Gymnasts for Change Canada, what collaboration has meant, and the overall evolution of our work together. journals.humankinetics.com/view/journal...

Bonjour

Feels like Americans have a very brief window of time remaining to extend their era of democracy.

Here's a bunch of fish. They go in my belly. That is all.

Coffee is amazing. Whoever first picked up some dirty bean water and hammered it back deserves a monument. Big risk, big reward.

Smoked mackerel spread is so good. Caught it. Smoked it. Mashed it together with cream cheese, sour cream, green onion, parsley, and seasoning. Put it in my belly.

You like smoked mackerel? I made smoked mackerel

Let's goooo

Yeah, Bobby. Not cool.

Crawford threw and landed more than Canelo, but a bunch of folks are saying Crawford "ran the whole time." That was a boxing clinic. Crawford did everything but sit Canelo down at a school desk and bust out the chalk board. Lessons and levels were on display last night. #boxing 🤯

This was so painfully predictable, that people would retaliate by harassing Black folks

Black students. Young Black people. Targeted for … going to school. The thing this country is always lecturing Black kids about doing.

Have a student from Digby. Made sure he was aware that he was looking at one of the Baddeck fellars who came into the Raven's nest to win the provincial championship in 2001.

The Baddeck collection continues to grow. The Jessica Wong rookie card arrived today 👀

$135!?!?

As Patricia Hill Collins suggests, "critical" work that fails to challenge an oppressive status quo is simply "academic bullshit." Do something.

"Democratic institutions that once offered such promise for realizing ideals of freedom, social justice, equality, and human rights are increasingly hollowed out from within by leaders who seem more committed to holding on to power than to serving the people" - Patricia Hill Collins

Always wanted to rent this from B&M Video in Baddeck back in the day. "He is the only animal other than man that kills for revenge." Let's go, Orca. Get'm.

On 27 August 1752, Captain George Fothrington lost his dog in Halifax. A one-eyed pug named Mopsey. Anyone seen it?

Good night by the water.

Far too often National Sports Organizations succumb to this sort of hypocrisy. Some people's human rights are valued more than others. Some are accorded humanity, some are not. It's blatant discrimination.

I deboned a mackerel. Getting fancy over here in Eastern Passage.

Slippers are a game changer. Not sure how I went this long without. It's going to be a productive day.

The Henry Armstrong of academia. The champ champ champ. Congrats man.

Proud to be one of the over 400+ signatories to this letter. The show can't go on, folks. Don't play with genocide.
