Running on Cal is a bad idea #Mariners

I can't stop watching this clip. 🤣

Look what we're up to @uoftsociology.bsky.social!

At least it's starting now, so there is less time overlap. 😅

Another #sociology job

Is this just how I live now? Or does it get better? 👀

In February, Trump imposed a 25% across the board tariff on Canadian goods.

Chaos ensued.
