Good news everyone, a book I'm in just got published!
Do I have access to the finished product at this time? No.
Can I share my chapter with you yet? No.
Am I going to receive a print version of the book I contributed to without compensation? No.
Is academic publishing completely fucked? Yes.
It is completely unacceptable to contribute to a book and not even get a paper copy of that book.
This isn't ok.
Stop writing for these companies and stop asking your friends to write on your projects if they aren't getting a book.
I was told "request a desk copy".

Want to catch a recording of the debate I did at @ubcokanagan.bsky.social on whether there is a crisis in masculinity?
You're in luck!
You can listen to the audio on YouTube (www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VyS...) or SoundCloud (soundcloud.com/ubcokanagan/...).
It was a good night with interesting folks
Hey Folks, check out this new 2SLGBTQIA+ Support Guide: Nova Scotia & Canada (buff.ly/w52nvto) published by @SMUarts.bsky.social and @cifrs.org using work from our Countering Anti-2SLGBTQIA+ Misinformation in Rural Canada project.

Check out the cool format we are using where we are calling for interdisciplinary teams!
Theyβve started running Dick Cheney through the Charlie Kirk sanitation machine.
The man pushed false WMD claims, justified torture, and expanded unchecked executive power after 9/11. He showed zero remorse for the hundreds of thousands who died in Iraq.
Like⦠stop it.
Why are we so committed to the #enshitification of EVERYTHING?
The Halifax airport has made the super decision to remove all the tables that you can sit at like a human being and actually do something productive because....
No reason?
It isn't even like they replaced them. Just empty space. WTF?
I can tell you right now, opening a box of Triscuits and finding out that there is no salt on them is...truly...terrible.
I feel sad.
It's new article day! So excited that this piece with @luccousineau.bsky.social and @iamryanhopkins.bsky.social is out in the world. In it we work through our experiences studying the far-right & propose some ways universities can better support students.

If you are interested, you can catch me as the call-in guest on Maritime Noon (www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...) with CBC Radio tomorrow at noon Atlantic - www.cbc.ca/listen/live-....
We will be talking about online misogyny and the real-world impacts on kids, classrooms, teachers, and all of our lives.
Come on #McDonalds #Canada.
I don't want a paper cup. I don't care about monopoly. I just want you to give me my tea in my reusable cup so I can feel better about the world I am forced to live in...but no.
You will not.
Why don't we go back to plastic straws while we're at it because fuck turtles...
Hey folks, check out this new call for papers in World Leisure Journal that I am co-editing with my colleague Dr. Paulo Ravecca.

Message from Wanda M. Costen, Provost and Vice-President Academic at Dalhousie University, dated October 17, 2025, informing students, faculty, and staff about a potential CUPE Local 3912 strike. The notice explains that the strike could begin as early as October 21 if negotiations on October 20 are unsuccessful. It outlines possible impacts on classes and course delivery, emphasizes that most classes will continue, and directs students to their faculties for specific updates. The message expresses hope for a resolution and acknowledges the importance of CUPE members in university life.
Oh yes, you understand that correctly. The @Dalhousie.bsky.social administration has walked itself straight into another job action through its unfair treatment of its employees.
When are we going to collectively make a statement that the problem is the leaders, not the workers?

Photograph of a billboard with a photo of a child riding a bicycle and reads "There will never be a bell loud enough a helmet strong enough or clothing bright enough to make up for poor infrastructure". It is branded with the Vision Zero Vancouver logo and a QR code.
Don't let the craziness of the world let you forget about the fact that failure to create spaces where pedestrians and cyclists can be safe in cities is a moral failure of government and elected officials.
People die.
They do nothing.
It is shameful.

You know about NSPM-7 and why it matters?
No? You should. It is a National Security order in the US that criminalizes dissent. That should matter to you.
You can read about why it matters in my new post with @CIFRS.org.
Know about NSPM-7? Read the blog anyway.

Well, just gonna put this pre-made lasagne into the oven to cook and...HOLY SHIT! 32 MINUTES IN THE MICROWAVE?!
That is how we got the ninja turtles in an alternate timeline. I'm sure of it.
Just gonna leave this here for the @dalhousie.bsky.social admin as a reminder of how they might better think about their current situation and jobs.
No Dal without @dalfaculty.bsky.social and we will bring the school forward.

Today I am attending the GEO Nova Scotia Forum (geonovascotia.ca) on #DigitalInclusion.
Just heard the #NovaScotia Minister of Cyber Security and Digital Solutions announce that this week is now "Digital Inclusion Week in Nova Scotia".
This is, and I can't stress enough, a nothingburger. No action.
"Faith in the AI boom has recently been rattled by research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which showed that 95% of organisations are getting zero return from their investments in generative AI"
Maybe this is why we need journalism and analysis rather than "faith" in tech oligarchs
Israel has continued to illegally intercept vessels from the Sumud Flotilla.
As Canada says it's βnot able to guarantee the safety of Canadian travelers, or to provide them with security and protection abroad," the people are defending the flotilla.
Protests are sparking around the world:

Last week, Trump declared βAntifaβ a domestic terrorist organization.
This is why the far-right in the US & Canada see it as an obstacle that has to be cleared in order to carry out their smash-and-grab of the political establishment. π

Features images of rally participants and a call to action: 'Bring your friends and help us show Dal we need a fair deal now!' Social media handles and CUPE 3912 logo are also present.
The fight for fair wages, compensation, and working conditions at major public institutions like @dalhousie.bsky.social IS NOT OVER!
The @dalfaculty.bsky.social will be right back to this in just 2 1/2 short years, but our colleagues in CUPE 3912 are in it right now!
Support them!
