I’ve done 75 of today’s 100 and feeling pretty good about getting the rest in a little later. By the end of today I’ll have banked 213 push-ups with only 1787 left to go before the end of the month. Feeling good so far but there’s still plenty time for me to crash hard and fail spectacularly.

How bad do things have to get before congress and senate grow a spine and a conscience and bring this thug rule to an end? This must surely be far enough right? No? What will be the line? Martial law? Suspension of elections? Someday I hope to see everyone involved held accountable.

A good place to begin to understand the current level of government overreach in higher education in Nova Scotia right now. cocogov.org/blog/post-00...

Just shaking my head every day in utter disbelief at just how batshit crazy it all is. Like, how is this reality right now? Madness.

It was absolutely appalling how universities adopted the idea of accessibility because they were trying to sell online learning, and then removed accessible options as soon as they could. Soul crushing.
