Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪

I am here this week giving lectures and learning about an educational system in a country with a social safety net.

For starters, undergraduate education is free and doctoral students are treated as employees, including paid medical and parental leave.

Shoe free classrooms are a whole rabbit hole! The research shows that bullying is reduced, mobility increases and bacterial transfers drops dramatically.

I went shoe free for a couple of years at an Indigenous board but Now that I'm back in Ontario it's too strict and I can't have it my way 😬

100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride.

Mainstream media: nothing

Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes.

Mainstream media: nothing.

This is what extreme media bias looks like.

Amazon is determined to use AI for everything – even when it slows down work Corporate employees said Amazon’s race to roll out AI is leading to surveillance, slop and ‘more work for everyone’.

Amazing. Amazon is forcing employees to use its AI tools to speed up work and it’s slowing them down www.theguardian.com/technology/n...

Father David Bauer stands facing the camera against a plain backdrop, smiling while holding a large hockey trophy mounted on a wide wooden base. He wears a dark clerical suit with a white Roman collar. The trophy has two ornate handles and a central cup, with small hockey player figurines positioned on the base near the front. Numerous engraved plaques are attached around the wooden base beneath the cup.

Father David Bauer loved the game of hockey.
A gifted player, he turned down playing pro hockey to become a priest.
But hockey never left him.
He mentored many players and created Canada's men's national hockey team program.
This is his story.

I don’t care about the price of oil, I care that Iranians are being poisoned with toxic fumes. What the fuck is wrong with us?

In the last few weeks, my 11 years of piano lessons paid off in a couple of escape rooms where I had to listen to a song and play back the notes 😁

No stress, it's as if I was in a Royal of Conservatory of Music exam 😆

My thanks to @rahaeli.bsky.social for info related to this. Last physical checkup I had my measles titer checked and the results indicated that my childhood vaccine immunity had lapsed. So I got an MMR vaccine just a week ago!

Please check on the trans people in your life today.

The anti trans rhetoric is everywhere.

Those on the right are purposefully stoking fear and division in an attempt to destroy an entire marginalized group.

We can’t let them get away with it.

Trans rights are human rights.

Mathematics is not a subject in which we memorize many answers; it is a subject in which we learn to think in a certain way. It is important that, as you work through this book, you think for yourself. #iTeachMath

Spent the afternoon watching the Olympics figure skating events, making enchiladas and then wrapped up with some runs on our local ski hill in #Kitchener #Ontario. These are the things that bring us joy ✨
