Anyways.... Albertans, if you want to fill in an extremely leading survey that the government wants to use to ban books that hurt their feelings, that would be great. It has freeform boxes, which are always funnnnnn! 😈 #abed #abhealth #abpoli #ableg #BookBanning your.alberta.ca/school-libra...

Let's be clear: three of the four books flagged by the Alberta government today as containing "inappropriate content" feature queer and trans people. This is moral panic. This is the same blueprint of book bans in the US. And this is happening in Canada. calgaryherald.com/news/local-n...

My story (with video!) on the announcement about Alberta's new plan to restrict school library books announced today, and how three of the four books they singled out as "inappropriate" were focused on LGBTQ2S+ themes. xtramagazine.com/video/albert...

if you use AI secretly in your writing, which a lot of people seem to be doing? why are you a writer? The only two pleasures in writing are writing and having written, neither of which you will have done, so what pleasure will you have? The pleasure of being self-published and read by no one?

If I were a parent I'd want the people who drive my child's school bus or help them in class to have a living wage so they aren't stressed or forced to take a 2nd job that exhausts them just to pay for Vancouver's sky-high rents. But I guess having slightly lower property taxes is good for kids too.

I hate these stickers because Elon isn't "crazy." he's racist. corrupt. power-hungry. misogynist. transphobic. selfish. "crazy" isn't just vague and ableist. it lets him off the hook.

Hi! For CBC News, I'm looking to speak with trans Americans on their feelings about life under Trump — particularly given yesterday's executive orders. Scared? Defiant? Angry? Resigned? I want to hear from you. My DMs are open. Some of my prev work ↓

“In order to shoot off one email per week for a year, ChatGPT would use up 27 liters of water, or about one-and-a-half jugs… that means if one in 10 U.S. residents—16 million people—asked ChatGPT to write an email a week, it’d cost more than 435 million liters of water.”

I’m so exhausted by decision-makers in education refusing to invest in long-term solutions. If you don’t have the resources to do it right, you don’t have the resources to do it at all.

As public funding has declined, post-secondaries have increasingly relied on tuition, especially from international students. Following the international student cap, schools—like Langara—are facing stark choices. @kehyslop.bsky.social for @thetyee.ca: thetyee.ca/News/2024/12...
