For anyone interested in the history and fate of the ocean and the world’s whales, I couldn’t recommend a book more than this one by ⁦Ryan Tucker Jones⁩

My favourite kind of public history. On the Ravenna Park bridge in Seattle

⁦@UVicHumanities⁩ researcher Tim Cunningham presents animated map of gray whale history in North Pacific at ⁦Oceans Past Initiative⁩ conference at University of Washington. Map built with⁩ Humanities Computing and Media Centre at ⁦⁦UniversityOfVictoria⁩

⁦@IainMcKechnie⁩ of ⁦@UVicAnthro⁩ presenting breathtaking archeological and ecological work on historical Indigenous fishing and ocean temperatures at ⁦Oceans Past Initiative⁩. Amazing stuff

⁦⁦@LMcClenachan⁩ of ⁦@UVicHumanities⁩ and ⁦UVic Social Sciences⁩ delivering her keynote at ⁦Oceans Past Initiative⁩

My deepest respect and admiration for the Saanich Police and Victoria Police officers who literally ran into a hail of bullets today to protect people, confronting heavily armed bank robbers. You put your bodies on the line and saved others. Your wounded are in our thoughts.

Wonderful to see this available on Amazon. It is a superb film, and I am thrilled to be in it

Newly released, "Charged," by James Morton Turner Jay Turner unpacks the history of batteries to explore why solving "the battery problem" is critical to a clean energy transition ow.ly/t1YS50IvAY0 #ReadUP

For those longing for a clean energy future coupled with social justice, I enthusiastically recommend Charged by ⁦⁦Jay Turner⁩. Absolutely superb and thought provoking

I always enjoy chatting with ⁦Gregor Craigie⁩, this time about ⁦Royal BC Museum⁩, ⁦@ElliceHouse⁩, ⁦and other public history sites. cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

Here's a conversation about killer whale captivity with Jason Colby, who wrote the book on it. The emotional last 10 minutes are about a man who captured her nearly 50 years ago visiting her tank at the Miami Seaquarium. #tokitae #lolita #orcas youtube.com/watch?v=Qz28e4…

😂😂I love this feed so much.

😂😂🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Every admin meeting ever

I’ll just reply to this one again—no need to post a new version of your Sept message: Sean McVay continues his utter domination of Pete Carroll. What an embarrassment, particularly the end of what should have been a game-winning drive. Unreal

Hooray!!! Congratulations!
