Canadian election results are traditionally revealed at midnight when a Returning Officer in a powdered wig rolls up the rim of a coffee cup. #elxn44

As districts plan to repurpose ELL, resource, and lib staff to avoid functional shutdowns, let's try to remember that LL's and students w/ disabilities have already experienced some of the highest impacts from the pandemic. Is pulling their support the only option? #bced

Every time my rent gets raised I commit myself to another year of dumping coffee grounds down the sink

Yeah, the pandemic makes my job really tough. Yeah, there are a ton of staff and students away. But today was a great day, and teaching remains the best job I've ever had. #bced

Out of the blue, #youtube algorithms accurately nailed my sense of humour with this absolute gem. I hadn't even been talking about horses, either. Maybe dogs, but not both. youtube.com/watch?v=KCzwyF…

Apparently, it's easier to drive across a continent than it is to understand the nuances of "freedom."

Youtube is slowly zeroing in on my exact taste. 🐕🦸youtube.com/watch?v=jflXUg…

I had wrongfully assumed that #graphichistory was a contemporary trend in history writing. Bus Griffiths’ history of logging in BC, found at #macleodsbooks, is from 1978. What other old graphic histories have I overlooked? #bchist

My sense of irony has become overworked. I am no longer capable of assessing political statements.

Remember when everyone said the internet was mostly just cats?

The incredible mimicry of the European starling.
