I have no words. Sure the safety and wellbeing of the university's LGBT population should be more important than giving a platform to such a hateful group?

Pleased to see this has been cancelled, but not sure how it ever seemed like a good idea to platform a hate group that actively engages in harassment and intimidation and incites violence.

CALL FOR PAPERS We are currently accepting submissions for Volume 3, with a deadline of 1 September. Spread far and wide!

The cats aren't terribly happy with us, but Dr. William Pidzamecky and I have relocated to Ottawa! Looking forward to this new chapter in our life. Violet approves of the sink

As the racist anti-vax and anti-mask convoy roll into my city, I find myself so angry and exhausted. Friends, please send pet pics or something else that made you smile this week?

On the radio just now, I said that no Conservative MPs would be stupid enough to go onto Parliament Hill and risk getting photographed next to a "vaccine = genocide" or "Trudeau for treason!" sign. I was wrong. x.com/Chris_Bittle/s…

This is not a "peaceful protest". Hate symbols are violent, defecating on the stoops of homes displaying pride flags is violent, screaming in the faces of minimum wage workers trying to enforce rules they have no say over is violent. Shame on all of those calling this "peaceful"

#medievaltwitter, scholars, antiracist activists, er'body, if you are confused abt the term "Anglo-Saxon" & you need more evidence that it's being misused to mean "white", listen to one of the organizers of the #FluTrucksKlan event in Canada.

Picking up litter and cleaning off a statue does not cancel the white supremacy

Statement from Cornerstone Emergency Women's Shelter: "women and staff are scared to go outside of the shelter" the protests are "retraumatizing women in the city" #ottnews

To sum it up: Thousands more Convoy protestors expected this weekend. Convoy being funded by American$ Counter protestors are also going to show Ottawa Police can't handle this occupation on own Mayor says need provincial and federal help Military may need to be called in

What is even happening in my city right now

Beyond disrespectful to see one of these “protestors” holding an “every child matters” flag while pushing children to the front lines.

I'm struggling to focus on anything else while our friends and family are under attack in Kyiv and Chernihiv. We have friends and familial ties to Ukraine, and to see a certain premier use the war to push his oil agenda? Once again, those in power see ordinary lives as expendable

You can (and should), unapologetically advocate for the Ukrainian people’s safety and peace AND you can call out the hypocrisy and racism on full display with the comparisons to other conflicts. They are not mutually exclusive. Let your sense of humanity be on full display.

Once again, a group of far right, anti-science and incredibly hateful people are descending on my city and setting up camp just a few blocks away. I wonder how long they'll be given free reign of the city this time around? Another month?

NEW PUBLICATION Happy publication day to Christian Cooijmans! You can now find the first English translation of Annales Fontanellenses on Apardjón’s website.
