perfect, no notes

Oh my goodness. Why have I never had diced apple in an omelette before? Apple, crispy ham bits, sharp cheddar, pinch of thyme, black pepper. Cinnamon raisin toast. The whole savoury / sweet / spicy / crispy / chewy thing. #BreakfastForDinner

Day-after-huge-event creakiness (dehydration, that's on me), social battery flashing PLUG IN NOW TO AVOID LOSING DATA, my brain already fixating on Monday stuff - It was a marvelous event and we're all feeling triumphant, but OOF I am glad I'll have some proper non-event weekends for a while.

So deeply focused on a high-octane campus event today that I completely forgot it's still BC Election Day! GO VOTE. (Yes, I voted in advance because I knew this would happen.)

I strongly believe humans have the right to not see ads. This shouldn't even be a right we pay more for, it should be the default. We should have the right to not experience propaganda designed to influence our psychology, decision making, and wallets 24/7.

My department is searching for two full-time continuing physics teaching faculty. Come work in beautiful BC. 🧪👩🏻‍🔬⚛️🎢🍎 @sfuscience.bsky.social

Cold and flu season has hit my office EARLY this year. Time to get suited up.

It's a lovely evening to go vote in the advance polls! No lineups, and super friendly workers who could use a bit of a lift for their last half hour. #BCElection

It really hits home, some days, that I'm surrounded by remarkable people who each bring so much to their work. And I think they think of themselves as just-getting-on-with-things. Which may be true, but they're still remarkable people getting-on-with-things and making them remarkable in the world.

What OP said! 🖤🩶🤍💜🏳️‍🌈☕️

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 8260: Whatever genre you write, read folklore. Folklore exists because at some point, people cared so much about a certain thing that they put it into a story, and passed it down the centuries in order to keep it alive. That deserves attention.

Love me some democracy. Advance polling took 10 mins, with free parking. Go vote! There's still time tonight. ✅️ 🗳

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye. Ther ys no part of thee that evir koude be wrong.

R.I.P. Margaret Hamilton (1936–2026)

Sad to hear of the passing of NASA legend Margaret Hamilton - year after year we had hoped that she would write a memoir talking about those pioneering days of space programming, and now she's gone, but her accomplishments will always be with us. www.cnn.com/2026/10/07/s...

October 4th is the National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Two-Spirit and gender-diverse people, also known as Sisters in Spirit Day. Please read my full statement here:

Three packed science outreach & recruitment events over three weekends, simultaneous to my first three weeks in an important new science outreach weekday job... I am still stunned this is all happening. Even if it's just for a while. And the support from so many is a whole dang power grid.

hey are you looking for something to do tonight? of course you are. why not come on down to the @spacecentreyvr.bsky.social and hang out with us? tonight is their 19+ cosmic nights event (sorry kids 🙇) and we'll be there with a couple of scopes to observe (weather dependent) and talk universe!

More than 38,000 residential school survivors testified to the abuse they experienced as children. Next September, Canada plans to destroy their records.

The Memorial Cloth is a 60-metre commemoration the honours the names of thousands of children that died as a result of residential schools in Canada. It is displayed each year as part of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation event on Parliament Hill.

Oooh, I can make it there! Happy to amp this event. I hope Vancouver is at its autumnal glowingest for you, Sophie. @assignedmale.bsky.social

Reposting because all of my jobs have always come from someone in my network referring me or knowing someone who needs a science communicator 🤞

A fantastic start to the SFU Centre for Forensic Research outreach program's school year. Freddie and I are very tired, and I, at least, am quite hoarse. Thanks to Wes Wong for organizing & Britannia Comm Ctr for hosting another year of the Science and Maker Jamboree!

Friend shared this video of a man unveiling the library he hid when he fled Damascus in 2011. It’s incredible

A tremendous first week in my new job. A rather uplifting Election Officer training session. (VOTE VOTE VOTE!) First outreach event of the term this weekend, AND a big celebration for my rightfully recognized amazing thesis super. Friday off tomorrow. But first, late night Chinese takeout.

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

It's always a great sign when an interview with a scientist starts like this: Me: Hi there, thanks for talking to me. I'd like to ask you some questions about [thing]. Scientist: OH MY GOODNESS I LOVE [thing]!!! I could talk about [thing] for hours!!!!!

Sixty years ago today, the starship Enterprise launched and with it, a vision of the future where humanity had moved beyond its divisions. I was there at the beginning, and I can tell you...

“The public has a distorted view of science, because children are taught in school that science is a collection of firmly established truths. In fact, science is not a collection of truths. It is a continuing exploration of mysteries.” — Freeman Dyson
