Today I am playing "The Beast" at a fundraiser for a disability rights organization I volunteer for. www.rcil.com

The speed with which failed/disgraced senior academic administrators obtain other senior academic appointments (often falling upwards) is mind boggling to me. No sleep for the inept, heartless, and soulless, apparently.

I ran for the first time since my last marathon. Wow...I'm in rough shape.

Away for the weekend. My stepdaughter and I.

I've always found "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" to be excellent. Even in some of the down seasons, it was great. Thus far, season 18 is incredible!

To answer the titular question from a Canadian's perspective, no one cares. He isn't "needling" Canadians as the article suggests. This is childish nonsense and viewed as such. Is there truly nothing more important to focus on? www.cnn.com/2026/08/27/p...

What a totally reasonable, completely hinged, dude. 🫣 www.cnbc.com/2026/08/27/t...

"Dolly confounds and yet fulfills Aristotle’s ideal in more ways than one." www.plough.com/articles/dol...

I teach my first class of the semester tonight at Utica, and start teaching in Prison again next Monday.

Family is coming over for dinner and a swim. It's been a nice day.

Very proud of the fact that I disassembled and repaired my clothes dryer on Tuesday. Only now to realize something is wrong with the washer.

I'm full "Uncle Bill" mode this weekend. It's exhausting but awesome!

Thinking about a paper on climate change, disability justice, and the social basis of self-respect.

Check out the Canadian Journal of Disability Studies online, for which I am the Reviews Editor.

I've published a piece on MAiD in Canada that is part of a special issue. I believe most of the articles will be available as preprints here: eol.law.dal.ca?page_id=2887

I'm going to play "The Beast" from Beauty and the Beast at a kid's fundraiser brunch this fall.

My mother is coming to visit today. 😁

In 2012 I purchased a 2010 refurbished MacBook Air. I still use it although it is equal parts duct tape and aluminum. It works more reliably than a Lenovo Chromebook I bought.

When my school was cutting my major, I posted something on X about my anxiety and disappointment. A trustee recommended I read some stoicism because he found that it helped him (with no sense of irony that the discipline he was recommending I read was just eliminated by the board he sat on).

Starting to think about how to justify an emancipatory approach in clinical care for a special issue due at the end of the year.

I started making some golf accessories in my (little) spare time. I get such a kick out of getting sales on Etsy. It's a whole lot of fun.

Did anyone check a bathroom at Mar-a-Lago? 😐🫣 www.cnn.com/2026/06/19/b...

Cool talk about supported decision making in the Pitt.

College-in-prison program graduation day! I can't imagine this not being wildly different from what I'm used to.

My best bud and I.
