I seem to have acquired a few new followers, so just to clarify – I care about cats, feelings, and making the culture at the intersection of academia and tech better for everyone (in that order). I care very little about details of programming languages.

I was evacuated from #Jasper while camping with my husband and two young kids this week. This is my #jasperwildfire story. We arrived at Wabasso campground Sunday afternoon. It was 34 degrees, and the man at the check in booth was sweating profusely in the heat. He (1/22)

An expansive musing thread on mask non-use, which I am now calling "mask akinesia".
Every class I teach, I walk in with my mask and my Aranet4 CO2 detector, to measure air quality. I'm lucky: the rooms I teach in are always below 800ppm and often below 700ppm.

Mask akinesia is about being normal. Normal.
Normal is defined as what the herd does. It's not about what is right or good or safe or natural or just. It's ONLY about what everybody does.
Masking was never normal, even though everyone did do it for some time.

1. Toronto's founding cat arrived 230 years ago this summer, sailing into our bay on a warship.
We don't know much about him, but here's a little thread about what we do…

By the way, also, not that Chow is proposing this, but you raise the tax on my fully detached three story home in downtown Toronto even as much 10% and it goes up by about $90 a month. I’d still be paying less than my parents pay in Guelph. I’d deal.

I’m seeing the Ana Bailão attack ad on
Chow around so wanted to add a bit of context. It uses a clip of Chow saying she’s “ready to tax.” Here is what she says before and after that about her tax plan:
