Yeah, so, in case Twitter is gone when I get back from choir practice, you can find me on IG as electric_landlady. Or on FB I guess. Or through my website. Or…LinkedIn? (The only other Robin Marwick who shows up in search results is dead. I’m not him.)

Oh Jesus, this tweet was less than a year ago? Time really has lost all meaning. (I stand by my original reply, btw. It’s not always that simple; if tech wants us all syncing our calendars, maybe tech should make calendars that fucking work.)
Natalie Claire@and_cities23 Sep 2022
Is it true; people in academia don’t sync their calendars? Like, when you need to arrange a meeting with a colleague it’s a back and forth email conversation until you find an available date/time. Coming from the tech world, I’m in shock. #phdvoice #AcademicTwitter @PhDVoice

This is in St. John's, but you see stuff like this all over cities, including Toronto, if you keep your eyes open. I think it's an under-remarked beautiful thing that artists are relentlessly decorating cities — generally without permission, credit or compensation.

I taught high school briefly (Commtech) and one of the things that struck me the most about that time was that school is sometimes the best and safest part of some kids' day. - We need to protect kids. Blanket policies like this don't do that.
Rachel Gilmore@atRachelGilmore28 Aug 2023
These policies will kill kids. In 2022, 45% of LGBTQ youth eriously considered committing suicide, including more than half of trans and nonbinary youth. But LGBTQ youth consistently report lower rates of attempting suicide if they have access to affirming spaces.

Remember when we were reassuring ourselves that this shit wouldn’t happen here? They can’t even fix our crumbling schools but they can go out of their way to attack trans kids. Fuck @fordnation with the force of an atom bomb.

Update: there are now 305 publications/organizations/news channels listed. I added a column for people to describe the nature of the assignment and there's still a column for any higher up at the outlet to comment on their practices. docs.google.com/spreadsheets…

So the suggested text for this tweet is “Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary” But I didn’t join X. I joined Twitter. Crucial distinction. #MyTwitterAnniversary

For people who want to know more about these small interactions, I highly recommend the @lingthusiasm episode on phatics: lingthusiasm.com/post/623851… They are pretty universal, culturally specific, and confuse just about everyone at some point.

I see we are doing "how are you" discourse again. As an ND person, may I introduce you to "I'm hanging in there." That is social script for "I am not OK, I do not want to talk about it." They will probably say "I hear you." And they do. You have shared a moment of exhaustion.

✊ Covering protests can make reporters vulnerable to harm, and many don't know their rights to stay safe. We created a legal guide with @pressfreedom to help journalists in Canada understand their rights and how to avoid arrest whilst reporting. ➡️ bit.ly/3DxKepH

Apropos of nothing, we’re sharing @pressfreedom’s guide to the legal rights of journalists in Canada. Every field journalist, and @rcmpgrcpolice officer, should read it. cpj.org/wp-content/uploads/2… #bcpoli #cdnpoli #cdnmedia
