Today, @AlgonquinColleg, we had the pleasure to reconnect with colleagues and partners to enjoy a special meal provided by AC culinary students at today’s @GetCracking lunch reception. Thank you to our talented students and to our partners, the Egg Farmers of Ontario.

A reminder to the protestors in #Ottawa. My business lost five million dollars in gross revenue. All 23 of my full time staff had to be laid off and lost their jobs. I sold my business at a loss as I was looking at bankruptcy. You were asked to wear a mask to protect others.

If students thoroughly read my online syllabus, they'll find an easter egg to send a picture of an otter for extra credit. I forget that I've done this until I start receiving emails titled "otter lol."

In his disgraceful case that #DrBiden should go by Jill, the author was unclear on some key points. I've rewritten them to highlight what he really meant. linkedin.com/pulse/yes-women…

Showing red vs. blue maps leads people to see America as more divided—and judge people more by their state's stereotypes. Data: purple maps of state proportions are more accurate, and reduce perceived polarization and stereotypes. spssi.onlinelibrary.wiley.co… purplestatesofamerica.org

If at first you don’t succeed, you're in luck. Effortless excellence is a lousy teacher and a fickle friend. The achievements we savor most start with a struggle and end with hard-earned mastery. Success is sweeter—and more repeatable—if it's the product of deliberate practice.

The orange shirt is a tribute to the lives affected and lost through the residential school system, which saw more than 150,000 Indigenous children and youth sent away from their parents beginning in the 19th century in Canada. #OrangeShirtDay #EveryChildMatters

This is Ripley. It’s her first day of zoom classes. Not exactly what she was expecting. Way fewer zoomies than the name implies. 13/10

Wanted: time machine, new or used. Destination: 2021. Will pay cash. Tesseract or Time-Turner preferred, but will consider hot tub, phone booth, briefcase, Pym Particles, wormhole, rocket sled, quantum accelerator, or DeLorean (with flux capacitor preinstalled).
