Hi Twitter! I formerly used this space for academic purposes. These days I'm raising tiny humans, working as a residential counselor for folks with intellectual disabilities, & learning to steward 40 acres of land in Eastern Ontario. Here's a picture of Hildy the chicken. Cheers!

Today, we are celebrating the Ontario Greenbelt's 17th birthday! 🎉 17 years of protecting land that provides Ontarians with fresh air, clean drinking water, climate resilience, a reliable local food source, greenspace to explore, and world-class outdoor recreation. #17yearsyoung

While I’m waiting in a longgggg queue to pay for the food.

I know that my war tweets are being read by people all over the world. Could you please write from which country you’re?

It would incredible to see the world while I’m here, in #Kyiv, in this war time.

@wiestface It's been a good time! Your dog would probably support it. 🙃 Hope things have been going okay with you.

@cassandra_star There's lots to be inspired by around here! 😊

@JudgeLord There's a couple of solid Conversation pieces I'd used in the past for an intro course - that might be a useful place to start, if you haven't checked yet!

I asked a group of 6 year olds if they wanted to get something off their chest.
They did.

So pleased to finally share this work on climate policy framing!

Finally digging into #scottrussellsanders and bowled over by this line. Capturing that sense of nature in an urban place - something I’ve been grappling with in my new surroundings:

@PaisleyRekdal My husband had the notion that owl boxes somehow come complete with baby owls. He was deeply saddened to learn the truth, and also confused. "You just wait? And hope some owl will eventually just show up?" I feel you on the owl-void in your life. 🦉

This is a great table for anyone who discusses #climatechange. And probably for anyone talking about #soilhealth and #regenerativeagriculture practices and systems.

We have found over 4,300 planets beyond our solar system, but we still only know of one that is just right for human life — our home on Earth. 🌎 #MondayMotivation

Long shot: I recall a marvelous video on how to give a good research talk which began with the presenter mimicking chickadee calls (or she may have just screamed "Mama! Mamaaa!" then segued into her work on chickadee communication.) Help me relocate this gem? #AcademicTwitter
