My weird stats about bathtubs can be found here https://t.co/WFHeYDwglP #follow4follow #astu260

10 years in the Canadian Education system and the Indian Residential School Dialogue and History Center still taught me so much. Proof that we can't rely on the education system to teach us about the most important things in our country #ASTU260

There is validity in knowledge that is not strictly based in fact. It might not be the easiest for those of us with a western background to access but that doesn't negate it's importance #ASTU260

@yvrshoots Turns out its Netflix's #TheOrder

[Anique @aniquegb]

@yvrshoots any idea what's filming on the UBC campus today?? Looks like it might be #TheWalkingDead

[Anique @aniquegb]

@yvrshoots Didn't ask, would love to know if someone finds out! And yeah, saw someone zombie props

[Anique @aniquegb]

@lazarus7 @yvrshoots They're outside Buchanan! Would love to know if you find out!

friendly reminder that the Amazon forest has been on fire for 20+ days now, wildlife is being killed and half of brazil is being covered in such a thick layer of dust and ashes that São Paulo got dark at 3pm yesterday bc sunlight couldn’t breach through

Considering how much we all rely on wikipedia (whether we admit it or not), its centrality in our world view is unavoidable. Probably means we should worry more about who writes the articles 🤷‍♀️ #ASTU260

The Digitial Humanities is the facilitation of humanities research and projects through digital tools. Really, it strikes me as simply the future of the humanities in the technological era #astu260

Data that has been given to the public with full consent and understanding of what that implies can be a public good. However, as we've all learned through the internet mining our data, personal data not freely given is a violation of the rights to privacy and agency #astu260

The Internet's Own Boy proves the depth of the problem that the open-access movement struggles against. If the government sees free information as a threat and a felony, then the road to freeing academia from restrictive publishing is going to be long #astu260

[Anique @aniquegb]

Creators of content deserve to be rewarded for their work but the public deserves access to that content (moderated, of course). I'm not sure that creative commons, given its reliance on copyright, is the answer to that but its closer than anything else that exists now #astu260

[Anique @aniquegb]

The west has been built on the back of stolen, indigenous knowledge, its time to change that attitude #astu260

[Anique @aniquegb]

Knowledge dissemination is about sharing and spreading information and world views. Feminism means that the world views are shared have diversified from the traditional white male view that was once so central to academia. #astu260

[Anique @aniquegb]

Open access means never feeling the disappointment that comes with finding the perfect paper to complete your research but only being able to read the abstract #Astu260

[Anique @aniquegb]

Classes that have memes as assignments are what I was looking for this summer #Astu260

When it comes to what climate goals we should be aiming for, there are a lot of "magic numbers" floating around - 2 degrees, 12 years, 350ppm, net zero emissions, and more. Here's a short thread explaining the scientific basis--or lack thereof--for each.

Some rules and recommendations for those on #schoolstrike4climate
And if you think that “following the Paris Agreement and IPCC” is too vague - then make sure everyone study them. They are the global tools we have at hand today. Let’s use them! #FridaysForFuture #ClimateStrike
