Historian, wondering how and why, trying to smile now & then

@JeffSharlet @DexterFergie @dartmouth @AnneliseOrleck1 This is appalling and unacceptable—Dartmouth should renounce this excessive force by police and support vigorous speech and protest

@anticartelhist @natasha_wheatl @fred_marty Congratulations, Liane! Important work…

The only reason to get excited about a fascist coup against fascists is that it can hopefully weaken Russia's attacks on Ukraine by diverting combat units and not hindering Ukraine's offensive.

This term, I taught a course @UBC_History entitled “The Abbasids: History, Heritage, and Memory.” Students chose between a (creatively analyzed!) academic paper and a creative research project for the final assessment. Here are a few examples (shared with permission)!

“A proposition to marketize UBC land is a radical inversion of sustainability goals.

“In contrast, a work-study-residence proximity is climate friendly and healthier.“

À la The New Yorker, The Ubyssey is launching its own caption contest, inspired by the goings-on at UBC! Here's a cartoon, created by Jasper Dobbin, that needs a caption. The best three submissions will appear in our February 14 issue. Happy captioning!

Viewed historically, what is fascinating about this isn't the *novelty* of so-called snow-drought. This has bedeviled resort operators, event planners, and communities since the very birth of the sport.

@Hanwarrior So sorry to hear this, Bruce—a scholarship is a wonderful way to honour her life

[Eagle Glassheim @beagleg]

@Ubyssey UBC could invest those funds to build student housing (or at least one dormitory). Ethically sound, and good returns, too.

@charlesmenzies @polygonhomes And what perceive; well pleased to recognize
In nature and the language of the sense,
The anchor of my purest thoughts, the nurse,
The guide, the guardian of my heart, and soul
Of all my moral being. —Wordsworth

[Eagle Glassheim @beagleg]

@charlesmenzies @polygonhomes Therefore am I still
A lover of the meadows and the woods,
And mountains; and of all that we behold
From this green earth; of all the mighty world
Of eye and ear, both what they half-create,…

@charlesmenzies Congratulations, Charles! A lot of important business coming in the new year…
