The most fucked up thing for me about the #stabbing@UWaterloo this week is the number of conversations I'm having with other #gender and #critical academics about how they can protect themselves in class, e.g., "What is something that’s not a weapon but can be wielded as such?"
A successful @UWRecandLeisure #GARLS conference complete and could not have done it without the incredible students working hard behind the scenes!! Another #proudsupervisor post with my undergrads Lily & Steph (please note I’m wearing 4” platforms AND on my tiptoes 😂).
Could not be prouder of my UNDERGRADS Lily & Steph from #Rec413 for presenting at @UWRecandLeisure GARLS conference!! The lone undergraduates amongst a room of masters and phds #proudsupervisor
So proud of masters students Mackenzie (my independent study student🥰) and Erin presenting on the little-talked-about-topic of sexual leisure within long-term care. Supervised by the great @LucCousineau !! #GARLS#UWaterloo @UWRecandLeisure
Athlete groups call on the Canadian Minister of Sport @PascaleStOnge_ to support the calls for a national judicial inquiry. 1/2

“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.” Powerful words from Gramsci to start @punchingprof’s keynote at the @UWRecandLeisure GARLS Symposium. #UWaterloo
When I asked Gymnastics Canada about covering therapy costs for those of us going through the Brubaker Hearing, I was told no
But GymCan did pay $1000s of dollars for the Brubakers to get the 10 day hearing transcribed so they could try & build an appeal case against us survivors
@Krich052 Last week I got sent to secondary inspection and got pretttttttty intimately patted down for a rubber hair elastic in my pocket (zero metal on it). Good thing they found it #smh
So disappointed in @volleyballworld. Limiting the promotion and exposure that @VballSource gives to Canadian and international athletes, teams, and media just shows how out of touch you are. A disgusting move by a huge organization silencing the voices of independent creators.
Hey @volleyballworld - how are we supposed to #GrowTheGame when you DMCA channels for posting volleyball content? Do you not want people seeing your events?
Cindy Blackstock: academia needs to hire “a lot more people who are willing to get into trouble.... Academia and activism should co-exist." 👍 https://t.co/1VNJTQISSe
Discourage adolescents from linking their identity to what they do e.g. academic scholar or athlete
If they cannot continue w/in that identity it can be difficult for them to transition into young adulthood.
What they ‘do’ is not who they ‘are’.
Help them identify who they are
When you think about it, it’s crazy that in a city as expensive as Toronto there’s a derelict mall above two subway stations on the most expensive retail stretch in the country just…sitting there.
The HENCE - ridiculous!! A pretty big leap if you ask me. Promoting values does not equal participation, let alone “fostering healthy and active lives.” #unimpressed
To mark World Health Day 2023, the International Olympic Committee is highlighting the role that sport and the Olympic Games can play in fostering healthy and active lives. #WorldHealthDay

🥹Last day teaching the graduating capstone #RSB class. I will miss this small, but mighty space where we forged a beautiful community together tackling the big issues in the sport & rec sector. Will go down as one of my most favourite and meaningful teaching experiences.
