@appliedcomms Congratulations, Melissa! So well deserved.

[Lindsay Tripp @lltripp]

@michellecyca Yes! I'm always in awe of the influencer moms who achieve the sad beige childhood aesthetic. Like, HOW? My life would come to a standstill if I didn't have rainbows, unicorns, and tie dye on offer.

@appliedcomms @Arley_McNeney Hi Melissa, I can't DM you but I would love to attend Arley's celebration of life virtually. She and I crossed paths through the open education community, and I would love to share in honoring her memory tomorrow. My email address is ltripp [at] langara [dot] ca 🙏

[Lindsay Tripp @lltripp]

@michellecyca @Arley_McNeney An immense loss for us all, but to no one more than her daughter 😔❤️‍🩹

[Lindsay Tripp @lltripp]

@AndreaNiosi Beautiful, heartfelt words ❤️‍🩹I'm so sorry for your loss, Andrea. Holding you in my thoughts x

[Lindsay Tripp @lltripp]

They would put on makeup and fancy clothes, and promenade until they received a sufficient number of compliments. This is exactly how I want to remember her. Have a beautiful walk, dear Arley.

[Lindsay Tripp @lltripp]

I don't spend much time here now, but I felt called to log in today and this is when I learned of @Arley_McNeney's sudden passing. I've since read beautiful tributes to Arley from my friends in open education, libraries, professional writing, disability advocacy, and beyond [1/n]

[Lindsay Tripp @lltripp]

I marvelled at the close relationship she had with her daughter. She was the fun mom I wished I could be! In one IG post, she described what her daughter called their "beautiful walks" [4/n]

@thatpsychprof @Arley_McNeney Oh Rajiv, there are no words 😔 I didnt have the privilege of knowing Arley personally, but her tweets were a bright spot in my feed. She taught us so much. She leaves behind an incredible legacy on so many fronts: educator, athlete, writer, mother, advocate in the purest form

[Lindsay Tripp @lltripp]

@sammymarie Also, their humour, banter, and quick wit was a breath of fresh air.

[Lindsay Tripp @lltripp]

@michellecyca And the damn things just keep on multiplying 👀 I’ve never bought one for her and somehow we have 13 and counting 🤔

[Lindsay Tripp @lltripp]

@michellecyca Same stuffie scene over here (we call them the Shiny Eye Guys ✨) 🤣

[Lindsay Tripp @lltripp]

After 2+ weeks at home with a 1-year-old and 5-year-old, my first day back at work felt like a vacation. Quiet! Hot coffee! Personal space!

It's almost Halloween so I thought I'd share a news story that still haunts me after 2+ years of weeding the print collection 👻☠️ https://t.co/RUQEevqnLg

[Lindsay Tripp @lltripp]

"The books are essentially in deep storage, inaccessible to customers and unsearchable by the bookstore's three-person staff since most of them aren't catalogued."

[Lindsay Tripp @lltripp]

"After five years of collecting unwanted books from local thrift stores that would otherwise be tossed in the local dump, Gaudet has amassed nearly 200,000 titles."
