@ASPertierra At least in my discipline of history, this has always been the norm. I've taught classes this way, it's great. Except for maybe 2020 when classes moved online. Sadly I think the push for more online courses will make managing this issue worse not better.

[Michael F @MrFeagan]

@kristenjeanveau Oh thank you, ya the recent McCaffreys I've done have all been years into my PhD dissertation. It's a very different level of work compared to my cognate which was done in one year. So no need to compare or worry about it.

[Michael F @MrFeagan]

@kristenjeanveau You can 100% fix it in post. My MA cognate was super rough cuse I rushed wrote it over a summer and then spent like 1-2 months trying to rebuild it better. Also, don't be surprised if it ends up somehow longer the second time lol.

@throwawall @Jackstilgoe I'll just leave this here for you or anyone interested: https://t.co/lNqO2lEZdd
It's very much about that. Enjoy!

@kristenjeanveau I can confirm that for PSAC 610 solidarity events in the History department we would just sometimes do screenings of this episode and some food & drinks.

https://t.co/86kEluzPwn Excellent video on the importance of historians and studying history and the dangers of repeating historical myths.

Got another code for 🟦 sky. Let me know if you'd want one.

@alanmaceachern Anticosti Island! My favorite island to ever be sold to a French chocolate maker, Henri Menier. He also introduced deer to the island for personal hunting which likely wiped out the indigenous bear population.

@KReilly16 I gave it away already but I'll send you my next one!

Interesting article reckoning with the phenomenon of marginalized people playing historical bad guys in games.

@JessLinzel It very much does read like an article from the Beaverton. However, I'm a little skeptical of it being a joke because he has written on this topic three times now over the last ten years now.

What an awful opinion to have of the region. I've often joked that this would be the fate of Niagara one day but I don't think we should be accelerating it or just rolling over and giving into it with no consideration of local representation.

This is satire, right?

[Michael F @MrFeagan]

@CJoobear I'll take one if you're offering!

[Michael F @MrFeagan]

@mattcolville I do think there is a lesson here for people that we shouldn't be too rigid when imagining the past or future. These alternate visions show that spaces were not immutable but deeply political. There's a story why these maps failed to get support and why London is like it is.

[Michael F @MrFeagan]

@kristenjeanveau Speaking as someone who has only played VII, X, XII, XIII, XIV, and XV I gotta say that XIII is still the worst. I really enjoyed the first half of XV but I went into it expecting a fun road trip rpg simulator, which it is for the first half. The last half is not and I dropped it

[Michael F @MrFeagan]

Very much looking forward to teaching my new course in the Fall!

@CJoobear Is this in Adobe Acrobat Reader? I can still highlight, add notes, and write on .pdfs with it on Win 10. Rotation is hidden though under the View option, it's listed as Rotate View as opposed to just rotate.
