Congratulations to @WRHAVL Librarians Nicole, Tyler, and Carla for this timely and practice-changing research they presented at #chlaabsc24

Today marks the end of an era.

After 13 years, today was the last day we had a kid in daycare!

To all those just starting this journey… it does get easier.

[Orvie Dingwall @odingwall]

I believe that today is the first time since 2020 that I left my computer at work overnight.
On purpose.

Solidarity with @AMPE_AMPE from the @CAUT_ACPPU flying pickets.

[President @UMFAPres]

Presidential transition from Orvie to Erik will be complete as of midnight tonight.

Thank you for this tremendous privilege over the last 2.75 years.

Go forth, be brave, ask not what your union can do for you, ask what you can do for your union.

The @chlaabsc #CanMedLibs activity challenge ends today.
So far I’ve logged 735 this month - mostly on my faithful commuter.
Go team Red River Royalty!

[Orvie Dingwall @odingwall]

As part of the @chlaabsc #CanMedLibs activity challenge I committed to completing 20km/day for my team Red River Royalty.

Last week I increased the goal to 700km, which I just achieved!

Go Red River Royalty!

@TheBardolator @UMFA_FAUM I’d probably also argue for your promotion
How dare you brainwash the world into wanting to dive deep into when/when not/why/why not use apostrophes, and have extensive conversation and debate about it.
Sounds like quality education to me ❤️

[Orvie Dingwall @odingwall]

@TheBardolator @UMFA_FAUM We absolutely do - even if the first step of your grievance meeting is 24hrs of a nonstop listening parting to properly indoctrinate you 😂

I got you @TheBardolator !

Maybe I’ll start a new series… #TodayWhatIPackedInMyMiniVan
- one child and her gear
- one adult bike commuter and her gear
- two lunch kits
- one adult sized bicycle
- one barbecue in a box

Being @UMFAPres is always full of surprise duties. #unionlife

Extensive research has commenced for the #chlaabsc24 food guide, when #candmedlibs and #medlibs come to #Winnipeg!

Behold the ice-cream-cotton-candy burrito, supplemented with Dog Drool, from Teeyah’s, “Winnipeg’s #1 candy spot!”

@mathgirl85 Turkeys?
Unless there are pictures… I don’t think this happened…
(But I KNOW it will be in your next exam!!!)

@alfrules @beautifulyangry @HStefansonMB @RETSDschools @ejhms_RETSD And all of those issues would start to be addressed if the taxes collected to pay for those services were actually used for those services.

[Orvie Dingwall @odingwall]

I received my $1,400 education tax “rebate”.
My $1,400 can’t buy central air for my son’s middle school, but all those rebate cheques could have - which should have been @HStefansonMB priority, not attempts to buy votes.
