@McAllisterBruce It wasn't JUST that you advocated for physical violence against a young Albertan, it was ALSO that you cut his mic--effectively preventing him from exercising his democratic right to free speech. What are these panels for if not dialogue?

@MargaretAtwood @globeandmail Thank you for sharing your voice, Margaret, and for shifting the needle on this debate. 🙏

@russellcrowe A lot of people are saying you are in the rockies, but -- no joke -- I'm pretty certain that's the view of Everest from Kathmandu.

"Could we learn to move through time as an octopus moves through space?" Fascinating piece on time, language, and octopuses - but no mention of the (wonderful) film Arrival? In @aeonmag https://t.co/swhBkkrQBE?

What can architecture say about our inner worlds? For Carl Jung, architecture was a tool to represent the psyche @posts_modern https://t.co/HrR71dmYpV

@LukaszukAB @ABDanielleSmith It would also mean that children, even with parental consent and under DR supervision, would not be allowed to receive life-saving medical treatments like chemo to treat cancer if it had any risk of affecting their future "reproductive potential", which is clearly absurd.

[Aeon Magazine @aeonmag]

We describe trusted friends as ‘close’ and others as ‘distant’. There is even something architectural about the way we speak of ‘setting boundaries’. Why do we use spatial and architectural metaphors to describe so many of our human relationships? @posts_modern ...

Some friends are ‘close’. Others are ‘distant’. But our spatial descriptions of social life are more than just metaphors @posts_modern https://t.co/Cg4aCHKvDR

@karlhjort_ It's important to catch ourselves reflexively pathologizing gay men's psyches. If a gay man has the same steady gym routine that many straight men do, but we interpret only the gay man's motivations to be rooted in body dysmorphia/sex, I struggle to see how that's fair.
