‘Daffodowndilly’
She wore her yellow sun-bonnet,
She wore her greenest gown;
She turned to the south wind
And curtsied up and down.
She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbour
“Winter is dead.”

I started @Camosun creating a new vision for libraries; I finished leading the re-imagination of Wilna Thomas. Creating beautiful student spaces for learning, making & dreaming is work I’m most proud of. Thank you for inviting today, it was an honor to be part of this project.

[Camosun College @Camosun]

Today we celebrated the opening of the reimagined Wilna Thomas building on Lansdowne campus. The newly renovated building has spaces for study, collaboration, events and Indigenous learning.

This space has already become a gathering place for the community—now it’s official!

Dervla Murphy died earlier this year. Full Tilt had a huge impact on me when I read during my year wandering around Europe when I was 21. Full Tilt: Dervla Murphy's Fierce and Poetic Account of Traversing the World on Two Wheels in the 1960s https://t.co/T6SPx4hb8g

via @NYTimes. I read Forever and Mary McCarthy’s The Group in the summer of 1975. To this day two of the most powerful books I have read. https://t.co/MrUIZshHHJ

"The Moral Majority" is a stupendous marketing gimmick: it allowed a small minority of vicious, paranoid, hateful creeps to brand themselves as a "silent majority" who were all around us, afraid to speak their minds. 1/

Mark your calendars! It’s National No.2 Pencil Day and we definitely see the point of commemorating the library’s love of our golf pencils! (HB No.2s) We hope this draws you in… ✏✨

Read Woman, Watching . A book that changed me. This review reflects my thoughts: "an entrancing blend of biography, memoir, history, research, and homage that is unlike anything I’ve ever read. It’s radical, it’s ravishing.” Kyo Maclear https://t.co/JsQO2VBWYN

I recently read Metaphysical Animals : How Four Women Brought Philosophy Back to Life (Clare Mac Cumhaill & Rachael Wiseman). Now have Mary Midgley and Iris Murdoch in my planned reading. Retirement is awesome.

“The self, the place where we live, is a place of illusion. Goodness is connected with the attempt to see the unself.”

Remembering Iris Murdoch—one of the greatest minds (and spirits) who ever lived, born OTD in 1919—with some of her most luminous wisdom: https://t.co/ZhjCo01E9w

My heart goes out to Uvalde, TX. Thank you @EPML_uvaldeTX for keeping the library open. I know first hand the importance of keeping these safe places open. It's a refuge and an escape for a community who have experienced an unspeakable grief. https://t.co/bCcQg0zwAY
