Eby wants to be seen as a problem solver. If he really wants to earn that title on this file, he should not be pausing DRIPA, but rather implementing it. Set a schedule, get it done.
If you're just offering BC Conservative Lite on the issue, people are going to vote for the real thing.
DRIPA and land claims are not the same thing. Both are separately important. Neither is the end of the world for the land and mineral rights system in the province, though it is likely true some things need to be handled differently going forward. If nothing changed, it would simply be performative.
Red Fabric with hearts and gold glitter
Adding the dumbest tongue fabric I could find in the cabbage patch
Kamloops has the most aggressively anti-pedestrian drivers of any place I’ve lived. downtown we regularly have people just drive at us as we’re walking across fairly quiet intersections with crosswalks where they have a stop sign. It’s wild.
Chisel this badly on my grave
I have no idea what this thing is that was attached. It seems to happen when I use voice to text in Bluesky for some reason.
Not at all, but I’m way too committed to do anything like that, but you can definitely make your own!

All done except the tongue. It’s dumber than I couldn’t hoped and I love it. Next I’m free embroidering details and then turning it into a blanket.
A beautifully plush quail. The text below: The California quail, our state bird, is an exquisitely round creature. Abundant throughout the western half the state, they prefer the ground, scurrying about in large groups that seldom take flight. Stylish black tufts adorn their foreheads, and the feathers across their bellies are arrayed in the colors of a California sunset. A couple weeks ago the photographer Christian Howard captured a great close-up of a quail looking fabulous in Point Reyes National Seashore.
Ok same???

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE GOOD GOOSE (In progress but aren’t we all)
I'm running a DHSI workshop on this centering agentic approaches @lucidbard.bsky.social that is outlined here: anastasiasalter.net/DHSI_DH_AI_2...
I am going to teach in a couple of weeks an intensive course. Gonna teach plain text, files/folders, terminal, markdown, git/github, servers, basic algorithms and then at the end I'll open Claude and teach them how to use it as part of a workflow.
In intro course in our DHMA, students write their final exam together with an AI chatbot. They then deconstruct where/how the LLM got things right or wrong, reflect on it using readings from lit list. In semester 2 of yr 1, focus on it WRT digital text/image analysis & critical information literacy.
If you’re teaching DH right now, how are you thinking about your students’ relationship to generative AI? Are you ignoring it? Banning it? Discussing a policy with them first? Encouraging vibe coding?
Interested to see how educators across the continuum of opinions are managing it.
That concrete box off the freeway wasn’t designed for storage so much as capture — of markets, workers, and, now, people detained by immigration agents, as the federal government turns warehouses into million-square-foot concentration camps.
It is a disappearing machine. We need to see it clearly.
It is so frustrating to watch people screaming ABUNDANCE while trampling the future sprouts and seeds under their feet.
And my sense is that at least a little bit of this is a fuck you to liberals. And I get that. But it’s such a huge loss, especially for rural and smaller teaching colleges where the students in those programs were from small towns and it’s those stories that are going to be lost first.
But it seems so crazily shortsighted to eliminate all the pathways to creating new content and telling new stories using the arts and humanities at the same moment you claim AI is gonna automate huge parts of middle-class white collar work.
there is a seemingly incoherent belief that AI is every bit as real as the most rabid hype (& I do actually think it’s real and important) & that ALSO somehow we will just shift to educating people to use AI & they will get good job doing the same kind of things in communications, programming, etc?
I see my local school district is eliminating another elementary art space & my university just had their last ever BFA graduation & I have to ask what exactly is the end game of “AI is going to automate most formulaic white collar work” + “we can’t afford to teach people to create/make new things”
Have a bit of inside glimpse at SAIT, so not sure if it’s universal experience.
But given how much the admin has been pushing AI, I am partly laying the blame on them for their leadership position and the environment it created.
I'll keep yelling about it- expertise doesn't scale down! Brains are discrete units! It is much harder, and more expensive, for small institutions to run an OER program on their own. And small institutions have *so much* to contribute to Open pedagogy.
I'm still kind of reeling from the news that Campus Manitoba is closing down. More than *ever*, in a province with one big institution and a bunch of small ones, we need centralized supports for Higher Ed.

There are good ways and reasons for doing this, and I think it’s really a disciplinary and individual faculty member responsibility to figure out what those are and when (or if) it’s okay, but I’m talking straight up “let me ask the magical answer machine” situations
I’ve had students tell me about how some of their profs are looking up answers to student questions on ChatGPT in front of the class and they are not pleased to be paying for the experience
if any of you want to help by sharing this or telling friends about it, that would be wonderful.
because so many devs are participating it’s a beautiful collection of games featuring the theme of fictional OS. it’s inspiring to see all in one place.
maybe some of you will find something you love! 💕
If you had told me in 2019 that in 2026, after a global pandemic, President Trump would be in an online flame war w/ the Pope, Mark Carney would be PM of Canada w/ a majority, and Justin Trudeau wld be at Coachella with his girlfriend, Katy Perry, I wouldn’t have believed you. Kudos to the writers!
I've been quietly removing tech from my school library since I took over 6 years ago. I thought people would be annoyed, but it's been great. Adults have barely noticed, and the students have responded well.
