Spending the day reading @WesternuHistory
#His1840GraphicHistory 's delightful graphic histories. Head-shakingly imaginative.

Here's a few samples, w/ the permission of their authors.

My favourite tweet genre these days:

'What the hell are you still doing on this godforsaken site? Come to the other place, you utterly worthless turds.

We miss you.'

When I start into a new project with Bill Turkel ...

White spruce naturally grows along our coasts and is commonly used for reforestation. However, they might not grow on PEI beyond the next 50 years.

Cake goes on plates. You have a bite. Put the fork down. Have another bite. You can enjoy cake.

You hold a cookie. You can't put it down w/out leaving crumbs. When you eat a bite there's crumbs. The safest place for it is in your mouth asap. You can't enjoy a cookie.

I said it.

Remembering the time I hosted Brian Fagan to a packed house at my uni & he took a wild 3-minute detour in his powerpoint to talk about my (utterly unrelated) research, & how important & relevant it was to his thinking. (It wasn't.) It was so sweet.

On paper, I'm having a productive 2020s.

The trouble? It's all been on paper. I'm ready to come out of my shell/home office. If anyone wants to talk any of these or anything else in 2024-25 (podcast, zoom w/ your class, presentation, etc), lemmeknow.

My eclipse?

Turns out I was the only person in class who’d seen one before.
I told everyone what it’d be like, but they didn’t believe me, & locked me in a closet.
They went outside, saw the eclipse, & were amazed.
Then they knew what they had done & were ashamed.

A big congratulations to Graeme Wynn, who has been such a force in & for 🇨🇦 #envhist #cdnhist for so long.

Bought a 1934 #AnneofGreenGables movie 'herald' - small poster - on ebay for use in my new book. Just noticed this on the back. So true.

Hi, in absentia!
Great to see so much #envhist / #envhum coming out of 🇨🇦.

The fun/danger of compressing a career into 65 seconds.😄

But thank you Western University for the career & @SRC_RSC for honouring it.

Alongside 1967 article in 🇨🇦 leading magazine on death of Chanie Wenjack - macleans.ca/society/the-lo… - there's a follow-up piece on a 1965 Indigenous protest that drew lots of national attention.

But, hey, we never knew, right?

Sorry to see The Queen's Grad Club @QueensU struggling.

#GradClubmemory :
I was working at the bar.
She was working in the kitchen.
I stole a moment, went over, & rang the bell.
Reader, I married her.
