@LStoneCityVegan this is a more positive statement than probably it should be. I am "wondering if it is possible" for me to put together a Mastodon instance. My actual ability to do so is as yet undetermined.

I'm really happy with this one -- I met Paul because he was volunteering at a student event and said he had to leave early to be in a dance battle and I said "hold up" and one thing led to another. Great @QueensEngineer student doing cool things in the community!

Congratulations to the November $1,000 microgrant winner: Casually Cool K-POP Hip-Hop Dance Club! They're a Queen's student-run choreography dance group, and are hoping to use 💰 to rent studio space, pay instructors, and try to become a full AMS club!

It is vanishingly unlikely that @beefanddairy has not seen this, but on the off chance.
Annie? Rauwerda?@anniierau
one time in college a professor spent 90 minutes talking about an example scenario that involved beef and i thought nothing of it until several weeks later when i found out that my classmate had made a minute long compilation of all 125 times he said "beef" in one lecture

I feel like I'd enjoy vampire and zombie movies a lot more if they'd swap out the word "undead" for my preferred term, "schmalive".

When I see somebody taking a picture of somebody else on campus (and it's convocation at @queensu, so it's happening a bunch), the 15 seconds after I ask "hey, do you want me to take one of both of you together?" is invariably the best 15 seconds of my day.

I'm getting curious about a very specific turn of phrase in legal decisions and might have annoyed an ONSC justice. Law is weird and fun, and case reading is actually a blast if you pick the right cases. shep.ca/2022/09/16/dra…

also apologies to @GordonLambie but the resemblance is truly uncanny

I legitimately don't understand how the good people at @AwesomeKingston keep letting me do their newsletters twice a month.

@garrettelliott Excellent! Maybe hand off at the AK Live next week.

@MatthewShepherd That would be awesome! Lauren says yeah!

Great to see @QueensECE professor Ali Etemad promoted to Assistant Professor at @QueensEngineer -- he's doing amazing research that we profiled (succinctly) recently in the context of his announcement as a Mitchell Professor.

Kingston artist Herman Kaur (@artsie_by_passion on Insta) is in the Tiniest Gallery this month, with the print "Here Comes the Sun," a charming little piece that we happened across in the Tett Centre for Creativity & Learning during a visit to the Juniper Cafe.

@MattChavis @neilhimself It is a very good quote! My wife still has her signed-in-Montreal dog-eared copy of Good Omens in a case on her office wall.

Don't remember when I saved this. It was years ago. So glad I ran across it today. @neilhimself

It's free on @KFPL/@hooplaDigital so I started the Ferrara movie Zeros and Ones & the first 3 minutes is a selfie of Ethan Hawke telling us his motivation to make the movie, like we're his mom and he's explaining all the burn marks on the good carpet. I am very uncomfortable.

If I had one wish I know it should probably be "cure cancer" or "no wars" but I swear "shift-ctrl-v is paste text without formatting in every piece of software universally forever" is RIGHT UP THERE

As I get older the kind of vibe I want to put out is sort of a "John Astin as OG Gomez Addams" thing, which is really a "you'll understand why I want this or not" kind of situation.
