In 1901, 15 Metis families moved to southwest Winnipeg where six other families had relocated to years earlier. This was the beginning of what became known as Rooster Town. Half a century later, the City bulldozed the community. Let's learn more. 🧵1/12

highly recommend not using ChatGPT at all, since the servers that power it use more electricity than major cities, it's been known to recommend eating glue and smoking multiple cigarettes a day, and you could simply use your wonderful brains to read and study things on your own.

highly recommend asking ChatGPT for historical events that occurred on your birthday. things will click.

“A university? Why no! We’re a Speciversity!” It’s like that satiric episode on “The Great Eastern” so many years ago.
Robin Whitaker @rgwhitaker.bsky.social@rgwhitaker

So whose educational aspirations get sacrificed? Don't like where this is going, knowing the tenor of the times. Given that MUN is the provincial and only university in NL, what message is this sending, particularly to students who don't have the option to head to the mainland?

Education profs knew what was at stake when we supported @AMPL_AMPD on the picket line the first time they went on strike back in February. We are stronger together.

“One lesson stands out above all others: when we fight, we win!" After a months-long strike, @AMPL_AMPD has an agreement with McGill whereby the challenges to AMPL's certification and the unionization of other faculties will be dropped. Read our statement: caut.ca/latest/2024/10…

Let's talk about how the political positions I support—such as greater freedom for all, multiculturalism, and respect for different ways of living—have, in fact, improved fashion. 🧵
Carl Benjamin 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿@Sargon_of_Akkad

Derek, for all his pretent congeniality, will attempt to viciously class shame me, but he knows I'm right. His politics destroys the things he loves, and all he can do is pretend he doesn't care for them, really, and that it's just abstract and passing interest that he's above.
