So I've started the process of collecting mental health and illness and mental health care related poems from people who live and working HRM, with the aim of creating a new work of art or collection them as my legacy project during my 2024-27 term. Come out April 29 to the Central Library for more!

I'm giving a talk on Friday March 14 about the history of fog in Atlantic Canada @smuarts.bsky.social

The stories people tell today about fog echo centuries of evocative sensory descriptions and emotional narratives, showing us how fog has always shaped daily life and culture along these coasts ☁️

Never not disgusted by the way educational institutions use the language of disability and accessibility to justify their increased use of predatory AI. Apparently, instructors have no right to guard their IP against companies like Amazon, our lectures used to train the tech that will replace us.

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument.

Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed.

3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened.
