Working in my living room is so freaking weird. Turns out I actually like having my work space very separate from my living space. Hopefully this swelling in my ankle starts to go down soon so I can go back to my usual setup.

I nearly went out of my mind yesterday having to stay on the couch and off my foot all day. At least today I get to work while sitting all day.

Fell off a horse yesterday and sprained my ankle pretty bad. Not the worst sprain I've ever had, but enough to make everything that involves walking super annoying. Also will need a new helmet. Good thing everything is on sale!

The New Brunswick government is acknowledging that none of the 40 conditions imposed on the Sisson Mine project have been met almost a decade after they were attached to the province’s environmental impact assessment approval.

N.B. government says none of 40 Sisson Mine conditions met so far | CBC News
Environmentalists are concerned that the conditions for approval of the Sisson Mine north of Fredericton were too weak when they were issued in 2015, and now many are a decade out of date.

I think my favourite part of having a smart watch is fining out exactly how shit my sleep is.
For example, last night I apparently slept for over 8 hours, but my sleep score was still "poor" cause I woke up 33 times and only got 20 mins of deep sleep.
There should be a badge for that.

Ya know, I am gonna start looking up a lot more health inspections for the downtown/riverfront eateries after this.... 🤮
If I were a restaurant that passed a health inspection recently I think I would advertise that fact. Or advertise the record......12 straight years of green!

I was getting tired of never knowing what time it was while on horseback, but also did not want to be pulling out my phone and be distracted by all the notifications.
So I wanted a watch. I decided on a garmin, cause i want the biometrics, but zero notifications.
10/10 would recommend.

The culture of scientific writing tends to suppress style and voice; the same things are prized in popular writing. What happens when you do both, and the distinction begins to blur - is that good or bad?
Are my academic and non-academic writing styles converging? And would that be good?
I spent the first 25 years of my academic career writing scientific papers (and the grant proposals to fund them, of course). I never found that easy – although it got easier through time (and it c…

Spent all day with horses. Did barn chores, rode my lease horse, then drove from Charters Settlement to Harvey to ride the horse I ride for archery.
Am exhausted, and sore, but happy.

I met Bubbles once in downtown Halifax during the height of the Trailer Park Boys fame and let's just say I am not at all surprised at these allegations.

I was a coms staffer at PSAC when the Harper government slashed the public service — a miserable time for everyone. All it led to was layoffs, followed by the fed govt hiring more temps and expensive consultants. And then eventually hiring back even more people. It takes humans to run a country 🤷♀️

There is nothing optimistic about today's budget. Fuck you if you're not a member of the multi-millionaire class I guess. Our PM talks a big game about "sacrifices" but then cuts taxes on super yachts. 🙄
