Sherbrook (anywhere without separated lanes) seems generally awful. I’ll admit to biking more on sidewalks in the past two months than I have since I was probably 5 years old. Alas.

Counterpoint: today was an extremely enjoyable cycling day - the cycling lanes were more clean than they’ve been in ages.

I bet it was an enjoyable walk!

Several times this winter, I have gotten to the campus bike shed and then panicked as I look into my bag, thinking my laptop might not be there. Luckily, so far it has been each time, but I see myself in this post.

On the other hand, @umanitoba.bsky.social gets a 10/10 from me so far for this winter for clear bike paths. This is how you do. Bonus pic- beautiful hoarfrost on campus this morning!

Rad. Thanks! And agreed!

I am teaching scientific writing in the winter - is it okay if I paraphrase some of the document you have written to help me explain to my UG students why I have a strict "no genAI policy" in my classroom? I will add a full attribution to you at the bottom of the slides, of course!

Here’s the “path” along Academy heading east towards the bridge after Stafford last night. There’s a sidewalk somewhere underneath there.

Hi Nicole - I was too busy simultaneously poorly parenting and ineffectively working to check bsky. Hope you got some good quotes?

My sons N/K teacher emailed at 7:25 am to say the roads were terrible and that their class holiday party was moved to tomorrow. She should have never been on the road.

I’m also thinking about how Zionism has become a four letter word. I might regret posting this. But as a super privileged Canadian Jew that blends in as any other white looking person, this all really hurts y’all. And not talking about it for fear of people thinking less of you can’t be the answer.
