I have been looking at part time courses to learn new skills but so many courses and jobs related to them are of no interest to me.
A lot of what's available is tech or AI related, or many of them are creative lessons that I think are mostly a sort of hobby thing for people in boring jobs.
Having an art degree the creative classes don't offer much except use of space and equipment.
Somehow I thought there would be more on offer from universities.
I recently came across a post about a library budget game used with library science students in the 1970s, and it sent me down a rabbit hole exploring the long history of games, simulations, and play in adult learning. Maybe serious gaming isn’t a new idea after all—perhaps we’re simply rediscovering something educators knew decades ago.

When a Submissive Wants You Back: A Gay Dom Reflects on Desire
What happens when obedience is easy, but unprompted desire is rare? This deeply personal post explores the quiet ache that can live inside D/s, especially for a gay dominant who knows that being served is not always the same as being wanted. At its center is a simple truth: submission without erased agency is far more intimate than performance. This piece reflects on affection, initiative, queer longing, and the difference between being obeyed and being deeply, openly desired.

As the fall 2025 university and college semester wraps up, what inspires you about teaching or learning food studies? Perhaps a Canadian Food Studies article on pedagogy? We suggest you start with Phoebe Stephens’ and Lucy Hinton’s “The state of post-secondary food studies pedagogy in Canada” from vol. 8, no. 4 (https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v8i4.468).

Then check out the rest of this themed issue on Food pedagogies in Canada, guest edited by Michael Classens and Jennifer Sumner. Articles cover food literacy, integrated studies, sitopias, land-based learning, syllabi, bachelor’s degrees, farmers’ markets, food waste, campus cafeterias, performance, and food justice!
