  1. Post about a climate crisis display I did in the library where I work, inspired by Andreas Malm's How to Blow Up a Pipeline (2021).

    I give away zines by @eff, @Aepasek and @hakan_geijer. Thank you all!

  2. New paper about data centres in Canada: where they are, energy use, etc. Most are US-owned, most expansion happening in Alberta and powered by fossil fuels; discussion of pension fund ownership and stranded assets, and more.

  3. This needs a bit of refreshing, but if you're interviewing for a librarian or archivist job at York University, I wrote up everything you might need to know:

  4. Librarian job opening at York University (Toronto), in Research and Scholarly Communications. Deadline 15 May.

    Work will include research visibility, research data management, OA publishing, research impact, plus some subject teaching and consultations.

    Salary range: $110–$130,000 CAD. Unionized. Any questions about York University Libraries, I'm glad to try to answer.

  5. This is the web page of release notes for Clarivate's library platform Alma. If you hover over a box, it shows you up to six links labelled by month. You may need to click to reveal more. If you click on a month, you load a page that has a link to a page with the release notes.

    My place of work spends about $400,000 a year to rent this system.

  6. If you like exercises in Doublespeak, you'd love the York University admin's statement about how their program suspensions will foster academic innovation as well as Truth and Reconciliation:
    yorku.ca/yfile/2025/02/26/york

    By the way, the Auditor General's report included the observation that York's admin had grown in size and pay at a massive rate. And yet they don't seem to be keen on "innovating" their way towards reducing administrative bloat.

  7. My university, York U, is suspending admissions to a bunch of programs, mainly in the humanities. This includes Indigenous Studies.

    There's news coverage in @torontostar. But it doesn't really address the cause.

  8. Well that was a lovely evening!
    Some of the #YorkU extraordinarily short-lived #SolidarityEncampment youts were there as well.

    And I got hustled inside quickly not because I merit VIP treatment, but because #CreepySpouseInDaHouse was outside annoying everyone.

    The promised #JDL counter either never materialized or they arrived too late to do anything. There was not even a single disruption inside.
    That went super smoothly.

  9. @CHogarthPC: Ontario is investing $9M to support the planning of York University’s new School of Medicine.

    This new medical school will ensure Ontario residents continue to have access to the care they need, closer to home. #YorkU #ONpse

  10. You can pre-order a copy of our book 'The Politics of Media Scarcity' now. 20% off now. Read a couple nice endorsements from Professors Natalie Fenton & Anne Kaun here too! #mediascarcity #TMU #YorkU #comcult routledge.com/The-Politics-of-

  11. After 4 years (on and off) of attempts, I've finally gotten over a major bureaucratic hurdle in my degree progress at #YorkU, I can finally say, without reservation, that I am a #Biochem major.
    (Whether I'm at 60+ or 90+ credits is a bit of bureaucracy for another day.)

    The “I'm a third-year undeclared major in Liberal Arts taking genetics” bit was getting embarrassing.

    Now, if I could get myself a transfer to #McMasterUniversity here in #HamiltonON for the next semester, things would be perfect...

  12. Thank you to all who came to #CAFS2023 in-person or virtually! Thank you for the rich scholarship, challenging discussions, and collegiality! We hope you left feeling inspired and reinvigorated to do the work of reckoning, reimagining, and reconciling in our #FoodSystems and beyond! We’ll be reaching out soon to get your feedback on how we can continue to grow and do better for #CAFS2024! In the meantime, safe home!
