TFW you get to use a 1950s survey scope to pin azimuth for true north on an incoming Sundial.
A bit of fun, this Wild Heerbrug T3 (yes, that's its name) #canada government scope was donated to #yorkuniversity in 1980s, when the original York Sundial still existed.
Now we're getting a BIG Sundial and using a bit of the 50s from the 80s to align azimuth.
The location is awesomely aligned with @AllanICarswellObservatory for likely obvious reasons 😀 #astronomy #Astrodon #science #sundialsunday

60: Groovy skies tonight, you dig it?
1m: Umm why yes, but what's that noise you're making?
60:I'm golden with these gears but hey we can't all be cherry.
1m:You can say that again, my pointing model is already off...
60 from the 60's vs 1m from 2019 last night in #Toronto... a telescope face off 😂
and the end of the story is that they were both good #telescope and got all their research objects#observatory #science #Astrodon #astronomy #yorkuniversity @AllanICarswellObservatory

Student burnout is a big problem, with many students feeling exhausted. Universities like York and U of Houston Law are now looking at fixing the system, not just telling students to cope better.

The first step of the new 8m Sundial is piqueing my sunny astronomy interest! Fingers crossed for a finished installation this summer at #yorkuniversity
For enthusiasts it will be based on the Shmoyer Sunquist Sundial design and should be fairly high accuracy! #sundial #solarastronomy #solar #telescope #science #Astrodon #astronomy

Latest FOSS Academic post is: Oops! All Microslop. Or, Trying to Write with Microsoft.
https://fossacademic.tech/2026/01/06/oops-all-microslop.html
It's a post in which I see what it's like for me to try to create a blank document with York University's Microsoft 365 subscription.
TL;DR version is: it's all about Copilot, and starting a blank Word doc is actually kinda... hard.
The post is a bit long, but it does have a lot of screenshots + a dash of anger.

Professor: Texas used to have universities
By abandoning free inquiry, Texas is abandoning the definition of university.
"If you’re an instructor at Texas Tech, you can extol fascism; but you cannot wonder aloud whether a mutation to the SRY gene on the Y chromosome makes a person neither male nor female."

An interview with Frances Latchford, chair of Gender and Women's Studies at York University, on the reasons why York is suspending that program and the damage that suspension is doing:
"From 2018 to 2023, the size of York’s senior administration team expanded by 37 per cent, and their compensation increased by 47 per cent, despite a 0.3 per cent increase in enrolment and a three per cent increase in total revenue."
