I'm back on Bluesky after a bit of a hiatus (been posting primarily on #LinkedIn). #TranslationStudies, are we still in the building? #HigherEd #Canada #Translation #AcademicChatter

Had the pleasure of participating in roundtable discussion on how to recruit/retain students in #translation programs at the @act-cats.bsky.social unconference at #Congressh. Lots of great ideas shared including more collab with social work programs & nursing programs. Thoughts? #OfficialLanguages

I'm so ecstatic that people are using AI to generate asinine content while #Manitoba burns...Don't get me wrong, I love a little #BrainRot myself, but remember no planet, no memes-just sayin'. We're fully capable of creating memes & creative content without planet-killing, job-killing tech. #MBpoli

@academic-chatter.bsky.social I'm curious to know whether any #HigherEd institutions have 'baked in' #SocialMedia #outreach in the collective agreements or in performance appraisal forms/templates (and not only as this relates to speech and academic freedom, but also in terms of #OpenResearch). TIA!

I've been looking forward to the day when I could connect all my interests and make #translation visible in places where it's usually taken for granted (or ignored!). Thank you to #Manitoba running star Mallory Richard for inviting me to talk translation, #AI, and #running: shorturl.at/kDnpM

Doing my weekly round-up of tech news and am catching up on the unveiling of Altman's/World's Orb. Apparently, influencers attended the event and @kevinroose.com & @caseynewton.bsky.social described them as "orbfluencers" on the latest Hard Fork. Had a soblaugh. More here: shorturl.at/h8o6N

Welp. Couldn't help myself: I wrote a few words on "woke research" on LinkedIn. I hope to have demonstrated that linguistic justice & demolinguistic data can be helpful for more than "the libs" (however you want to define the latter). Curious to read? Head on over: www.linkedin.com/posts/activi...

I am heartened to see that Canadians voted in favour of a party that isn't looking to arbitrarily defund academic research in areas where this country may need it most. Onwards. #HigherEd #CdnPoli #innovation

What are your thoughts on the absence of robust AI policy/costing in the Conservatives' costed platform? Intentional omission? If so, hypotheses? I wrote about my thoughts with a link to a G&M article on LinkedIn (will share) and would love to hear others'? shorturl.at/NrUch #CdnPoli

Hello Blue Sky - took me awhile, but finally decided to come on over. If you're into #multilingualism, #SocialMedia, #SocialTech, and the #creator economy, get in touch. Also into #politics, #culture, and all things #trailrunning.
