For the folks who love solving puzzles, Black Mountain Numbers Station, by @sdevet.bsky.social, is about solving a mysterious broadcast, using random dice rolls and a 6x6 grid to generate a mess that you'll have to create patterns out of.

The words "Black Mountain Numbers Station" in chunky black letters on a tan background. The 'E' in "Numbers" is a 3, and the "as" are replaced by black triangles. In the background, you can see the image of a radio tower.

Feeling all the feels today, on the 1 yr DFA Lockout anniversary. I, like many of my colleagues, still haven't fully processed this (maybe, because we never got a full "reason/answer/apology" closure?)... I miss singing and dancing on the Lines... all the connections made... all the solidarity...

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

A lot of education discourse is at root an inability to decide whether the purpose of our education system is to 1) teach material and measure learning 2) reward students who work hard 3) separate the smart kids (destined for smart guy jobs) from the dumb kids (destined to serve the smart guys)

Of course wearing a poppy is a political statement. Just because something is common or mundane doesn't mean it's not political. It's also why I don't wear one anymore, and won't until Remembrance day is about why I was asked to go make sacrifices, instead of just blindly thanking me for doing so.

Not just classes are cancelled. DFA members have been locked out by the admin since August 20th: we can't sign students in from waitlists, can't advise them, can't share syllabi, can't help them with scholarship applications, etc. etc. #KeepDalStrong www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board of Governors' "offer" for interest arbitration won't resolve this. It's just creating further delays. Bargaining on the issues important to our members is required. Stop with the stunts, let's get back to the table and talk. It's the only way to #KeepDalStrong

It's very weird just not doing my job. I have a constant haunted feeling that I'm not getting any work done, which is true but also for now the way it is supposed to be. I really hope the Dal board stops d--king around and comes back to the negotiating table. #keepDalstrong

I know profs don't like teaching intro courses but, as someone who's been directing academic programs for 10 years, I can say that if your introductory on-ramps aren't taught by passionate (semi-)experts, the rest of your mid- and upper-level program is f***-ed. The trenches are there for a reason.

There it is: 9:30 a.m. August 20: Dal president Kim Brooks and her board just entered history as the first “leaders” of a U15 in Canada to lockout its faculty. They have no plan, no mandate, and not one clue. @dalfaculty.bsky.social does have a plan for them: get back to the table #KeepDalStrong

DFA & @dalhousieu.bsky.social ended conciliation Aug 11 with no agreement. In fact, Dal Board left at noon, didn't tell us or the conciliator (their empty room below!) Guess it's up to the DFA to #KeepDalStrong. Board's final offer going to DFA members this week. @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social

It bears repeating: @dalhousie.bsky.social’s team went to only 4 bargaining meetings before calling for conciliation, & only 3 conciliation meetings before walking away. They could return any time before the scheduled final meeting. Their refusal—to date—speaks volumes.

On July 28, DFA Pres Dave Westwood asked @dalhousieu.bsky.social Pres Brooks to meet, get the Board back to the table. Her next 2 weeks are too busy. DFA wants resolution. Dal Board wants a lockout. Aug 11 conciliation meeting will tell the tale. #KeepDalStrong @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social

Any lockout @dalhousie.bsky.social would be devastating for our research programs as it freezes sending out grant applications. Lab’s staff and students are on edge & are working hard through the summer. Odd that VPRI still is sending out these grant calls when the board refuses to resolve issues.
