Just came across a student assignment that still contained the hyperlinks from the website article it was plagiarizing. 🤦♂️

When Word crashes while you’re entering a citation because you forgot to open Zotero first and you lose what you’d just written. 😑

My geo pun skills are really paying off! 🤓🎄
So, we had some valiant efforts.
Our faves included:
💧Yuletide on a water divide
💧Decor on a corridor
💧Tinsel-a on a peninsula
💧Decoration on a land formation
But the correct answer is, of course, *Christmas on an isthmus*
Massive congrats to @JeremyLeathers 🎄🎄🎄
I saw a flash in the sky while walking home tonight. I was facing south, so I didn’t see it, only the flash. I thought that it may have been a meteor! Wow! 💥

I’ll be giving the lunchtime lecture for @UWGeography a week from today. If you want to know what I’ve been up to since I left Winnipeg in 2018, then come on down! It’s free and food will be served! The talk might even be good too. We’ll see.
The traffic signals are out at Osborne and Broadway. Traffic is very backed up. Need some traffic control. @cityofwinnipeg @wpgpolice

I didn’t want to call 911, but neither @cityofwinnipeg 311 nor the @wpgpolice phone number had a good option to select for reporting this.

We’d be a lot better off if elections at all levels used ranked ballots. Our leaders should be deemed acceptable by the majority of voters, not just a small plurality. 🗳

Every time that you fail, you have a choice. Get bitter or get better. Let’s all choose the latter. Learn new skills, connect with friends, believe in yourself and what you can accomplish. You and everyone around you will be better for it!

I was very lucky to have been a part of this amazing field trip! 🚁💧👨🔬

I swear the traffic lights on Franklin Ave in downtown Yellowknife are specifically timed to ensure that pedestrians have to stop at every single cross street. 😐🛑🚶♂️

Every sign leading into Winnipeg should just say,”Welcome to Winnipeg. We’re alright.” #wpgpoli
You know you’ve spent too much time working by yourself when mandatory first aid training becomes a social highlight! 😬

I took the bike trailer instead of the car yesterday for my regular weekend errands. It took a little longer, but felt great. Plus, my laden trailer and I got a lot of looks and smiles from other folks out and about! 😎🚴♂️

Calgary should have scored some of these goals in the first round.
If it keeps going like this, this series is gonna be a massacre. 🔥🔥🔥
My friend @UscholdJay and I had a good laugh while taking the Empire Builder from Fargo to Chicago when this thing came out of the station with the baggage in tow. Simple but effective! 🚜🧳
This buggy wins the 🥇 for the best luggage cart and set up for the national rail journey.

I feel this way often when I’m cycling. Please just treat me as you would another car. Sometimes “being nice” can create a hazard. For example, if you stop in the median lane while I’m trying to make a left turn, drivers in the curb lane can’t see me.
Stopping for a pedestrian who’s waiting to cross when you don’t have a stop sign isn’t the gracious gesture you think it is. Just go! There’s already a system in place here and it doesn’t need an override.

I spent the week doing the @usask_water isotope tracer workshop. After two years of mostly reading papers by myself, it was nice to to learn directly from scientists doing really interesting research. It was a great reminder of how cool science is and why I got into it! 👨🔬
