I get why this seems great & on principle, I agree. I've seen the rampant phone addiction amongst kids & it's frankly jarring. And that's not even talking about the exploitation.
But play that out - It would mean giving your ID to people notorious for dogshit infosec. It would be a nightmare!
Your periodic reminder that the @ucalgarypress.bsky.social / @nichecanada.bsky.social Canadian History & Environment series exists, that it's print/open-access, & that I'm always on the lookout for the next potential volume. Talk to me.

Pressure was great. Recommend.
I’m not a war-movie enjoyer, generally, but I can get behind one about weather and meteorology.
Any other war movies that focus on on #envhist & #histsci?!
