Dedicated School For Autistic Students Scrapped By Edmonton Public School Board
https://autisticgoblin.ca/2026/04/17/dedicated-school-for-autistic-students-scrapped-by-edmonton-public-school-board/
Never did I ever think Salt Lake City, Utah, and Boise, Idaho, would be leading the resistance. But as an Edmontonian, I should have known better - you can be a progressive city even in a conservative state or province. Anyway, I applaud the moral courage of the Salt Lake and Boise city councils. Long may your flags fly! #Boise #SaltLakeCity #Edmonton
👋 Hey all... trying out life at the beige.party
David Mitchell (he/him)
Married, dad to a set of mostly grown young people (but they still eat my food).
Edmonton string instructor (will wear any hat related to music).
Promoter of:
basic public health measures;
strong, integrated, compassionate communities;
simple humanitarian values.
Every person is inherently, uniquely, and infinitely valuable.
Interested in #music #art #design #civics #history #abpoli #cndpoli #yegcc #canada #yeg #edmonton #ableg #PublicHealth #science #education #WearAMask ... so like everything except professional sports I guess.
Been at mstdn.ca since 2022, moving proactively to protect my connection to y'all, just in case.
Went to the campus pride march at work today. It was long and my feet and knees hurt because i'm old and it's cold and icy but it was nice. It's so easy to get cynical and feel hopeless as our provincial government takes rights away from trans and gay people, but multiple provincial politicians and the mayor of Edmonton and hundreds of faculty and staff showed up to support LGBTQ students. It was good to see that not all hope is lost. And to hear people clearly state that every one is welcome at University of Alberta, and everyone is welcome in Edmonton, but hate isn't!

Happy first day of Pride Month from Issa, who loves without limits. #PrideMonth #pride2026 #yeg #Edmonton #pride #DogsOfMastodon #cdnpoli
Hiiii! After unexpectedly finding myself without a job for the first time in my professional career, I am looking for a new role effective immediately - one where I can do good, period.
🌟 PREFERRED ROLES (non-exhaustive!):
▪️Writer: technical, reports, newsletters, deep dives, articles
▪️Teacher/tutor: #German, #linguistics, language study; data analytics & literacy, #statistics
▪️Coach: #academia to what’s beyond; personal development; organization; task & project management; app setups & ecosystems
▪️Data analyst / data scientist
▪️Researcher / policy #analyst
🏢 PREFERRED INDUSTRIES & AREAS:
▪️Non-profit/not-for-profit & #advocacy. Broadly speaking: more just, sustainable, more good
▪️Tutoring, coaching, education (software, tools, instruction), academia
▪️Civic good, municipal affairs, local journalism, urbanism, environment/ecology
▪️Small tech/tech for good, FOSS/FLOSS, privacy, digital sovereignty
▪️Disaster management/prevention, emergency operations
(I have work, volunteer, and/or education/training experience in all of these categories - happy to share more!)
💪🏼 I’LL BE A FANTASTIC FIT IF:
▪️You suspect there’s a story in a heap of #data, but don’t know what it is - or how to coax it out. I’ll find it for ya.
▪️You need great visuals and tailored communication for any audience: clear academic reports, engaging tech newsletters, gentle introductions to complex topics, keynotes - I love ‘em all.
▪️You need someone to dig deep. I naturally follow up on every “huh, that’s odd - let me see what’s really going on there!”
▪️You want a critical thinker who gives honest advice. You’ll get the real deal.
▪️You like saying what you mean and talking to each other like real people. I can speak corporate, but I’d prefer leaving that seven-layer dip of jargon behind!
▪️Bonus: You suspect corporate AI may soon be unaffordable for most organizations, or the bubble may burst, and need someone who can do excellent work without chatbot crutches if needed.
⛔️ NOT LOOKING FOR:
▪️Roles where I’m expected to rubber-stamp work, go through the motions, or “put the data fries in the bag.”
▪️Cultures where manufactured emergencies are the norm and there’s no time to think, explore, or dig deep.
▪️Jobs where you can’t tell me what good I’ll do or where my positive impact will be.
🖥️ PREFERRED SETTING:
▪️Remote, flexible hours
▪️Contracts/project work; very open to a portfolio-style career
▪️Hybrid or “we get together sometimes” roles in the #Edmonton area
▪️I’m not chasing the corporate ladder; impact matters more. If it’s a good fit, I don’t care whether it comes with a “Senior” label.
#boostOK, and if you do, I’ll send all the good vibes so there may never again be an unexpected item in your bagging area. 💜
