Bought a squirrel feeder for my kid and dog to enjoy some squirrel tv at the dinner table.
My mom asked if it's marketed as a squirrel feeder, and the answer is no, but it clips onto the railing like a Tim Hortons on the 401 so I can't imagine it not being used as a squirrel pit stop.
Loom is warped! I probably should have waited a few more days since I made a lot more mistakes than usual and it was harder than I thought it would be with the current state of my back. But with breaks and help and this Danny Michel song, I got it done.
Here is a product called "Veggie Love" from an establishment named "Leaf Doner". Tell me if there is anything that stands out as unusual to you about it
OK, running #RuneQuest with 3 adventurers is always going to be a dicey business. They won but one adventurer bled out from a head wound because the First Aid roll failed and the only other adventurer who could heal was in a one-on-one honor duel with a Humakti whilst this was happening… #CanCon#CattleRaid
Join our volunteers at #CanCon this weekend, Fri-Sun, at the EPIC Exhibition Park in Canberra, for demo games of #Netrunner and to pick up our latest sets!
Hunh, just read that Myles Goodwin of April Wine died today at the age of 75. I can’t say I was ever compelled to buy an April Wine album, but their hits were part of my musical landscape. I’ll aways crank it if “Oowatanite” comes on 😄
Andrew Coyne very clearly articulates why the Canadian goverment's #C11#LinkTax and #C18 internet #CanCon bills are actively harmful to Canadians and our access to #journalism and the #internet generally. Certainly we have challenges to face on these issues, but a good start would be not making things worse with misguided and heavy-handed regulations
Stoked to be moderating a #panel at this year's #CanCon on #Gentrification#Climate and #Infrastructure - @annaleen and @premeesaurus be prepared for me to stalk you a lot. I don't think Mark Robinson has a Masto account, so I'll have to search him up the old fashioned way.
After a sold-out launch in #MileEnd Montreal, Sarah Gilbert is joining with a fellow writer Michelle Syba for a joint book launch in Toronto, Sept. 21.
Our Lady of Mile End is a must-read for all ex-pat Montrealers in Toronto, or anyone who enjoys great short fiction!
This Ottawa-based science fiction convention has consistently had stronger COVID policies than most #medical conferences since the start of the #pandemic.
They survey people (prior to each convention) interested in attending, and cater the policies to what people want. You may be surprised. In light of new variants and what might be around in the fall... Some highlights:
"The clearest message we received was that mandatory #masking was an absolutely necessary part of having a safe and welcoming environment."
"There was also mixed support for ensuring that attendees are vaccinated, but since provincial governments have stopped supporting the various #vaccine verification systems, we don’t want to promise something we can’t deliver. Can*Con will encourage all attendees to be up to date on their vaccines and boosters." #SF#sciencefiction#CanCon#mask#IDmastodon#medmastodon
No Megan Rapinoe slander will be tolerated. None, you hear me? Rapinoe was the first white football player to support Colin Kaepernick. Soccer is football.
I'm scared of France, Netherlands, and England. The US didn't get much worse. Everyone else has gotten a lot better.
The "I'm a Fox watcher that can't name 3 players in the US Women's Nation Team" to "I'm now an expert on women's soccer, and make more misogynistic comments about the USWNT than Alexi Lalas" pipeline is always in full effect.
@mekkaokereke Heh. Reminds me of when someone on the IOC complained about the Canadian women's hockey team's boisterous (and unladylike) gold medal celebration at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.
Hey there! I use the penname Drosophiliac, but you can call me Rae or Drossy (they/it/she). I'm 24, nonbinary, leftist, and autistic. I live in (but am not from) #Vancouver, BC—I immigrated to Canada in 2021 from Houston, TX.
I study #bioinformatics in college (essentially a mix of compsci and biology). My favorite subject is genetics and I hope to do research someday. I'm getting ready to apply to transfer to UBC.
I produce experimental electronic music, working loosely in the genres of outsider house, epic collage, and plunderphonics. I use #Reaper as my DAW. You can see my production notes under #MusicProdLog.
I have a beautiful cat whom I raised on the bottle in 2018 and love very much. You can see him in #FattoushTheCat.
My other interests include: algae/seaweed, cats/dogs/birds/fruit flies, programming (mostly Python), drawing/writing, film, listening to music and vinyl collecting, plant-based cooking, and coffee.
Thanks for reading! I'm super nice so feel free to reach out.
With the #CRTC starting its C11 consultations. CBC released this propaganda piece on the definition of "canadian content" dressed up as how Toronto and Vancouver host a lot of movies. But once hooked, the narrator dives into the no contrrol over content" etc that the legacy media have argued during C11 hearings about the need to keep that clause in definition of Canadian content.

@jfmezei The old argument was that if we didn't have Cancon requirements for broadcasters, their hours would be filled with US shows, with no prime time available for Canadian ones. But now that bandwidth for video is essentially unlimited, Canadian producers don't lack opportunities for Canadians to watch their stories. The old rules no longer make sense for video [0].
if I have five words left,
and I'm about to fuckin' expire,
and I, like,
and, all I have left to say
is to to talk about
how #SARSCoV2 floats in, like,
tiny bits of fuckin' moisture,
I'm probably not gonna say
We've had Canadian content regulations for decades and we are still being steamrolled by non-Canadian "culture".
Censorship would remove non-Canadian content. Here we are giving a boost to Canadian content among the world content, so it doesn't get drowned out by big money interests.
It is the big money that is algorithmically censoring.
