This is really true. The partial eclipse is cool but it's just amazing to see the full totality.

I know it's in the wrong parts of the world but here is my hope that the total solar eclipse brings confusion, reassessment, and peace.

If you're working on #ActivityPub, I highly recommend the new draft report on using HTTP Signature and ActivityPub by @snarfed.org@snarfed.org and @nightpool . This draft just hit the stands this week, and it's a really complete coverage of the topic.

It would be pretty cool to get aol.com on the fediverse.

How long has it been since you used an ActivityPub-enabled forum or link-sharing service?

The #SocialCG started a task force for forums and link-sharing services. I'm so excited to see it going! I love the innovation happening in this space.

Today, April 3, is the birthday of Brother Marie-Victorin Kirouac. Brother Marie-Victorin was a botanist who was passionate about the plants of his native St. Lawrence River valley. At a time when the Canadian scientific establishment was anglo dominated, he proved that Quebecois could contribute to science. His 1935 magnum opus, Flore laurentienne, remains the definitive guide to this ecoregion. His personal collection was the basis of the Montreal Botanical Garden.

Things I love about @birdfeed:

• Own domain. Hardcore.
• Beautiful drawings.
• Really obscenely foul-mouthed birds.

My question: what's the best way to use an effin' bird as a reaction to a post on the Fediverse?

UN troops, on the ground, ensuring the safety of the civilian population and the delivery of humanitarian aid.

That's what we have a United Nations for.

We Canadians had 6,132 forest fires in 2023. We lost 16.5 million hectares of forest cover.

The Rideau Canal opened for skating in 2024 later than ever before. Officials quietly questioned whether it would ever open again.

Weather fluctuations threaten the maple syrup industry -- too cold last year, too warm this year, too unpredictable all the time.

Forests. Winter sports. Maple, fucking, syrup.

We are in a climate emergency and our culture and identity are at risk. Keep the #CarbonTax.
