Science fiction author, social media assistant, and a peaceful soul who wants to admire all of your pet photos…especially if they’re of rabbits. I’m allergic to most furry pets, so I’m living vicariously through everyone who isn’t. 🐰

I also love to boost and toot about art, fitness, food, prehistory (especially Neanderthals), writing, social justice, and occasional amusing stories from here in Toronto.

Guess who found a little waterfall in Toronto that I didn’t know existed! I’m so happy to be able to participate in this hashtag again.

I have never seen that before. One of the squirrels is laying down on the top of our fence, with one.. paw? leg? hanging down. Just like cats do lol

I am impressed with the bird photos so many of you are sharing here! They’re lovely and make me want to go out this weekend to see what I can get some good photographs of.

Ontario birds, I hope you’ll cooperate with me. 😄

The people who most deserve a relaxing massage due to the back-breaking, stressful work they do, are the people who can least afford it.

I took a walk with this "wolf". The temperature is suddenly +23 C in #Finland. A week ago it was snowing. #suomimastodon #dogsofmastodon

Two of my friends lent me a portable AC they can't use in their current apartment, and I might cry. Holy fuck what a difference it makes in my office.

I'm visiting my mother's childhood with my cousin. It's her childhood home as well. Nowadays no one lives here in the winter.

Farmer’s market season is almost here and I’m excited.

Who else also enjoys seeing what’s new at your local farmer’s market?

Strawberries are at the top of my shopping list. I’m also hoping someone will be selling kohlrabi this year. 🤞

My Follow Friday recommendation for this week is @futurebird.

She is an intelligent and thoughtful person who loves to talk about math, politics, social justice, science fiction, science, and ants.

Journalism needs to focus on what's new, what's surprising and what's uncertain.

That's why the news can give you such a false picture of reality - because lots of important things are not uncertain. And they're not that new; but we just don't talk about them in the media because they are no longer 'surprising'.

As Hans Rosling said, you can't get an accurate picture of the world from the media, you need actual education for that.

We had a terrible traffic jam in . Especially in . Busses were late or they didn't arrive at all. Trams didn't work. The last time something similar was experienced in more than 50 years ago.

I recently discovered Chronically Capable, a job board for people with disabilities or chronic illnesses: https://www.wearecapable.org

It’s mostly U.S. based for now, but there are ads for other countries, too. I want every one of us jobseekers to find the perfect position this year. 😊

Boosts are warmly welcomed to this post as are suggestions for other hashtags to include if I’m missing good ones.

A pack horse librarian delivering books in rural Kentucky in 1938. During the Great Depression, the Pack Horse Library Project was a Works Progress Administration (WPA) program in which the librarians, who were often called "book women" or "book ladies," delivered books to remote parts of Appalachia.

My fiance is still at . I thought I'd be diligent and cut some with a wood splitter. Oh that was ! The wood kept getting stuck in the cutter blade (branches made cutting difficult)! I had hit the wood with the poll of an ax to get it loose. I had to change all my clothes after 45 minutes because I was so sweaty.

Is reading random Wikipedia articles the modern equivalent of reading encyclopedias? It feels pretty similar to me. 🤔

We saw nothing during the eclipse other than a much darker sky than one would usually see at 3:20 pm thanks to how cloudy it was here.

The streetlights were triggered to turn on in the middle of the day, though, which was cool.

If vampires were real, they would have been able to come outside and frighten the humans for about 10 minutes there…at least until Buffy the Vampire Slayer showed up. 😛

@SabiLewSounds There’s a small gift card that’s given to one reviewer every week and a larger gift card you get once a year, but it’s otherwise unpaid.
