Today I learned that the incredibly expensive Eero Pro 6’s we have at home don’t support MTU adjustment, which is a problem when your ISP uses PPPoe. So, if your ISP uses standard DHCP protocol, I have two Eero Pro 6’s available!

Local friends; be careful on the sidewalks and paths this evening! There is a lot of black ice

LinkedIn is a weird place. Lots of (usually men) folks pontificating about Elon or how DOGE is a good thing. Folks that are supposedly smart business people, endorsing the creation of a fake government department, costing $$$, whose purpose is to ***checks notes*** reduce government spending?

I hate to say this but it is brutally true… Spotify > Apple Music

Just muted all references to Trump and Musk from my feed because I like my sanity and I’m tired of the deluge of anxiety inducing nonsense.

How is it in the year 2024, Spotify doesn’t allow you to add a podcast via RSS link? I’d like to use one app for music and podcasts but most Patreon podcasts use RSS for distribution. No bueno.

lol. We’d sabotage him, and he’d never understand what was happening. I’m a former member of the Top One Percent Society. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Saturday afternoon…

Saturday morning…

Hey people baking raisins into delicious stuff: stop

Ontario on track for worst home building since 1955. This isn’t a “Trudeau housing crisis” it’s a provincial incompetence and purposeful conservative sabotage to keep the narrative going.

It’s Friday. Best news I’ve had all week.

Hello #ptbo and #ptbokawartha I've started a list of locals (regional). If you are not on it and want to be, follow and DM me. and follow @kawarthanow.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/wire...

Oh brother. We back? The outages aren't us. One of our bandwidth providers apparently got their fiber cable cut and has been on/off all day

America is so fucked.

Today is Patton’s gotcha day! Happy gotcha day to the spicy meatball.

In case you were wondering my stance on things (if you’re going to follow me, you should know): Fuck Poilievre Fuck Musk Fuck Trump Fuck the Conservative Party of Canada Fuck the GOP Fuck anyone too stupid to know better Back to kitty pictures!

hello and welcome to the 1M people that have joined Bluesky in the last week!!!

I would like to personally thank InstantPot for tonight’s short rib ragu, because if it weren’t for the power of pressure, we’d be eating takeout.

Introduce yourself as a TV character:

hmmm

The exact reason why I’m here.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Time to commit to a platform. Haven’t been on Xitter for ages and Threads feels gross these days.

If “they” really are controlling the weather, does Canada ever have some grievances with “they”.

Anyways, let me reintroduce myself. I like coffee, beer, cooking, photography, and politics. Mostly I’ll post photos of my cats. Like this one!

Hello Bluesky - been a minute. How are you doing, fellow kids?

Is anyone interacting on this platform? Twitter is long gone and deleted, twice. Threads is an echo chamber. Mastodon is pretty great but missing a certain something I can’t put my thumb on.

Totally normal temps today in central Ontario, Canada…

Last month, the union that represents 45,000 Ontario (Canada) catholic school teachers made my book, Love Lives Here: a Story of Thriving in a Transgender Family, their book club read. Today they're all discussing it and ways to be better allies. This makes me SO happy. I can't even tell you.

The number of companies with openly dark patterns built into cancelling their services is alarming. Experienced it today with an ISP. Again a little while ago with SiriusXM Canada. Instead of lame legislation like Bill C-18, spend some energy on that garbage.

can’t wait for this guy to put a microchip inside my skull

I really fucking hate boats

Ah, Sunday. Today shall be filled with lovely people, guitars and the occasional libation.
