Morning. Cooler out, finally. Summer McIntosh, another world record because water obeys her now. Canada picks our submarines today. Sovereignty, but wetter and not the U.S. PP tries sounding pro-Canadian while legitimizing seppies. Norway was unreal. Tonight? We’re all Belgium. Coffee’s on. ☕🇨🇦

Now is your best chance to find my ebook on for a promotional price at @Smashwords as part of their Annual Summer/Winter Sale! You can find all my book on-sale at www.smashwords.com/profile/view... #Smashwords

Morning. Needed rain, right? MAGA sheltering in the African American museum during a storm is the U.S. in miniature: loud, hypocritical, unreal, and unaware of the history around them. At home, seppies rage over their grievance pipeline. Climate change is the weather report. Coffee. Coding. ☕

Morning. Rain all weekend, so the sky is doing a rinse cycle. 🌧️ PP is borrowing the MAGA playbook: say the ridiculous thing, dodge, mock media, sell fear as patriotism. Jivani’s culture-war chorus is right there. This isn’t country-building. Watch the patterns. Read my book. Coffee’s on. ☕🇨🇦

Morning. Still melting, but we push on. Bryan Adams gave the 51st State nonsense a proper Canadian FU. “Elbows up” is now dictionary official, and the seppies are sweating harder than the sidewalks. Build Canada. Check the sky for an asteroid. Drink water. Coffee first. Slava Ukraini. ☕🇨🇦🇺🇦

Morning. After a sweltering Canada Day, hydration is no longer optional. Check on elderly neighbours. PM Carney’s message: Canada belongs to ALL Canadians. TRUE, STRONG, FREE, worth fighting for. Lets work together for better. Back to work. Coffee first. Sovereignty always. Sarcasm as needed. ☕🇨🇦

HAPPY CANADA DAY! @gandersocial.ca launches today, so reclaim a CDN corner of the internet not rented from billionaires. Join me there. @brittlestar.com CUSMA review begins. The U.S. may bring crayons to trade talks, while Mexico eyes EV chess. Celebrate. Stay sovereign. Carney on. Coffee on. ☕️

One more sleep. Canada Day! Gander Social is launching. Join me there - gander.social/profile/jgbu... #Gander #GanderSocial

Morning. Heat dome outside, basement lab freezing. Balance, apparently. PM Carney showing up at Pride was good to see. PP and Jivani showing how to say Christian nationalist without saying it. They are toxic for CA. Pride is year-round here. Coffee’s on. Everyone’s welcome. Except bigots. ☕🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

What are you doing today. Me I'm chill'in on Gander Social. Join me there - gander.social/profile/jgbu... #Gander #GanderSocial

Morning. Super sunny, heat dome loading, and my phone site still fights me like it has principles (CSS 😡). PP lecturing on elites from Stornoway is rich. Alberta needs an election. Seppies need a nap. Trump threatens Iran at midnight because sleep is for democracies. Canada this aft. Coffee on. ☕️🇨🇦

Building your own site is full of challenges and rewards. Nothing is more rewarding than using it as a POC. That's exactly what I ended up doing. Read this post to find out more. jasonbutterfield.offprint.app/a/3mpcwpij7u... #offprint #author

Morning. Up way too early tinkering with integrations because apparently stability was never an option. Thoughts with Venezuela. Ukraine keeps making Crimea costly for the rat in bear clothing. House stuff waits. The next book shouldn’t. It’s coming. Really. Coffee’s on. Focus is a weapon. ☕️📖

The origin story is already suspicious. A goat allegedly ate some berries, got weird, and accidentally invented my entire personality. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaldi #Coffee

Adding your books to byline.pub is getting easier. We’ve built book import for authors: start with your ISBNs, review the prefilled details, edit what needs fixing, and publish the records from your own AT account. Your books. Your links. Less typing.

Morning. Venezuela is reeling after twin major quakes, and the world feels shaky in more ways than one.👀 Closer to home, our pup is still sick, one huge vet bill later, and no answers yet. Big brown eyes. Worried son. Coffee, steady hands, and Byline updates this weekend. Authors, log in. ☕️📚

Added integration with Bookshop.org. Support purchase links like Bookshop.org. One click can support indie bookstores, indie authors, and the open publishing layer we’re building at Byline.pub.

I’ve been heads-down building Byline.pub on the AT Protocol, and I’m finally at the point where I need real indie authors to try it. Not just “looks nice” feedback. I want to know what would make it actually useful to you.

Hey indie authors. Bluesky account? ✅ Books to sell? ✅ New ATProto site to try? ✅ Go to byline.pub, apply to get verified, then add your ISBN and claim your book. Bob’s your uncle. Indie books. Real authors. Portable records. ☕📚 #Indieauthors #authors

It was a bit painful and this one is a bit more technical but check out my new article, "The importer: WXR, dry-run, idempotency, and why slugs are sacred". #offprint https://jasonbutterfield.offprint.app/a/3moxvq7ltjw23-the-importer-wxr-dry-run-idempotency-and-why-slugs-are-sacred

Morning. Up since the wee hours with one of the dogs, so today’s fuel is spite and coffee. Another technical article coming on converting WP to ATproto. Speaking of converting: if the treasonous separatist crowd wants out, the border works both ways. Pack light. FFS. More coffee. ☕️

This is fantastic! I took advantage of this offer to get me off the fence and signup for @offprint.app. What an awesome way to support the ecosystem!

Morning. Weekend survived, coffee acquired, and byline.pub is out in the world. Open, indie-minded, and ready for tinkering, unlike the Strait of Hormuz, apparently. Kristi Noem showing up around a B.C. mining play was not on my sovereignty bingo card. Ship the work. Side-eye the timeline. ☕️📚

I said I was busy. I’m the dev behind Byline.pub, now live in beta (rough BETA 😉). I've added my books. I’m building it on the AT Protocol because I think indie authors deserve a better public home for their work than scattered links and platform profiles. I’d love your feedback: Byline.pub

Morning. Not a cloud in the sky. Perfect Father’s Day weather. Up early tinkering with the new AT-native app for authors, especially indies. Personal site is done for now, which means I’ll break it again later. Family first today. Happy Father’s Day, if today is one you’re able to celebrate. ☕📖

Lol. 😂 Imagine this: a sixty-pound dog suddenly deciding a chipmunk has breached the perimeter… inside an 8x8 office. It took me a few seconds to process the chaos and figure out what the hell was happening. The chipmunk survived. My office not so much.

Morning. The grass has finally been cut. My sinuses have filed a formal complaint. Next project is moving. Indie authors may want to follow along. 😉 Oh, it's AT protocol based - obviously. You may like it. You may not. But you won’t know unless you’re here. Coffee is on☕📚

Pride Month means Pride cupcakes, loud colours, and supporting our middle one’s fundraising efforts. Part of each purchase goes to Rainbow Railroad, which is already pretty great. But Ry is also raising funds for Lambert House LGBTQ+ Youth Center. Pride, but with frosting. As it should be.

Hey @raffic.bsky.social, not sure if you know it but you are part of @gandersocial.ca’s latest #GooseChase We’d love to see you there and part of the Canadian experience. Use my link to join: gander.social/profile/jgbu...

Morning. Back to the office, regular day, decent air, coffee doing its grim little duty. Moscow’s a little warmer, apparently. Funny how war feels distant until the smoke shows up over your own skyline. One man can stop this. Maybe more Russians will start asking why he won’t. Slava Ukraine. ☕️🇺🇦

I’ve discovered the ultimate Canadian forearm workout: Hold a tray of Timmies out front while doing 100 km/h down a dirt road and don’t spill a drop. Beginner mode: two hands. Advanced mode: one hand. Veteran mode: one hand while drinking the fourth cup. Coffee is training. ☕🇨🇦

Morning. Wet one out there, eesh. We a good dousing. Treaty Nations brought the thunder to Dani, rightly so. G7 kept babysitting the circus. I’m still plugging away at the site, side-eyeing final book edits, and watching the grass prepare its coup. Coffee first. Control what’s in reach. ☕🌧️

Morning. Busy one here. Puppies are off to daycare for a test run, which feels oddly close to sending the kids off for the first time. That was 20 years ago, which seems rude of time. Site beta is nearly done at jasonbu.online (on ATproto). Today’s Stoic lesson: focus on the leash in your hand. ☕🐾

Check out my new article "Why AT Protocol, and Where WordPress Ran Out of Road". #offprint jasonbutterfield.offprint.app/a/3moearnjhd...

Morning. Chilly out, welcome El Niño coffee in hand, and apparently weather reports are partisan now. The circus went on, because of course it did. Meanwhile, I’ve unhinged my site at jasonbu.online. It’s a WIP, so it’ll break honestly, unlike empires pretending all is fine. Follow along.☕️📖

@offprint.app , @aka.dad ... how does one add tags to a publication? Rebuilding my site and want to place articles I publish using offprint into categories. @standard.site has the tags in the lexicon but not sure how they get added in the offprint interface. (p.s. working on getting the pro)

Check out my new article "Thirty Years Online, and I Never Owned the Ground". #offprint https://jasonbutterfield.offprint.app/a/3mobazrgvdi23-thirty-years-online-and-i-never-owned-the-ground

Morning. Good training day yesterday, so the rain has gifted me a guilt-free pass from yard work. Coffee’s on while I plug away at moving my personal site to the AT Protocol. Sovereign data starts at home, with mild technical profanity. New post soon. What’s everyone else doing? ☕🌧️

Congrats to @eurosky.social on their launch of mu.social 🪿❤️🐄 A few unique features to start: editing posts, a news tab with a collection of European sources, and trusted verifiers - details in the thread below.

Morning. Still muggy, apparently the air needed a firmware update. Training this weekend, plus a full rewrite of my personal site. Hard to talk sovereign data while your own site lives like a rented couch. Rebuilding on AT Proto. Prototype’s ready. Behind the scenes? Cool as hell. Coffee’s on. ☕️

My professional data is mine. Sifa allows me to store it in my own PDS, not locked in a billionaire’s system.

Morning. Muggy enough to sip the air. CF-18s over Toronto for FIFA prep. Flew right over my house. Neighbour to the south keeps acting like a bad toddler. FIFA tickets in the U.S. are wobbling too. “Welcome to the world” works better when you don’t act like a fascist theme park. Coffee’s on. ☕️

The Win Was Never Bluesky. It Was the Protocol. The better question is whether we can stop rebuilding the same landlord model with a different logo on the door. Right now, our social graphs are corporate hostage... https://jasonbutterfield.ca/the-win-was-never-bluesky-it-was-the-protocol/

The European Social Stack declaration is a big step in bringing European players together - launched today thanks to the efforts of @michael.eurosky.social and Björn Staschen. Check it out and add join us european.social

I'm linking my keytrace.dev: did:plc:72bim47g3lp4qp5m5wpuio4v

Morning. We made it. Friday. Got a lot done this week, despite the geopolitical circus around us. Separatist rhetoric is not harmless anymore. Foreign interests thrive on division. I wrote about it in Pejorative: Echoes of a Nation (link in bio). Stay vigilant. Stand tall. Stand with Pride. 🇨🇦☕️🏳️‍🌈

Morning. Days of sun and more “51st state” nonsense from the U.S. crowd. 😡 Fine. Let's keep the boycott going. Buy Canadian where you can. Sovereignty is behaviour. Meanwhile Dani keeps inching off the fence and still nothing on the data leak. Rath IS a traitor. Still coding. Still writing. ☕️📖

Morning. Coffee, code, and recaulk the kitchen window because ANTS!!!! Maybe the garage too if ambition survives. Meanwhile PP turned one soft economic (<0.04%) signal into recession theatre while ignoring tariffs and Turnip chaos. Read the data before yelling at clouds. Coffee☕
