Happy #christmas to those who celebrate. Photo of a Christmas star. The ray of light refracting through the clouds on the horizon is a neat effect.

#houserabbits #bunday Willow: one with the hay.

I dumped Windows 10 in February 2025 and moved to #zorinos and wonder why I stuck with #microsoft #windows for so long. Around the same time, after years of using #adblockers, I set up a #pihole with #ubound dns for my whole home network. And after years of being a dedicated #firefox fan, with […]

So, you’d think Doug Ford, chastened by the Greenbelt scandal, would now be contrite. He’d settle down and commit to flying straight. You’d be wrong my friend. And Marit got herself kicked out of the legislature for saying so. #onpoli #maritstiles https://youtu.be/UXK0fmRnOdQ?si=j5l6zSQ20OxpIMjc

🚨 A Canadian company just signed a deal to rush 20 bomb-resistant vehicles to ICE — the same agency committing violent, racist raids, and tearing families apart. Tell PM Carney to block the deal now. 🛑 #cdnpoli #StopTheDeal leadnow.ca/campaigns/no...

Pretty sure given what's going on in the #US, that we can identify more than 7 nations offering a higher quality of life than #america : https://www.aol.com/7-nations-offering-higher-quality-130558742.html

An interesting analysis of Carney-Smith agreement, from @maxfawcett, who sees two big climate crisis wins hidden amongst frustrating choices. I hope this is accurate. https://www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/27/opinion/method-mark-carney-madness #agw #climatecrisis #cdnpoli

#bunday Willow, what are you doing sitting there? She's a bun who loves to be one with her food...

“What began as an effort to identify individual officers has evolved into a far more ambitious accountability tool. Soon, organizers say, every incident will be mapped to who was there, which ICE facility or federal agency they came from, what vehicle they used, who led the team, and how many […]

Hi! Today is my first official day as the Executive Director of Mastodon, replacing @[email protected] as CEO. I joined the Mastodon team more than 5 years ago, mostly working for Mastodon in the evenings on top of a 120% day job. I was the driving force behind the incorporation of the […]

#nasturtiums #bloomscrolling Report for November 8th, 2025: Thelis small batch of nasturtiums are still alive in #ottawa #ontario #canada. 10-20 cm of snow on the way tomorrow, but not as cold as the past few nights. They are now covered. Will they survive this first snowfall?

Every day is #bunday. I had to post this photo because (a) Rabbits and (b) Coconut has learnt how to cross her paws, and she looks so damn #cute! Oh you silly bunnies, but who doesn't like a good snuggle, even if one of you gets sat upon? #houserabbits #rabbitsofmastodon

Another #ClimateChange, #climatecrisis blooming flower, this geranium has fresh flowers blooming on November 6, in #ottawa #ontario #canada. It's been outside since early spring this year. Probably tonight's forecasted - 9°C will do it in, but strange things are going on in the garden this year.

Sheltered against the house, this Nasturtium has survived up to this evening, November 6, in #ottawa #ontario #canada. These are barely autumn plants in my zone. But hey, #ClimateChange isn't a big deal, right????

David Suzuki bluntly notes that the fight against climate change is conducted through politics, economics, and social change - and we have failed. There are no political or economic shifts operating at the scale or speed needed, and in fact with Trump, Putin, Xi, Modi and other like figures […]

#bloomscrolling or #doomscrolling? A spiderwort blooms on October 19th, in #ottawa #ontario #canada where right now the air temperature in my backyard is 28°C. Nothing wrong here, right?

Bill C-2, the so-called “Strong Borders Act,” is a dangerous rollback of Canadian rights. It hands the government sweeping, warrantless surveillance powers, threatens privacy, and bows to U.S. pressure. This isn’t leadership — it’s a betrayal of our freedoms. Speak out now to stop this […]

#bloomscrolling I fear this pretty Nasturtium flower has less than 24 hours left to bask in the sunshine. +1° Celcius tomorrow night. If it makes it through, the next night is -1 Celcius... You can make it, little flower!

Flu season is nearly upon us in Canada. You can help public health workers keep track of the severity by participating in a 2 (or 3) question weekly survey. Literally 20 seconds. Results are grouped by postal code (first 3), and you can answer for your household. #canada […]

Just an interesting side note about the crow who finally left for warmer southern weather yesterday. All summer, I washed out the birdbath daily. Each time, there was always at least one flower in the water. I never thought much of it, since the flowers […] [Original post on mastodon.thirring.org]

This is devastating and infuriating. Even Jerry of Ben and Jerry's is bailing out because of all the Trump harassment. Trump literally is destroying every scoop of our country.

Blue states can choke off red states by stopping equalization payments (shhhh, socialism) to the feds.

#Bunday We call this spa time, or de-fluffing time. Coconut is 90% fluff. Her sister Willow tries to help by grooming her, but sometimes you just need a hooman to get the job done.. Although to be fair during molting season, which I believe is all year long, they're […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

Okay, I want to know if there is any way to geo-block access to this Mastodon instance? Also, I want to know if there's a bat-signal hashtag that reaches Mastodon instance admins (so I can follow it AND use it) Boost please?

For anyone who needs it pointed out: Air Canada was expecting people to be upset about flight disruptions, and they were counting on people to blame the workers.
