I am truly and genuinely so glad you asked! This site is a one-stop shop for reasons why ULINE sucks ass, and a massive link list of handy alternative companies AND a short blacklist of ULINE-alikes to avoid! refuseuline.com

Con-G Will be at Toronto Game Expo 2025 next weekend! Find Dart at 2PM on Sunday for some Music Trivia! And bring your fursuits or partials for the Fursuit meet up at 3:30! Hope to see you there!

I wish more social media had a queue system like Tumblr. Not scheduling where you have to set every time detail. Not 3rd party scheduling. Just a queue of posts you could throw things into (shares, OC, etc) and just say “post from the queue daily” or twice a week or whatever.

MASQUERADE monday! Kon gives so more helpful hints for entering our virtual masquerade. Don't be shy, anyone can enter! #conggeeksathome #cong2026 #cosplay #convention #contest youtu.be/VQ-PSDpaHFc?...

Happening now!

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year? How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

Have you always wanted to compete your costumes or cosplay in a contest but weren't sure how? Let Kon talk you through our Masquerade level system (which is the same system all ICG competitions use - costume.org/wp/%E2%80%8B. Visit con-g.ca/%E2%80%8B for more information.

Happy ReBoot Day!

We keep trying to grow community in soil that has been strip mined and salted by capitalism and then blame ourselves when nothing takes root. You're not a failure, you're fighting a system designed to seperate us. keep fighting. however you can.

Rock Looked Way Cooler Wet

Friends! Who do I know that still does web design (Wordpress) and is within Canada, and has time available for some freelance work for a non-profit?

Moulting season must be starting, as all the magpies in my yard are looking *decidedly* scraggly. They’re not quite at skeksis-levelyet, but they’ll be there soon.

Me for real

I’ve had the theme song to The Smoggies stuck in my head all morning. Please tell me someone else remembers this show. It had an early-90s Captain Planet-style environmental message.

🦇 #HappyBaturday! Once common, Little Brown Myotis in parts of their range, populations have dropped 90–95% due to white-nose syndrome. Bats with WNS have been found in Alberta. Recovery is slow, but bat houses can help! Get free plans & tips here: www.albertabats.ca/bathouses #BatsNeedFriends

Cartoon: Labubu :)

Testing event apps and ticketing systems for the past two weeks. I’m a little burned out on them, but also SO EXCITED to get to use some new tools! 😁

Albertans! Call your MLA! Email them. Leave phone messages. We MUST fight this. #ableg #abpoli #yyc #ymm #yql #yeg

I couldn’t go out and feed the birds as part of my normal morning routine because it was raining and all the birds were still hiding. So I sat in Waiting Mode for 3 hours until it let up enough that they (and I) could go out.

The University of Alberta is searching for a new Dean and Vice-Provost to lead the College of Social Sciences and Humanities. Please share widely! apps.ualberta.ca/careers/post...

I had a great idea. But upon working backwards through a ton of steps required to get there, now I need to go learn Linux.

The Magpie has officially been voted the bird of Edmonton and I'm so happy about it XD #YEG #Edmonton #BirdSky #Magpie #Art #FurryArt #Bird #BirdArt ✨

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

Voted in the advance polls today!

It’s gorgeous out, so I took the plastic off the windows and have opened them all up to air out the house! 😊

Ughhhhhh dang it. My credit card got compromised somehow. Got it cancelled and they’re sending a new one, but boy what a pain in the ass. 😠

This makes me very happy to hear. Also, I kinda get it. I’ve been working at a small, family-run hydroponics store. It’s good. Specialty retail attracts people that really LOVE the thing you’re selling. Most people have been super nice understanding that I don’t know anything about nutrients yet.

Ugh. My "mutuals" feed has become too unwieldy. Some orgs and larger accounts have followed me back, but that makes us mutuals, which clutters up what had been a feed of friends and organic moots. Guess I need to learn to make a feed? Or can a List be the default view when you open the app?

Finally! We’re back at the time we should stay at. #DaylightSavingTime #DSTRules #STDrools

say it with me: Free Palestine.

I’d never heard about snow mold before I moved to #Alberta. It’s just not a thing in Ontario. My life is definitely not richer for knowing it exists. *eyes itch*

I’m trying out Flashes and I posted this there! I’m still not quite sure what the point is as it seems both posts and likes translate from one app to the other (so liking a post there shows up as a liked post here)

Bitmap in a box! #catsofflashes

I'm an Alberta based artist who has a thing for storms & space. I do commissions & have originals & 50 different canvas & paper prints available earthskyart.ca/shop #art #painting

This podcast I’m listening to has an ad for Anju pears. Like the fruit itself. What.

VOTE! Go to the polls, Ontario! Your employer is legally obligated to give you time to get to the polls.

ONTARIO: REMEMBER TO VOTE!!!!!!

Oh no I’ve fallen down a #fediverse rabbit hole

Ugh. Garage door spring is busted. According to the internet, that’s the part that can get DIYers killed so I’m not gonna touch it. Now to find out how much a professional is gonna charge for this 🫣

This was the end result. I’m pretty proud of how my panel went!
