Ontario expat in Atlantic Canada. One of those weird cuspers who's neither genX nor millenial but is also both. Bikes, birds, dogs, cats, gardening, the ocean. Not to be taken too seriously.
Boosts always ok on public toots.

I wish I was kidding: I looked down after posting the photo and the owl was gone. Turns out I just moved it and then forgot immediately.
Aging stops being all that fun once you hit 40.

On the agenda this evening: contains and letters to various city councils about active transportation and badly planned infrastructure projects. #mastobikes #civics

An outtake from yesterday, here's Roxy licking a concrete blue jay sculpture.
We bought this concrete blue jay years ago to go with a bird bath we don't have any more. The concrete place later flew a "thin blue line" flag outside their shop, so we won't be adding to our concrete bird collection.

We've recently decided to let Roxy out for supervised outings on our walled-in patio. Today was the first really nice day. I have so many photos of her enjoying and exploring the space.
Roxy is 19 years old and has been an indoor cat her whole life. She's also notoriously difficult to photograph when she's not sleeping.

Hi cycling people :) I installed and maintain a free bicycle repair station on a cycle lane near were we live (rural Denmark).
Am always interested in what cycling service infrastructure is available elsewhere, so if you have something: share it here! :-)
Old photo of Nigel on one of our Island adventures. I think this was Panmure Island.

Pointless waste of your time
You know how pirates call people "scurvy dogs"?
But here's the thing: dogs can't get scurvy. Since dogs evolved as carnivores, they produce their own vitamin C rather than getting it from the environment (like us fruit eating primates do).
It turns out stereotypical pirate slang (itself based on a single 1950s Disney movie rather than real life) isn't the best source for diagnosing veterinary ailments!?!

about the current harassment wave, boost for awareness
the harassment instances such as poast, nicecrew, etc are currently going through the introductions hashtag to try and find any queer people they can find to harass, as well as spamming it with their own shit.
a lot of the harassment replies /untag/ the original poster so they might not realize those are replies are there but other people looking at the post will see them.
please defederate from any such instances to keep your users safe, they're very nasty.
