  • Now I spend my time on #bluesky https://mguy.ca/bsky and https://mguy.ca/masto #mastodon rather than #Facebook I have found making a “list” of my friends helps keep in touch with my not just world events or interests but the people in my life too.

  • Flying our flag for the 60th Canadian Flag day #TrueNorthStrongAndFree #Canada #No51st

  • For obvious reasons I am thinking about a #degoogle of my life. Anyone found any really good resources of websites or guides? Back 20 years I ran my own mail server but I understand it is now almost impossible to get your email delivered if you do that.

    I don’t mind separating #email #calendar and #CloudStorage if necessary. Outside U.S. obviously. 🇨🇦 #indieweb

  • I was reminded by my photo backups that one year ago today, the first of a series of vehicles decided to enter the ditch on the side of our little lane. #NSStorm #OneYearAgo

    Twisty lane with partial snow covering and a silver sedan car at a strange angle off the side of the road (in a ditch).

  • Last week was not a fun week to drive on #NovaScotia roads! Started the week coming across a multi-car accident on the highway. The rest of the week was driving on snowy slippery roads, digging out, and generally looking out the window wondering how I would get to or from work. I hope next week is better! #NSWeather #NSStorm

  • Was there not just an election? Did they run on more mining, drilling and fracking? Why are they attacking anyone who cares about the environment? Why won’t they do interviews? #NSpoli #Environment

  • I think the first time I came across The Ballad of Lucy Jordan was in the 1991 movie Thelma and Louise.
