Richard W. Woodley 🇨🇦🌹🚴♂️The customary introduction post, pinned for now.
I moved here from mstdn.ca partly as a result of the controversy there but also because ottawa.place is where I would have been if I knew about it when I first came to Mastodon.
I also have a blog ( http://the5thc.blogspot.com/ ) and a GPS maps site ( https://gpstrailmaps.blogspot.com/ ) and a youtube channel which is mostly slideshows of my photos ( https://www.youtube.com/@richardwwoodley/videos ).
My bio here reads: Retired Parliamentary Indexer. Socialist, political observer and sometime activist with HBA in Political Science, Laurentian University, 1973. Outdoorsperson, environmentalist, cyclist and former mountain biker. Amateur photographer and mapmaker.

And I see I have already taken advantage of the over 500 character limit.
THE FIFTH COLUMN
"This column is dedicated to the proposition that Canada (and indeed the world) is in a crisis situation and that fundamental social change is required to remedy this situation." - The First Column, Lambda November 2, 1971 This blog is inspired by my column of the same name in the Laurentian University Newspaper, Lambda, from 1971-1973. The title refers to the concept of subverting the system from within. To read key excerpts from those columns read the first few posts in this blog.
