Travis from 🇨🇦 he/him/his

I've been in to almost everything at some point thanks to my ADHD - from woodworking to digital art to archery to rock climbing to cooking.

I like to read Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Urban Fantasy, and follow many writers, but haven't gotten the urge to actually write myself.

Union Strong. Strong feelings about human rights and the bigots who hate them.

Over a decade sober.

Doing foundational work for several small business I hope to begin operating starting in 2026

Happy birthday to me!

This was my first scheduled toot, set on Nov 19, 2022. Playing with new (to me) features is fun!

Most are great, they send the money to the food bank.

This makes me angry - Sobeys and associated brands force food banks to spend money donated at their tills at their stores.

Sobeys restricts food bank donation spending to its stores, defends policy

While chains like Save-on-Foods, Walmart and Whole Foods give donated money directly to food banks to use how they best see fit, CityNews has learned Sobeys puts restrictions on the cash its customers donate, requiring food banks to buy through its channels.

On the birdsite it was very easy to use a quote to trigger a dog pile - and it was often used with that effect if not that intention.

I personally liked them overall but I'm a cis-het white male over 40 - pretty much as privileged as I can get without being wealthy - so I don't get piled on easily and shrug it off if I do.

That is not the reality of a lot of people.

That is a part of why it is odd, definitely. That and having to apply it to virtually everything is crazy.

It's also a relative latecomer to Twitter, but now it is hard to imagine it not being available.

I've got mixed feelings on adding the function here.

Hey #techhub,

I have updated the https://hub.techhub.social page, we are now fully financed (donations > costs) at current costs #finance.
I have removed the #donation link, for now, but as costs rise I will eventually put it back.
Techhub is not a business and I do not want to make money out of it. Everyone involved is doing it on a #volunteer basis.

That brings me to the second update on the page, I have added a "Help wanted" section. We need moderators (focusing on diversity), a webmaster and a graphic artist. I added a google form to submit your application.
#helpwanted

This post will also be linked in the announcements.

Thank you,

Techhub.social

I think they forget 80s kids are millennials - we learned to drive in standards!
