Pro-tip: If you head to Oh Doughnuts after 3 you stand a good shot at getting a 2 for 1 deal. #Winnipeg. You MUST tip if this happens.
And OMG their doughnuts are otherworldly.

Resisting the urge to live toot the #GreyCup game to a bunch of people on Mastodon who don't know me very well.
Toot #324.
Bombers QB has the football in his hand, he holds ... holds.
Now the release!

I'm still getting my feet on mastodon, and I suspect I'm going to remain a twitter person. But my suggestion for other people dipping their feet into Mastodon as a new tool is to fill out your profile. If I'm, and I think other think this way too, deciding whether to follow someone I want to know a little about them. #Winnipeg #WinnipegBeach #Envhist

Me as twitter is crashing: Hello Mastodon, my name is Dale Barbour ...
#Winnipeg #historodon (and maybe #cycling guy, cause let's reclaim that identity on a new platform.)

Self promotion and archival promotion. If you're looking to do a #Winnipeg project check out the oral history records held at the Manitoba #Archives. Great material recorded in the 1980s and early 1990s.
Here's a post on #WinnipegBeach:

I don't want to alarm anyone but ice is moving by on the #Assiniboine River in #Winnipeg. I think we may be on the edge of some sort of seasonal shift.

I'm a bit skeptical about mastodon, but here I am with post number 1. I'm a #historian in #Winnipeg. I study #beaches, marginal spaces, riparian environments, and social and cultural history more broadly.
