THE YORK FACTORY EXPRESS, BLOGPOST:
In 1846, as he was crossing the plains with the incoming York Factory Express to Fort #Vancouver #WA, artist Paul Kane witnessed a Buffalo Hunt -- a First Nations buffalo hunt in fact. Here is the story: #HistoricJourney https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/paul-kane-3/

Twitter: I follow news and political giants, but all I see are bad people and arguments
Bluesky: I follow 10% of my old friends who were able to get out of twitter in time and sometimes it works
Threads: I follow my friends but I can’t see them through the algorithm of businesses
Mastodon: oh look a beekeeper in the Netherlands

The Zuck suck is in full swing. In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like "headphone status" and "screen density."

EDIT for clarity: The 200+ attempts *may* have been overcounted as DDG hadn't tooled their VPN for Threads yet.

At 9 pm we secured our boats for the night & cooked our Supplies on a raft... . #HistoricJourney #AmWritingHistory #Books
“You, boy, what social media website am I posting from?”
This is probably the best thing I ever posted on Twitter. The memory is pretty dear to me; I'm sharing it here so it still exists somewhere if that place collapses.
