After a year+ of procrastinating, I've finally put together @nukit.bsky.social's Tempest air purifier, inspired by the fact I'm desperately trying to avoid my partner's COVID. 😭
Anyway, it's sleek as hell and runs so, so quiet. I particularly like the handles built into the top panel.

N... not to sound dismissive, but I really think both Canadians and Americans severely overestimate how much the rest of the world cares or notices?
I don't think most of Europe even remembers Canada exists most of the time, tbh, let alone pays attention to the flag. Sorry.

I’m hearing from many residents who are concerned about the City of Ottawa’s direction that all staff must work in the office five days each week.
Like you, I was surprised to learn about this directive.

The coprolite (fossilized dung) Lumbricaria (PRI76858). Comedian is H. sapiens. Maybe PRI's new storage could be the "John Oliver Coprolitastic Shed"? 🧪 #fossil

What a cowardly response by the school. I'm not particularly hopeful that OCDSB will do the right thing, but I wrote to the principal and a couple of other OCDSB administrators, and I hope other people do the same. Bright young students should not be punished for shining a light on atrocities.
After Elizabeth Yao's valedictorian speech last Thursday - in which she discussed the children killed in the war in Gaza - her principal called and told her not to come back to school on Monday.

Their sole mission is to increase abortion access but their funding is not being renewed and that's under the current Liberal government!

Did you know that today is the anniversary of abortion being decriminalized in Canada? That only happened because a Holocaust survivor grew up to be a doctor and insisted on performing safe abortions even though it was illegal.
Just, you know.. somethin' to think about right now for no reason!

My Bread and Roses-adjacent story: I do config/troubleshooting for library software. "Bread and roses" is my go-to test OPAC search, because the first page of results has: 1) a book we own in print, 2) a book we own as an e-resource, and 3) a book we don't own but can get through interlibrary loan

Somebody yelled at me for posting about Ganymede instead of /the state of things/ last night.
I know we’re (almost) all on the same page here, but a Bluesky without cute cats, science facts, and dumb jokes would be bad for everyone.

The reason A.I. is being shoved down our throats is shareholders want a return on their investment. Every company that integrates this crappy tech into their products knows you don't want it, but they've sunk too much money into it and don't care. Turn it off, don't use it, don't look back.
