I'd see 20 bunnies at a time in my backyard (planted with clover). This year a new coyote family has moved in and the bunny population has gone back down.

In KW, not the GTA, but as someone who backs onto a wild water-management area, I've definitely seen a boom in bunnies. In our case, we had in the late 2010s so saw bunnies rarely. That colony seemed to move out in 2023 and we started to see more bunnies. Last year we had a population explosion.

I've been to Whalen Corners, does that count?

YouTube video by CNN Watch Trudeau speak directly to Trump during blistering speech

You can’t overstate the historic importance of today’s speech to both American and Canadian citizens by Canada’s Prime Minister.

Please watch it and share it wherever you live, but especially if you’re in the United States. You need to know what Trump is doing, and why. youtu.be/wz_42pckM7w

YouTube video by CBC News Trudeau: Canada will retaliate with 25% tariffs on $155B of U.S. goods

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Does he promise?

At the same time, they have the option to cancel just the rural routes.

The other factor is that cancellation of buses is a three-party decision (both school boards and the Student Transportation org) while the decision about school closures is made by the school boards independently.

My kid and I decided together on Monday that they would stay home from their magnet program high school for exactly this reason. Today they succumbed to the lure of test prep.

Waterloo Region does have the complexity of the urban/rural divide... On a blowing snow day, rural roads can be wicked.

And since 2020 our friends in the offensive world have a new favourite holiday season....

So Happy Ruin An Incident Responder's Christmas to all who celebrate!

Duty of loyalty is one of the fiduciary duties a board member (of any board) carries. That's all I'm going to say right now.

Truthfully, that latter part isn't likely to change much until I'm no longer on a board for a non-profit that I don't want to expose to retaliation.

I got so used to not posting at the other place after the takeover that my sharing-my-thoughts muscles are very rusty.

While that was the final nail, my post count started going down after I stopped posting about school board issues.

What does the aurora REALLY look like?
(megathread)

This is a perennial question that seems to get brought up constantly in forums online, and after the big geomagnetic storms last month, I kept seeing false information about what the aurora "really looks like..."

"Vote for me so I can spend the next year scolding you about how terrible you are for the things that I do" was a hell of a sales pitch from the Cin-ster.

A brief thread on alt-text.

Alt text is descriptive text that conveys the meaning of an image. It's designed to make visual content accessible to people with vision disabilities. When a person uses assistive technology such as a screen reader, the screen reader will read the onscreen text aloud 1/7

That kind of radical change would make Fergus lose its collective mind. Cc: @chrisklein.bsky.social

Fun medieval fact! The term 'Reply Guy' actually takes its name from Guy de Réplaille, a 12th-century abbot known for his prolific but inconsequential letters to multiple noblewomen

Yay! So glad you made it!

I added you via a starter pack, though not sure which one. Possible that starter pack just isn't getting a lot of traction?

A round, light brown tablet made of clay with three lines of cuneiform scripts. Two rulings, or traced straight lines, enclose the writing. The photo also shows the sides of the tablet, including a few damaged parts.

May as well dive right in.

Did you know that dogs in ancient Mesopotamia also refused to drop the ball?

According to a Sumerian proverb, “The dog understands ‘Take it!’ It does not understand ‘Put it down!’”

This post has made me so happy to have made the leap over to bluesky.

Accessibility Settings Alt text Require alt text before posting (toggled ON)

Folks please don’t forget to ALT your images! The more new folks show up here the lower the adoption of ALT is and that’s a bummer cause it means not all Bluesky users can enjoy your images!

Here’s how to turn on prompts to remind you to ALT:
