Hi new followers. I'm some guy from Ottawa who likes hockey, F&SF, podcasts, unions, TTRPGs, not living under authoritarian or fascist governments, videogames, his family, movies, having his friends feel like they can thrive as their own selves, and comic books.
Please order that list as you like.

I believe in Rook's Basilisk - you must help birds through the winter, because when corvids finally rise up against us they will remember everything.

This is so wonderful. I have been involved in refugee sponsorship for over a decade, creating networks of chosen family for newcomers to Ottawa. And as a queer person, chosen family is an anchor of our community. Cheers to these “chosen grandmas.”

And that's why I advocated for these. Because these would tell you at a glance if something's wrong. Alerts can be published right to the ground level. They can also coordinate emergency response and a whole bunch of other good things.
But they've turned at least this one off... I don't know why.
