Nice here in the fediverse.
But have you ever been to Ankh-Morpork?
City of a thousand surprises
#GNUPterry #gnuterrypratchett #GNUSirPterry

A yellow sticker in the style of the Baden-Württemberg Nett hier campaign. Text in black says "Nett hier. Aber waren Sie schon mal in Ankh-Morpork? Stadt der tausend Überraschungen" (English translation in the post). Below that the seal of the city of Ankh-Morpork, held by two hippos, crowned by a Morpork owl, with cabbages, money bags, the tower of art and the river Ankh. The banner flowing says Quanti Canicula Ille In Finestra (how much is the doggy in the window)

Yesterday on our bike ride we almost got a sun burn and two weeks ago I was snowshoeing in the mountains! It's wild 😉
Today we have light rain, so I'm not sure if I want to get out for some activity or let it be a true #silentSunday .
Some background and video of the snowshoe-day can be found here:

A serene and untouched winter forest scene unfolds in this image, capturing the quiet beauty of a snow-covered trail. The foreground features a path blanketed in deep, pristine snow, winding its way through a dense forest. The snow's surface is marked by a few footprints, suggesting recent passage and adding a sense of exploration and adventure. The trail is flanked by snow-laden evergreen trees, their branches bending under the weight of the snow, creating a natural tunnel that adds depth and…

Following federal cuts to history-focused organizations, the president of the Canadian Historical Association, Colin Coates, sent this letter to Marc Miller, the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture.
One thing might not be obvious: Coates's reference to Carney's recent Quebec City speech suggests Canadians' need for historical context right now. He doesn't agree with Carney's claims. In fact, most Canadian historians would dispute them.

Letter: Dear Minister Miller, I am writing to you in my capacity as president of the Canadian Historical Association | Société historique du Canada. The members of our association have been distressed to see the recent news about cutbacks in a number of federal government units that are very important to all Canadians who are interested in the history of our country: Library and Archives Canada, the Canadian Museum of History and the Canadian War Museum, Parks Canada, and Statistics Canad…
Letter: While we cannot expect the federal government to address problems at the provincial level, in your role as Minister of Canadian Heritage, we hope that we can count on you to advocate on behalf of all Canadians to maintain and enhance the role of agencies that collect data and records and make them accessible to broad publics. We recognise that the country faces many current challenges, but we do not want short-sighted decisions to have long-lasting effects on the future study of the co…

Me when I meet literally anyone who lives in District 6: Have you considered running for supervisor? Did you know there's still time to file? Can I cover your filing fee?
(This a-hole is running for re-election unopposed when there are parts of the district like Western SoMa that are actually quite progressive)

S.F. supe Matt Dorsey says he’d have deserved being evicted for drug-use, as his legislation now proposes
S.F. supervisor Matt Dorsey says that he feels that, had he used drugs in supportive housing, he should have been evicted to the street.
