#WordCamp #Canada is happening in #Ottawa later this year at Carleton University. We are looking for speakers on the fediverse and the future of #WordPress and #opensource! Got any ideas, people to recommend? Let us know tight here or through our site: https://canada.wordcamp.org/2025/calls/
Just got a payment I've been waiting for..
So.. I had 2 months overdue on AWS and 4 months overdue on google and i paid them all + an extra 2.5 months for google and the total was $445.65 CAD
FML hahahaha..... Why does owning a small business have to be so expensive.
BTW if you need video/pics/droneshots/editing/recording/mastering please hit me up ❤ ❤ ❤
Remember when jeans were made out of long lasting cloth and lasted for years ?
I'd be on board with Canada becoming part of the EU so we could have clothes that lasted!

My #introductions post:
Hi, I'm Cassie! I live in #Ottawa, the capital of Canada, but am originally from #Vancouver BC.
I'm interested in many things but mostly post about #cycling (#biketooter ?) and #ottbike, #ottpoli (Ottawa municipal politics) and my many many hobbies, including listening to #indiemusic, #vinyl, #sewing, #knitting, #ceramics, #watercolor, and whatever my current fixation is.
I have (late diagnosed) #ADHD and am learning to manage (and thrive with) it.
Should post a short #introduction with the move from mastodon.social to ottawa.place.
Hi! Same bike adventures and disappointment in our politicians.
Living in #ottawa and having fun.
I'm looking for an apartment in #Ottawa and I would like to ask the community for help.
I'm an excellent tenant. I've never missed a rent payment. I’m quite quiet, except I do on occasion like to sing.
My absolutely ideal setup would be:
- in Centretown / Little Italy / Hintonburg (within walking distance of many friends),
- tenant control over HVAC (including a/c, because I overheat),
- dishwasher and microwave and space for more kitchen appliances (so I can cook and share),
- two bedrooms (so I can host people on occasion, e.g. if there is a power outage elsewhere).
If we're getting crazy fanciful, I would love to have access to a tiny garden and space for a solar battery.
The reason I'm asking the community for help is because I'm having a lot of trouble with corporate landlords. Many of them, experienced tenants advise against. Some landlords say they have available units but refuse to answer phone calls or emails. Some may be perfectly nice but my life circumstances don't fit within their corporate forms and therefore I'm out of luck. (This is a recurring #ActuallyAutistic experience.)
I would love to find a long-term rental from someone who appreciates a reliable if somewhat unusual tenant.
I suppose this is the time to mention that we make #cider in the #ottawa area- https://coronationhall.com ... And I need to update the hours on that site.
I moved from another server so I will be re-following folks slowly!

Time for a re- #Introduction, as I've moved from scholar.social to ottawa.place!
I'm a botanist with AAFC, living and working in Ottawa, Canada. My work involves the diversity and distribution of wild plants, particularly wild berries and invasive species.
I'm also a photographer, coder, maker, hiker. I'm liable to toot about any of this, but probably mostly about #ottawa, #rstats, #botany and #photography, not necessarily in that order.

How hard would it be to design a website where workers could start calculating (aggregating ?) the costs of this absolute horseshit new in-office policy?
E.g.: bus / car costs, time costs (hourly wage), environmental costs, additional child care costs, dry cleaning / makeup costs, other…?
I came in the great Xitter Migration of Nov 2022. I post cat and food pics without CWs.
Professionally, I’m interested in data analysis, #Labour law, #IndigenousRights law, and #Disability justice.
Personally, I’m interested in #Biking, #Landback, #Degrowth, #Greenbelt, #Anabaptism, #Quilts, #VisibleMending, #ZeroWaste, #Ottawa.
Veuillez excusez les fautes.
New instance, new #introduction!
I'm a woman in my 30s. I was born in #Québec City, I moved to #Vancouver for my first real job as a #translator and, a few years ago, I moved to #Ottawa with my husband so we could afford a house.
I mostly write in English, but don't hesitate to toot at me in #français!
I've worked in multiple fields... my favourite were my years with Library and Archives #Canada, which I absolutely loved. I now work in #agriculture.
I love #videogames, mostly #FFXIV right now. I have an #ebike. I love #books and #cooking. I miss #travel.
I'm very much pro (vaccine, science, choice, mask, etc.).
Come say hi 👋
My four-month-late #Introduction :
Work: #WordPress #hosting & #Security, #music #festival #IT, #Editor / #Filmmaker, #SmallBusiness
Life: #horror movies, music, #camping, curious and loves to learn, social justice, and to my surprise, a #runner who has #run 15,477 KM Jan 2020 - Dec 2022.
If you stop and look at something the more closely you examine it, the more amazing it becomes.
