CIRCLE WITH A DOT

Some really good news.
A new university will be built in Arviat, Nunavut, on the western shores of Hudson’s Bay, by 2030. It will be by and for Inuit peoples and all to learn the culture and language of the North and for people in the North to obtain post-secondary education in their language.

If anyone comes into my mentions with anything along the lines of “the shooter was trans, therefore”…

expect a public excoriation and immediate block.

This is not the place for your gd culture war.

We don't even know the full motivation yet, all we know is this was a deeply troubled young person who did not get what they needed to survive and be a productive member of society.

That is a failure on all of us. This event is our collective failure.

First we support the community and the people directly affected... then we figure out how we could have supported this family in a way that would have prevented this outcome.

#Fediverse note.

I sent off an email to CPAC:

Dear CPAC,

As a public service provided by a cooperative group of media companies, I would like to urge you to create an independent social media presence on the Open Social Web, or otherwise known as the Fediverse.

This is a growing network of social media servers, very similar to how the 'World Wide Web' grew, that are all interconnected and where people are able to exist as part of one social media space (like "Mastodon Canada" mstdn.ca) or their own social media space interconnected with all others as is happening in many European spheres as a matter of digital sovereignty.

I would be happy to answer any questions you might have about this emerging field as a volunteer and as a service. I would be happy to point out places where CPAC could be a member, or how CPAC might create their own space (which is a very low cost, and low maintenance endeavour, similar to a website).

Thank you for your attention and I hope to hear from you soon.”

@chad @crispius isn't this a peertube issue? (ie. it has the ability to duplicate material from multiple sources)

@dementia_compass leftover potatoes and cheesy pasta… admittedly starch heavy lol.

aside: does this man have lips?

he does still appear to have his job though…
