#EngageWR is holding a Great Places contest where residents of Kitchener can vote for some of the really neat buildings / initiatives (like the Kitchener Art Walk!) in the city. There were details about some buildings in there that I had no idea about. If you live in the region, take a moment to vote - there's a chance to win $50 in Downtown Dollars. Not to mention telling the city what you value.

Really enjoying that #WaterlooRegion is actively looking to consider people with #disabilities and the #gender and #age aspects of cycling.

One of the albums I'm getting today is the latest release from S.O.A.P. -- saw them perform at the Mel Brown festival in #Kitchener earlier this year and I'm eager to hear more! #DTKLove #BandCamp

Some of you may have noticed that I was sprouting wings out of the side of my head... so I was long overdue for a trim. Here's the new look, courtesy of Marlowe General in downtown #Kitchener! #DTKLove #WaterlooRegion

Hey #kitchener #waterloo, give the community edition a follow! #localnews #Introduction https://mstdn.ca/@communityedition/110867174193485209

So there's a "Tree of the Year" contest being held in my region, but I'm not super familiar with any of the trees nominated.

Methinks I see a road trip (possibly on a bike?) in my near future...

Anyone else experience their EasyGo autoload card suddenly going dormant?

I've corrected this issue online several times now in the past few months and it keeps switching off, and I have no idea why.

Today @Jkdellow and I participated in the CAFKA Alleycat -- a sort of scavenger hunt on bikes where you visit art installations around Kitchener Waterloo.

It was a lot of fun! Big thanks to the organizers.

Also, it was a little funny to see that one of the artists was Joel Becker.

"Hey, I wonder if he's the son of my first-year CS professor."

Spoiler: yes. His artistic style has evolved over the last 20 years.

So, things are bad, I need an extraction. I will not survive a summer in this attic apartment with the levels of smoke and heat this summer is gonna produce.

I am basically looking for someone to "foster" me for a few months (deets in thread) in either the #easternOntario or #guelph areas. A kind of hippie room & board situation. Access to healthy food, and loving human contact.

Are you interested in #community and #gardening and you're located in #KW - specifically downtown #Kitchener ?

We have a couple open spots still at ComeUnity Roots Garden, and we're open to everyone regardless of age, experience, or ability - this is a place to learn and grow (lol) with a community model - we have a few individual plots, but most of the garden is full of shared beds.

Come join us! The honeyberries are ripe in our food forest already ;)

#CommunityGarden @waterlooregion

I've got a gig playing some jazz at #Kitchener city hall this Friday at noon! Come check it out if you like!
