Just saw Freecycle.org data breach 😿 Prompts to change passwords.

I've used it in Calgary to re-home second-hand , perfectly usable stuff. I buy books but don't keep hem. Freecycle helped me find a funnel of folks who wanted them.

I see #StJohns #Newfoundland on there, but no posts. Anyone in #yyt know what other site/service is used to connect folks to exchange free things?

I post this knowing few NLers on the fediverse. If you know some folks living there, boost it to them? Thanks. 🌞

On #Saturday, I was able to visit #stjohns #episcopal #church in #oakdale #suffolkcounty #NewYork. The churchyard was locked, but I was able to snap a few pictures over the #wroughtiron fence. #longisland has many of these charming #historic churches—some are in disrepair, but this one appears to be active. #tombtuesday #history #histodons

Why can't I rent a car for 4 days in St. John's, Newfoundland for less than TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS??? Yes, that's **$1200**. Are there not enough rental cars there? Is the supply that scarce? I really don't understand.
