Where are the Albertans on mastodon? Where’s the #yeg gang? Any handles that folks reccomend?

Every couple days I do a check to see who's migrating over to mastodon using debirdify. Up until this week, it was mostly AI people who were making the move. Interestingly, it seems like the migration has broken out into the "chronically online but not a techbro" community.

Hey Swaroop! Nice to see ex-tweeps here :-) I was a tern on the magicrecs team back in 2020.

Sorry for your loss <\3

I met some of my Canadian neighbors on a walk through golden gate park. Seems like I’m not the only one escaping the winter in sunny California.

I feel like I am the god of improvised baking. Did you know that the mysterious empty jam jar in your AirBNB kitchen cupboard is exactly a cup? Did you know that ikea glasses make excellent cookie-cutters?

I'm away interning in SF for three months: too short a time to really get build up the comforts of home. Life can be kind-of spartan without them, so I try to make small changes. Maybe get a tea-pot, maybe do some baking. This time I made and froze 55 scones.

Me and my new twitter friends going for ice cream at Salt & Straw after work.

The ice cream at Salt & Straw is described as some of the best in North America. That may be true, but it still doesn't hold a candle to the perfection of Mary's Milk Bar.

I wander the earth in search for an equally revelatory scoop.

I'm going to go to Homebrew website club next week.

I need to pick a favourite twitter handle for my intern directory page: an unexpectedly overwhelming decision.

Things that would make my #twitter experience much better: if most of my interactions weren't with bots who want follow-backs. #indieweb
