The local Albertan!

Former Flashpoint Archive staff member.

Enjoys local history, open data, Canadian politics, retro video games, and cooking (mmmm, perogies).

I have the following instances blocked. If you are on these instances, it’s often nothing personal:

  • lemmy.world/piefed.world - Way too much American politics and casual transphobia for my liking
  • lemmy.ml - Transphobia from admins as well as denial of human rights abuses

  • Great!

    I get the argument of saying this is a diversion from the actual issue, but even then, sometimes things happen, and even if you’re getting by alright, issues can pop up suddenly.

    Few months ago I was donating to Amnesty International and Save The Children. I’ve stopped since funds are tight, but I remember starting off was really awkward since I was told by one that there would be no immediate donation needed, to which I was later told there would be. Ended up with $150 in NSF fees because I couldn’t cancel that initial donation, followed by the other trying to withdraw funds I would have otherwise had twice.

    I’d have taken being $120 less in the negative any day.
