I’m an elderly lefty, living in South West England who’s looking for a nice place in the fediverse where I can share/ learn/ politely disagree etc with others & (occasionally) vent my frustrations & concerns about the parlous state of the world that my grandkids are growing up in! When I’m not “doom scrolling” I enjoy gardening, bird watching, bread baking & being the best granddad I can be.

“Of all of Israel’s crimes committed against the Palestinians, the mass rape of Palestinian detainees seems to be the one Israel most desperately wants hidden from the public”

Just a guy (he/him). Interested in stuff. MEd research in #BirthCertificates; PhD (in progress) looking at #DigitalPersonhood. Prior research: Everything you've wanted to know about #Alberta #BirthCertificates (without having to do your own research!), The Question Concerning Identification: A Tetradic Analysis of the Alberta Birth Certificate: https://era.library.ualberta.ca/items/830081ab-cfd9-42e7-ab86-8defdeead847/view/de054e6f-b8e3-43b0-82a0-52bedb6de3cf/Buterman_Jan_L_201703_MEd.pdf #ID #VitalStats #CivilRegistration #HumanRights Also: #trans #ActuallyDisabled #typewriters #brailler

I've talked about some of this on Mastodon before, such as creating #coroplast and #blackout material #WindowBlocks to prevent the heat from our long 53°N summer days getting into my unit (circa 2021) or adding thermal window film to reduce heat even more (circa 2025) without simultaneously creating a dark and depressing #bunker-effect for the entire summer.
Doing all of this required various materials, time and of course, money. While all these (and other) mitigations were experiemented with and created/installed over several years, which spread out the up-front cost, the irony is not lost on me that these approaches have culmulatively cost as much as as least two in-window #AirConditoners would. 🙄

A continual wanderer, flâneur with camera in hand (though I do get out of the city), looking for those moments that make me pause, and want to share them. I love to tell stories with my photos, so my captions get quite fanciful.
