It's been brought to my attention that while #BuyNothing groups are pretty useful, they tend to exist mainly on Facebook. It'd be nice to have such a group for #WaterlooRegion here on the fedi as well.
I'd be happy to set one up, but if there's one that already exists, I'd rather use that than start from scratch. Is anyone aware of such a group here?
#KWAwesome #WRAwesome #Kitchener #Waterloo #Cambridge #Guelph
GUELPH, KW, NEARBY: a fedi-friend is looking for some in-person support around negotiating a move in the coming month. Needs muscle but also personal mgmt assistance.
If you are, or know of, a PSW, personal assistant, home organizer type who has sufficient time, spoons to share - please reach out.
I finally got to climb the Pioneer Tower thanks to #DoorsOpen
I feel like I’ve got to do a KW tradition.
A little bit of a lineup for going up Pioneer Tower. #DoorsOpen #kwawesome
This is lovely. Agnes is a rockstar.

Job opening at my employer:
Help Desk / IT Support,
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics
Waterloo, Ontario
Formally: "IT Technology Specialist Level 2"
Perimeter is an awesome place to work and the Tech Services team (that I'm part of) is great. (Don't be daunted by the list of tools & systems we use, nobody would have experience in all that stuff). I'm not on the hiring committee but would be happy to answer general questions.

Any Waterloo folk want to talk about sovereign tech? I think we should do a sovereign tech meetup. This stuff is feeling really important and so I'm starting to think.
Meet the unicyclist who rides a toilet around K-W

Cong Ta is a motorized unicycle enthusiast who has been bringing laughs to people across Waterloo region by riding a toilet with a poop emoji helmet. His peculiar style has been gaining attention on social media, where fans have been posting sightings of the electric toiletmobile from all around the region. He spoke to CBC K-W's Aastha Shetty about his creation.

Does anyone know a good electrician or network cabling company in the #WaterlooRegion with experience working in old houses?
Hoping to find someone local to KW to fish Ethernet through the house when we move.
We're moving back to Waterloo next month 😂, so I've been looking for fedi accounts to follow. Searching for "Waterloo Mastodon" was a surprise though due to a large number of articles about mastodons roaming the area back the the day. 🐘
I've followed @WaterlooEvents , @ourwaterloopark , and @communityedition . Oh, and @cardamomaddict .
Any other interesting ones I should check out?

☝️yay! I have floated this balloon a few times, and finally got traction.
We've got a bonafide Signal group for anybody in the vaguely Guelph-ish area!
This is region-specific not mastondon-specific, btw. So if you know anyone not on fedi that would still be interested, DM me for a link to share. Open to anyone interested in building local community and connections - very #spoonie friendly, btw.
