#kwawesome — Public Fediverse posts

Hey g'mornin' #kwawesome #kitchener and #waterloo.

Anyone up for an impromptu meet-up? I am going to be at Smile Tiger in about half an hour, as I offered an "urban wellbeing walk" session for the Reimagine Festival.

No one has officially accepted the invite, but that's how un-conferences be. At worst, today is a kind of day for me, and I'm taking myself out for coffee & brunch if no one else is there.

Smile Tiger Coffee, off the GO/VIA platform, I have blue hair and a blue-green hat.

Mike Morrice from #KitCen is one of the two candidates running for the leadership of the Green Party of Canada.

Kitchener Ontario Canada 8K | Breathtaking Cinematic Drone Tour 2026

This is delightfully cheeseball. Some dubious voiceover, strange choices of driving routes and ridiculous music, but there are some nice drone shots. And I don't get downtown nearly as much as I used to, so it's nice to see what's changed.

Holy cow. #waterlooregion #kwawesome please be careful and stay home if you can today.

ALL schools, primary through postsecondary are closed, and I've seen some people grousing about that and "it's not that bad".

Well, two vehicles this morning have launched right off the 7/8 flyover onto King St. below. 1 fatality, one serious injury.

Hey there #kwawesome #knitters, just confirmed that 🧶 Sock School x2 🧦 is a go for this week/month!

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?

I finally got to climb the Pioneer Tower thanks to #DoorsOpen

I feel like I’ve got to do a KW tradition.

#Kitchener #kwawesome

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
https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/9.6868995

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?
