#shoutout — Public Fediverse posts

A shout-out to the #Cornell #Lab of #Ornithology (https://www.birds.cornell.edu/home/) for meaningfully enhancing my experience of being outside and noticing birds, especially #eBird (https://ebird.org/) and Merlin Bird ID (https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/).

I started using their resources a few weeks ago because I wanted to support my daughter's interest in birds. At first, it was a bit of a slog to go through the effort of identifying the birds I was seeing and hearing, but now I've started being able to recognize a few birds by sound and appearance without having to check and it's a really wonderful experience — the world seems suddenly to have become much more lively and all that has changed is that I've started noticing some of the birds around me.

Two examples from this morning:

- Walking to a place to run an errand, I heard two Eurasian jays making a racket. I'd never knowingly seen them in that street before. It was quite exciting to recognize them by sound and then see them so close.
- Then, on the way back from that errand in the same street, there was a (to me large-seeming, probably at least a dozen) cloud of tits moving together in a sort of flying leapfrog fashion from tree to tree in the same direction I was walking. It was a little bit like being part of the group. The group was composed mostly Eurasian blue tits, but there were also at least a couple of long-tailed tits (which Merlin helped me to identify by sound (and my first conscious encounter with the species)) in the group. It was joyful to see how lively they were and listen to them chatter to each other as I walked.

And all of this is without any specialized equipment, not even binoculars. Just my own senses and memory, plus my smartphone for the identification help and checklist tracking if I'm in the mood & have the capacity.

I'm reminded of this #quote :

"Learning platform #ShoutOut, designed to teach #students how to recognize and respond to #Holocaust denial and #antisemitism on #socialmedia, has officially launched in #Germany, the University of #DuisburgEssen (UDE) announced.

The new digital program was presented at the Conference on #Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (#ClaimsConference) in #Berlin on June 26.

ShoutOut mainly offers a 15-minute immersive virtual game in which players roleplay as trainees in a resistance movement and learn how to identify and deconstruct #antisemitic patterns and content, while being educated on how it spreads online."

Shout out to Sophie G (SilverGlass), who makes lovely handcrafted TTRPG art in a variety of styles.

This year she's been painting ALL the classic fantasy RPG spells from D&D and Pathfinder, and has already made more than a hundred artworks for the project! I really like their symbolic, dreamlike look.

I hope you'll check out her Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/c/SilverGlass/

#Shoutout to @MusiqueNow comrade too. Thank you for having my back & putting up a rad old INXS tune for me ✌️

#ShoutOut to both @DoomsdaysCW & @Geri for having my back, solidly. Both of these #comrades not only reported & blocked someone who abused/slandered me here but went over & above to create their own solidarity posts. I appreciate the solid support. I appreciate that I can trust you both to have & also to watch my back here. I appreciate the support while low on spoons. Neither of you treated me like cops would treat a rape victim - you both believed me, from the start. I will always remember that fact. I will also remember folks who treated me like cops treat rape victims.

#Shoutout to Lucas - @moshidon developer for amazing & prompt responses to my emails for assistance, after I reinstalled the app. He helped me find the #AltText filter again - which I find extremely useful!

This is what it looks like when folks post without AltText - the post doesn't load unless I choose to load it 👍

#ShoutOut to #Canadian bigot - [email protected] - for helping to boost my awareness post about residential schools abuses/murders that he is OK publicly denying ✌️ Thanks, wankerbutternoodle, for your public racism 💩

I want to take some time here to give a big #ShoutOut to @municipaladhesives & am suggesting that you follow them, if you're also into supporting #grassroots small biz & anarchists who are trying to share their work to the world.
They're sending me a small package of stencils that I'll be using to do local awareness activist actions with.

Thank you, #MunicipalAdhesives crew of few but hella mighty-minded folks ❤️👊❤️

I want to take a moment to recognize mas.to, and their whole admin/mod team. I know it's a big decision to move away from open registration, and one that took a lot of discussion, but your response to the situation has been nothing short of stellar.

So thank you. Thank you for making Fedi a safer place for everyone, and thank you especially for focusing on your existing communities. I hope they know how much work y'all put in to keep things running as smoothly as they do.

Cheers 💕

#Shoutout geh raus an alle KI-begeisterten polnisch Sprechenden:

#Shoutout geht raus an #Bürgermeister Lars Keitel von den @hochtaunus

In Friedrichsdorf sorgt eine neue #Feuerwehrsatzung für Diskussionen: Alle Amtsbezeichnungen sind nun in weiblicher Form gehalten. Der Bürgermeister setzt damit einen Beschluss zur geschlechterneutralen Sprache um, allerdings nicht ganz im Sinne der #CDU. 😁 🤣

@gerichteSH @olgkarlsruhe Herzlichen Dank für den #Shoutout! Wir dachten einfach: so ein starkes Social Media Team im echten Norden verdient ein Pendant im warmen Süden.

Und das Tolle daran ist: wir sind keine Konkurrenz zueinander, sondern verstärken die Sichtbarkeit des #Rechtsstaats.

Welcome to Thursday! Today's Birthday #ShoutOut goes out to my wife, my best friend, and partner for life, @AlternativeAsh. You put up with a lot, and I don't know how you do it, but somehow you manage to deal with me! 🎂 🤣 🎈🎉🎶 👏 💕

“This Day in Hockey History – January 7th”

So many historical events happened in "The National" on January 7th, I can not possibly mention all of them. Of course, as almost everyday he took the ice, “The Great One" made his mark known on this day, twice.  Go figure.  The Flyers and Kings made the list twice as well.

1928 – The Habs Howie Morenz notched his 100th career goal to begin his hat trick in a 9-1 victory over the Maple Leafs.

1933 – According to one source, the first nation wide hockey broadcast was aired by the CBC (radio) on this day.  The Detroit Red Wings beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-1.  Nineteen years later, the first airing of the iconic “Hockey Night in Canada” took place on October 11th, 1952. This was my Saturday night delight as a kid in the early 70s, while I anxiously awaited the end of the “Tommy Hunter Show" for the puck to drop.

1968 – “The Golden Jet", Bobby Hull scored twice against the Boston Bruins’ Gerry Cheevers, making him only the fourth player in league history to achieve 400 career goals. Chicago defeated Esposito and the Bruins by a score of 4-2.  He was dubbed “The Golden Jet" in a 1966 article because of his blonde hair and “lightning” speed.  The name had nothing to do with his time as a member of the WHL's  Winnipeg Jets. Did you see what I did there Jet’s fans. Chirp chirp.

1976 – In the LA Kings’ 5-2 win over the KC Scouts on January 7th, Bob Nevin achieved the 700 career points milestone in what would be his final NHL season.  He won the 1962 and ’63 Stanley Cup Championship with the Leafs in his 1128 game career, in which he also played for the NY Rangers and Minnesota North Stars.  The Kansas City Scouts moved to briefly become the Colorado Rockies, coached by Don Cherry in 1979-80.  They are now the New Jersey Devils.

1979 – My man and first goaltender idol, Bernie Parent achieved his 54th career shutout on January 7th in a 3-0 blanking of the LA Kings.  It would prove to be the last career shutout in this, his final season. This 1984 Hall of Fame inductee won two Vezina Trophies and a Con Smythe as MVP for his efforts in the Philadelphia Flyers’ back to back Cup conquests.  I was removed from the ice as a kid goaltenders because I wore my handpainted Bernie mask complete with Flyer logos on each side, just like Parent’s.  After dawning a cage mask, I was allowed to return to mind the net.

1980 – The longest undefeated streak in the history of North American sports, met it’s demise on January 7th against the Minnesota North Stars, as they ended the Flyers 35 game run without a loss. Bill Barber’s opening goal would be the only for Philly as MN scored seven unanswered.  One source only, cited the final score as 9-2. Sorry Hockey Writers but, the final was 7-1.   I guess there goes my chances of ever getting an article published with that great hockey news source.

1981 – Wayne Gretzky had two goals on two assists in a 6-3 victory over Washington to reach 200 points in just his 117th NHL game.

1984 – Gretzky had his 25th career hat trick and seventh of the season, also capturing his 5th consecutive 50-goal season in the Oliers 5-3 win against the Hartford Whalers.

1987 – Beloved St. Louis Blue, Bernie Federko was the first player in franchise history to score 300 career goals on January 7th versus the Hartford Whalers. 

1999 – In his second stint as a King, Luc Robitaille was the 27th NHL player in the history of the game to score 500 carrer goals. His two goals on this day helped LA to defeat the Buffalo Sabres 4-2.

2002 - No hockey piece would be complete without mentioning the three time, twice consecutive Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning. Defenseman, Dan Boyle was acquired by the Bolts for Tampa’s 2003, 5th round draft pick.  He helped the team win their first Cup before spending several years on the blue line for the San Jose Sharks.

2004 - Anyone that has ever partolled the paint at any level of the game,  would be remiss not to mention Brian Boucher amazing underdog achievement.  This backup and once third stringer, would snatch his fouth consecutive shutout on January 7th, 2004 in service to the Arizona Coyotes. This short lived tie of Bill Durnan's 1949 accomplishment would be eclipsed by Boucher two days later, when set a new record gathering in his fifth consecutive shutout win. That record still stands.

That’s what happened on this day in hockey history, January 7th, in the greatest game on the planet.
