Chad :mstdn:So now that I'm not sweating over a spicy server, I suppose it's time for an #introduction!
Hi! I'm the instance operator of mstdn.ca. When I'm not panicking over the instance you can find me loving my career in healthcare IT. When I'm not doing that I'm singing with my chamber choir, cycling, skiing, serving on a number of boards and PACs, volunteering, and rarely, sleeping.
I'm an fervent advocate for publicly delivered healthcare, #CovidZero, and healthy communities.
Chad :mstdn:Neat.

Chad :mstdn:I'm so impressed with the #BambuLab H2D. Paired with the AMS2, it just works.
My fiance's cousin is a huge BTS fan and wanted a stand for her... light stick? So I found a model and printed it flawlessly.

Chad :mstdn:@Dianora@ottawa.place @samloonie@mstdn.ca thanks! This is great. Still not replying to them.
Chad :mstdn:@Dianora@ottawa.place @samloonie@mstdn.ca screenshot censoring the impacted community members and federated members participating in the conversation in question. You can tell these folks are farming for bullshit.
Chad :mstdn:Genuine concern about how the CBC is conducting their business, as they're paying for a third party to target people who are rightfully critical of their journalism, where it matters.
We will NOT be taking down this community member's post. There is no unauthorized use of trademark here in this empty threat. Period the end.

Chad :mstdn:Trump is deploying 1000 National Guard to DC today.
This is a coup d'é·tat America has never seen before.
What we knew of America is no longer. Do NOT travel there. Do not do business there.
America is under an authoritarian regime.
