MastodonOn This Day In History (@onthisday@mastodon.social)Today in 1993, 32 years ago: An IRA bomb devastates the Bishopsgate area of London. #OnThisDay

It took MUCH longer than I'd hoped, but finally, the #Canadian government sorted my official #papers and I now have a #CertificateOfCitizenship, dated back to my birthday in 1979.

I am, and always have been, a #canuck.

TLDR. I got my official notice back in early March, but they misspelled my last name, and so it's taken us nearly six weeks to get the darned thing switched to my actual name.

You wouldn't believe the relief, especially since my birth country (UK) has become the United Kingdom of TERFs, and my other country of citizenship (US) is equally unhappy about my existence.

Triple Citizenship is a blessing, but also a curse.

I've just reviewed Csaba Szabo's ''Unreliable: Bias, Fraud, and the Reproducibility Crisis in Biomedical Research'.

It's a tour-de-force through how most biomedicine research results are impossible to reproduce, how the field is corrupted by fraud, and what some real scientists are doing to counter all of this.

I've checked out @bluebuild tonight, and I find it really, really cool. I'm now running a system with:

- The official* set of #GNOME Core apps installed by default, most of them as Flatpaks from #Flathub
- * #Showtime and #Papers instead of their old counterparts, and #Decibels
- The full GNOME wallpaper collection supplanting Fedora's branded ones
- No Firefox RPM
- No Fedora Flatpak repository

Anyone else using the image would in theory get the same experience out of the box. Pretty neat!

"I took much pains in sorting and folding of papers."

I agree so very very much, Sam. The folding part is often overlooked. A paper that is being put to use must be folded. It's a mark of recognition and appropriation. The unfolded paper is alien, the folded paper is trusted.

[The truth, I'm not sarky.]
