@HaldEmerg @Enbridge Congratulations! The seniors that I support benefit greatly from this! Thanks for all that you do.

We are pleased to announce the acceptance of a grant from Enbridge for $5000, part of Enbridge’s Safe Communities Grant, allowing us to purchase and provide smoke and CO alarms to residents in our community as part of our Smoke and CO Alarm programs! @Enbridge #ENBFuelingFutures

@ElijahBarnsUK I’m not seeing folklore, archaeology, or positivity in general. Lots of conspiracy theorists, anti progress and regressive tweets. This isn’t who I want to engage with.

What happened to Twitter? I used to enjoy tweets from people that I follow, now it's total strangers + a stack of badly designed book ads + other ads I'm not interested in. Where's all the folklore gone? The fairy tales, the witches? I'm afraid Twitter's going down the shitter.

@g0blinegg Happy birthday!

@MadWolfman “Why did you say Martha?”

@TweetsCoffman Possibly 1940’s.

@DickPassmore 😮 Where is that?! And is that an original tile facade?

I'm hitting the road in search of Canadian architecture! Do you know of any wonderful, evocative buildings that I should see & include in my new course? If so, please tweet, DM or e-mail me! carleton.ca/aah/2023/in-se…

@TweetsCoffman 174 Queen Street in Dunnville ON. I’m not sure when they were installed… probably in the 50s?

@historyinmemes Canadian musician John Mann told this story in his song Acoustic Kitty on the album of the same name. youtu.be/w_xz9svUEKo

In the 1960s, the CIA tried to spy on the Kremlin and Russian embassies by turning cats into listening devices. The program, called Acoustic Kitty, involved surgically implanting batteries, microphones and antennae inside cats. Cats are known for their independent nature, making them difficult to train. However, in the 1960s, the CIA attempted the seemingly impossible. Their mission was to extract classified information from the Soviet Union using listening devices. But these bugs picked up too much background noise, rendering the recordings useless. In a desperate move, the CIA's scientists came up with Project Acoustic Kitty. They implanted an audio transmitter into a cat, hoping it could inconspicuously gather information during secret meetings. Despite initial success, training the cat proved challenging. Ultimately, hunger undermined its reliability. The CIA tried to suppress the cat's instinct to seek food but faced setbacks. Acoustic Kitty's final mission ended tragically, and the details remain unclear. Nevertheless, this peculiar endeavor reflects the extremes pursued during the Cold War era.

It’s a beautiful morning at Passmore’s Diner in downtown Dunnville! Come out for some breakfast!

@LauraBabcock Ours were ripped down, stolen, defaced… and replaced within hours each time. Some new flags were donated by community members. Ours has now flown untouched for two continuous years.

Whoever keeps stealing our Pride flag: It doesn't matter how many times you steal our Pride flag and leave our Canada flag flying. We will continue to buy more 🏳️‍🌈 flags and fly them proudly with our 🇨🇦 flag. You can't silence or intimidate us. #Pride2023 #Canada

@fp_905 Take a day for yourself. If you can go out, treat yourself with something small. Ice cream or a favourite snack. Sit under a tree for a while. You’ve got this.

I’m mentally not in a good place today

@hellohistoria I dropped a package of ear plugs at work, bent down and picked them up. As I straightened up, I cut my head open on the corner of the safety equipment shelf.

Got my right foot wedged under a gravestone. My ankle hasn't been the same since.

@PCOS1945 See you there!

The Port Colborne Operatic Society is proud to announce that we are bringing Broadway home to Port Colborne yet again! Our next musical production in February/March 2024 will be 'SOMETHING ROTTEN'! Join us for cast auditions in September 2023 portcolborneoperaticsociety.com

@fp_905 I’ve been with them since they started in Canada and have no complaints. Great customer service (even though they are owned by Bell).

Anyone use Virgin Mobile? Are there any positive or negatives to be aware of? Looking into switching to save money.

A Tim Hortons restaurant in Dunnville, Ont., has once again sold the most amount of Smile Cookies in Canada for the sixth year in a row. chch.com/dunnville-tim-…

How was my morning? I’ve summed it up for you in one pic taken on my morning walk.

@MadWolfman We have a cecropia moth in the front garden.

@PQWCHC Thanks for all that you do!

Our Harm Reduction Program lowers the chances of someone experiencing an overdose and removes the stigma of drug use. Don't forget to check our program calendar for days that supervised consumption services are available: pqwchc.org/calendar/

@talk2kimhuffman Thank you for working to include all members of your community! Those who complain need to understand the reasons behind this. If they make everyone feel equal, respected and welcome, there will be less need for awareness campaigns. Love wins!

Please don't email me to tell me not to fly the Pride flag! #PrideMonth #LoveIsLove 🌈🫂
