Seaford is either home to a bloody big spider, or a portal. I'm hoping it's some kind of space-time warp, because I vaguely remember surveying it next month. #OpenStreetMap

As you know, I love animals. That's why I built #Pawfed: https://pawfed.org/
It is fully built on #ActivityPub and lets people share messages with #OpenStreetMap to help our animal friends: https://pawfed.org/how-it-works
I clearly cannot make it work on my own, and it hurts a bit to fail when everything is already done. If you want to join the project to promote it and validate messages, you are welcome.

I stopped using #Google and any other #bigtech products a long, long time ago (2015-ish? maybe earlier). It's time for everyone else to move away too, and this includes #Apple, Microslop (#Microsoft), #Meta, #Amazon and many others.
ONLY use #openSource products:
- use #linux
- use degoogled Android ROMs like @GrapheneOS, and many others for any Android phone
- use @fdroidorg as your store
- use #OpenStreetMap clients (like @organicmaps)
- music: @powerampache

Recently I learned about TouchMapper: Create tactile maps easily for any address.
They use #OpenStreetMap to create printable 3D models of an area, for people with no/bad vision to literally get a feel for the place.
I love the initiative!
