Hi, I’m Ceridwen, but people often call me #Idren or Ceri. I’m one of #Canada’s #earlyadopters (since 2019) of the legal #nonbinary #thirdcolumn X of #gendersex.

I live in the #BC #Kootenays area.

ONLY on Mastodon, Gander and Bluesky at the moment.

New owner helps West Kootenay newspaper avoid closure | CBC News As first reported in the Nelson Star, owners Dan Nicholson and Jan McMurray feared the paper would have to close altogether if they didn’t find a buyer, because the pair were eager to retire.

We need more people who will invest in local, independent media like this person did. #Kootenays #bcpoli

CBC, please, you're a news organisation: be accurate.

The EAST Kootenay has the same time zone as Alberta. NOT the Kootenays (West Kootenay is on Pacific time).

Showing a map of the time zone boundary would've been helpful.

Instead of a Christmas single I wrote a Winter Solstice song for my witchy friends and family ❄️

We are gathered in the turning
Where the year bends back to light
Every flame and every yearning
Pulls the sun across the night

From my recent trip home to the #Kootenays

Probably my last time sailing on the MV Balfour across #KootenayLake

71 years old already. Very much due for replacement. Though still doing her job just as well today as she did in 1954 at launch! 🚢🇨🇦

Many memories as a kid travelling on this ferry 🙂
