You probably needed a lot of finesse to use this tool well. If you rotate it too quickly, you risk pages flipping in the generated wind.
You might want a way to mark your place on a page, similar to the idea of a scrollbar in a browser.
You also have the contemporary issue of opening too many books (tabs) to have enough time to read them.
Standing could become tiring and sitting might require careful positioning to avoid hitting yourself.
It looks as though it was a controlled descent. The arms are tucked in to reduce its upper body width. The leg hangs on long enough to ensure going through head first. The second picture might even be a kick to really force the orientation of travel.
If you are a creature who is falling through a hole, maybe going head first is a pretty good tactic. Once you get to the bottom, you can crawl forward, possibly burrowing along the ground under the fabric as you crawl.
The alternative of your rear end facing down and your body folded in on itself could have meant getting stuck. Ingenious creature.
1] As you say, it is helpful to have an account for initiating (creating) a petition.
https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Home/AboutContent?guide=PIElectronicGuide “Note: A petitioner may only have one e-petition open for signature in their name at any one time.”
If Fediverse users are willing to collaborate together on creating petitions, we will need at least one registered user per petition.
2] It can also be helpful to have an account to support a petition.
“When you draft your petition, you will be prompted to identify at least five potential supporters (Canadian residents or citizens), but no more than ten, and provide their emails.”
3] Regarding your point about logging in not helping with signing a petition, I agree with you it would be expected and helpful to be able to more easily sign a petition after logging in.
Maybe you found a bug. Maybe it is a cookies issue. Maybe it was not designed the way we might expect. Let me contact them to see what they have to say and at a minimum raise a feature request with them to make it work the way we might expect.
4] Regardless, “The House of Commons’ authorized personnel will have access to the personal information of a petitioner, supporter and signatory, and may use it to contact them or to validate their identity to ensure the integrity of the e-petition process.”
Because of uncertainty in how the validation process is conducted, it may be helpful for people to sign up for accounts over time, leaving sufficient time for validation.
Because of the issue for 3], the most compelling reasons at this time are to be prepared to help with 1] and 2].
