I had a great time at @Flipboard Fediverse House this evening, thanks for having me! Cheers to @npub19n4z...5vr0 and the team, and it was fab to meet @npub1nn0l...qf5k from @npub1psar...j5uh and @npub10arm...7rdv on my panel. The conversations gave me a lot to think about.
Also enjoyed @npub1fdrp...lvhs's talk and appreciated that you stayed for our panel after. Let's break kings. :) #SXSW
Hey everyone, you can see me at @Flipboard House next week at #SXSW. I'll be on a panel on Monday, March 10 around 4pm, talking about my experience with federated social media such as Mastodon, and how myself (and my client @npub1xf8m...0uw6) use social networks.
I'm crossposting my @npub1xf8m...0uw6 stories to my website.

Journalists are actively being censored on Elon's nazi social media site yet publications and journos still gamely post away there like it's a normal site. It's embarrassing for us.
“Things aren’t changing, period,” Club President Sarah Dickerson said. “Whatever this executive order says does not matter. We’re not going to follow those rules…literally make me. Middle finger to the haters.”

How does this protect your immigrant neighbors who are being raided by ICE? Does this rally help a transgender person maintain access to their gender-affirming medications?
Partly inspired by today's 50501 protests, I wrote some thoughts about how and where I think we should be using our energy in 2025: https://www.patreon.com/posts/stop-marching-on-121443258

"When your enemy wants you disoriented, your ability to focus is an important means of self-defense. What matters to you in this moment? Most of us can meaningfully dedicate ourselves to one or two causes, at the most. What can you commit to doing something about?"
