Because looking at pretty things is a great tonic, please allow me to recommend Vogue's gallery of last night's Met Gala outfits https://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/gallery/met-gala-2022-red-carpet-arrivals-fashion

A friend of mine tweeted this morning “In the not too distant future, I will wake up in Stockholm to learn the Supreme Court has nullified my (gay) marriage.”

I've thought about this scene from The Handmaid's Tale quite often since it aired, while watching the renewed expansion of fascism through the Global North: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFpm5MsWdG0

My thoughts today are with all my friends living through that expansion in the US.

I do not know who needs to hear this, but PSA: if you have a WordPress blog, you can install this extension to add ActivityPub support to your blog. It makes it possible to have people follow your blog via ActivityPub services such as Mastodon, receive new posts and interact with it.

Ever wondered why some stories get very little coverage in the UK?

For new people wondering why Mastodon is on thousands of servers instead of one:

-It helps protect us all against Elon Musk scenarios. It's very difficult for anyone to buy a network made of thousands of independently owned servers. (It's the same reason why no one owns the world's email network, because there are so many independent providers out there.)

-If your server misbehaves (or sells out to a malevolent billionaire), you can move your account to a different server, or even to a brand new server. Decentralisation means you're never trapped on a site you hate.

-Mastodon is an open platform where anyone can start their own server, and they don't need tech knowledge if they use a service like https://masto.host or https://federation.spacebear.ee

...and there are lots more good reasons too, to do with servers using alternative Fediverse software etc, but I'll save that for a future post 😁
