I'm excited to share my #apconf2020 talk, "Decentralized Social Media vs the Trolls."

In it, I tell how the #Fediverse, a #decentralized social network, rallied together to isolate an invasive right wing extremist group through codes of conduct, human moderators, and strong moderation tools.

Thanks to @ashfurrow, @emi, @maffsie, @catgirl@lgbtqia.is, @laurelai and all the folks who gave me their time and perspective.

Terrastories is an #opensource #map-based #storytelling tool: https://youtu.be/ggGPV8nN95Y

I made a tutorial for StoryCorps, an app to guide people through preparing for, conducting, and sharing oral interviews: https://youtu.be/OD_YK1Dac38

I have to admit, StoryCorps has a fantastic pitch.

I could play half a game!

I'm just so pleased. I started cutting two years ago feeling certain that the squares would be all wonky. And they aren't; they're perfect. Huzzah for good equipment.

Did a redesign of the board, now that I'm pretty sure I can cut joints.

It looks like I need to generate another 16 or so squares. Luckily I have spare wood, and now I have the equipment!

After two years, I finally obtained my own saw and have been able to start up again on the #diy #chessboard box. Excited to dive back into this project (see above thread for details).

"Wild Seed" by #OctaviaButler was amazing. I inhaled it in two days.

Some revisions to the weather monitor by the closet. I've removed some superfluous content and added a forecast for tomorrow so my partner can plan her outfit.

Some graphical changes: I added new icons for snow and fog, and reduced the thickness of borders. Approaching the point where I'll post the code and the build.
