I have recuperated enough to not be exhausted after sitting at the computer for a while.

In celebration, have a winter bunny sketch from 2018.

If you've never had to pay much attention to how other people treat you online (and I hate to generalise, but I'm going to guess that - if that's the case - you may be able-bodied white CIS man with certain immigration status) then maybe you don't have much insight into all the hidden labour that others have to do to minimise exposure to unsafe behaviours.

And there is, let me tell you, a *lot* of hidden labour.

The people in the neighborhood wanted a bridge over the creek. The city had no funding for #PedestrianInfrastructure for something like that. But they did get an #art grant, so they hired an artist to create an art installation that would span the creek that people could walk on.

This is a long shot but if anyone is in #Birmingham this Saturday, come to my dance party

"ENERGY FLOW is a transference and intermingling party of shared deep grooves and en-tranced acid bass. Between bodies – between djs and dancers. Playing a late night drawl – a lateral drawl – a late night libidinal drawl of deep, house n disco cuts, acid trance and bass."

☞ today November 30 is the 15th Blue Beanie Day, an annual international celebration and support of Web standards.

Many thanks to all who help to develop standards, and promote the open web, and thanks to @zeldman for starting it in 2007!

Listen to what our Founder and Web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee said when asked what part of the W3C’s work he’s the most proud of:

Club Q in Colorado Springs is running a gofundme for staff and community members responding to the mass shooting hate crime which killed 5 and injured 18... It needs much more attention, only 27 people so far have donated a total of less than $2000! https://www.gofundme.com/f/official-club-q-fundraiser

Really looking forward to attending #Informed next week, especially the just-added talk between Yoel Roth and Kara Swisher.

Anyone else going? I'll be there from the perspective of protecting whistleblowers and sources.

Update on my Mastodon client adventures (https://macaw.social/@yoyoel/109376999311188245):

Metatext on iOS was by far the most recommended, and is quite good. Highly configurable, and rock-solid.

Things I’m still hoping for in future clients:
- Notification aggregation (like the Twitter like/RT facepile)
- Better reply threading and context in the home timeline
- Delightful interface touches. I’m spoiled by @tapbots; their apps aren’t just functional, they bring joy

If you want to understand trust and safety challenges, the interview of recently departed Twitter trust & safety boss @yoyoel by Kara Swisher today at #informed was really good and informative.

A friend of mine is getting laid off. If anyone has openings for it ops/devops that I can pass along, please let me know! #hiring #jobstodon
