Reflecting today

Today I’ve been thinking a lot about my relatives who actively fought against nationalism as part of the resistance. What they and their colleagues did in the name of inclusion and opportunity.

That's the name of the game: a world where everyone has the same opportunity to live a good life, regardless of their race, religion, or background, with an equal, democratic say in how their country is run, and the freedom to live their life without threats of violence. If we’re not striving for that, what's the point of anything?

Jenny Lawson:

Thank you for shining in a world that sometimes appears dark. It may seem such a small ember, but it glows like a lighthouse in the world, reminding us that we are so very far from being alone.

Speaking of voting and podcasts, I love that Lex Friedman does a daily short podcast. Here’s today’s episode. This is exactly what we had in mind when we first added podcast hosting to Micro.blog.

Freedom, freedom, I can’t move
Freedom, cut me loose
Freedom, freedom, where are you?
‘Cause I need freedom, too
I break chains all by myself
Won’t let my freedom rot in hell
Hey, I’ma keep running
‘Cause a winner don’t quit on themselves.

Thanks everyone who has supported Micro.blog, whether you tried it only briefly, or stuck with it for years, or came back again later to rediscover it. As the United States votes today, still no politics in Discover this week, except this one thing: go vote! 🇺🇸

Feeling a bit reflective on this election day morning. 8 years ago, I had already been working on Micro.blog, but the presidential election results pushed me to get my act together so I could hit the ground running at the beginning of the new year. January 2nd, launched the Kickstarter.

lists.opml.org: The other day I asked a famous blogger who uses RSS if he would be willing to share his list of feeds, so others could subscribe to them. He declined, for good reason, there was private stuff in the list he couldn't share. I certainly understand that. Then I ...

Tomorrow if you are an American, and haven't voted yet and are thinking of sitting it out -- get off your butt and get out there and do your civic duty. We need great turnout this year, record-setting turnout, as a show of love for our country and our Constitution. Vote now, because later you might not have any power to change direction. Tomorrow, you do have power. And remember that voting is not you expressing yourself, it's not free speech, it's you and I governing. This is our moment of greatest power. Use it or lose it.

Rebooting the news

My opinion: At this point it doesn’t matter what the NYT says. Either way they jumped the shark for the last time in this election. After the election if we still have freedom of speech, we should reboot news around the simple idea of news written by experts. They must know ...

Myth and magic

I read Madeline Miller’s Circe last year. I loved it. It was my favourite fiction book I read that year. Reading Circe kicked off a bit of a reading spree for me. I sought out other retellings of Greek myths. There’s no shortage of good books out there from Pat Barker, Nata...
