I ended up not using this for my #zine but I still wanted to share.

Now I understand why there's not many photos of #wildlife at night. You need *very* expensive lenses to get decent reach and light...

Still, I think this feels kinda magical.

Success looks different for everyone. In this case, Django -> transitioned to dev -> financial stability to have children, when before she hadn't thought it was financially possible.

@kissane makes the extremely important point that in agreeing to federate with Facebook you're also letting them externalize the costs and effects of their moderation failures directly into your communities.

Q: Why is Donald Trump suddenly selling $60 bibles?

A: It enables churches to funnel money to him without violating the (US law) ban on political campaigning by churches—it's a form of money laundering, in other words.

It's always awkward for me to talk about sports with American people. After I shock them by telling I don't watch any of the sports they probably want to talk about (yes, even football, either kind) I shock them further by listing sports I'm a fan of: snooker, formula E, and now sumo, apparently. This usually ends the conversation. Which I'm fine with, but I can see it really feels awkward for my mostly extroverted interlocutors.

If Apple and the rest change their behaviour before the end of the investigative period, odds are they’ll only get a slap on the wrist
