so far the weekend has been pretty good. currently: writing about labor stuff, also reading this book. it has been a pretty mild and wet spring so far which is rare for here, and i'm enjoying that while it lasts

If there's one good thing about established social media sites making bad moves, it's that the decentralized, donation-supported model seems to be trying to take their places. Honestly, why I hadn't heard of doing it this way earlier is beyond me. Perhaps it needed Patreon to normalize donation models outside of NPR circles.

I think it's a kind of global learning curve, people need to experience it a few times how the free corporate sites turn against them. Maybe we'll all learn to appreciate less polished but community owned spaces in the end :)
