@ben @jonhicks Is this like a social plugin that you can add to your blog or website to share to the fediverse? If yes, is there an FAQ for adding to a wordpress site?

Mt. Everest is laden with waste left by climbers — Nepal's Department of Tourism estimates that there are nearly 140,000 tons. Now, some of that material is finding its way to Tharu craftswomen who combine discarded ropes with moonj, a traditionally harvested wild grass, to make boxes and mats. NPR's Tanka Dhakal explains more about how the program works, and how its organizers hope it will grow.

It stars Aria Mia Loberti as Marie-Laure, a blind amateur radio presenter in occupied France during World War II, and @MarkRuffalo.

"...the future of social media is looking more like a network of platforms that offer people a customized experience. The ideal system would not only allow you to migrate to new social apps without losing your network or profile but also link them together so that you could post on one and a friend could comment on it from another." -- @mike
