Hey #indieweb #openweb #webstandards folks, I'm writing a piece for @fumacapt on why RSS matters and why it's cool.

Can you share your personal perspective, resources you go back to, clients for different platforms?

That would be ace.

It's going to be out next week, and it's in Portuguese.

We finished #btconf last night talking about the discoverability of personal websites with @sophie and @nickautomatic.

It turns out it's hard to be read, even if you have captivating and original content.

Reply to this post with your personal url and I'll link you on my website, https://fredrocha.net. Bonus points if you have an RSS feed link.

Let's start a @btconf webring!

“Curators and aggregators are integral to the ecosystem. If we all create, steal, and regurgitate the same content then we only reinforce our own echo chamber. Aggregators bridge subcultures in a world of content bubbles and subreddits. […] They find beauty in the mundane and surface wisdom from obscure writings. That is valuable, worth more than gold.”

I love it when I think of a cool feature for an app and then discover the app already implemented it.

This is Sam Harris' Walking Up. I wish not to be disturbed while I meditate.

(Such a pretentious sounding sentence, ah ah!)

If inspiration = motivation (as Thomas Thwaites said at #BTConf, paraphrased), then what's your go-to source when you feel you lack the drive?

Could be a podcast, book, personal website...

Gardening: Moving grass, soil, and other stuff around from place to place, until someone comes to collect your green bin.

Repeatedly.

Until you die.

And nature wins.

Nature always wins...

“‘I think we should ask ourselves: why don't clothing brands have their own factories?’ She asks the question, then answers it. 'Brands don't want to be responsible for the people who produce their clothes. All brands benefit from that, including Patagonia.”

“Honeybees are not in decline; they are probably the most numerous bee on the planet,” says Andrew Whitehouse from insect conservation charity Buglife. While the UN’s Food and Agricultural Organization reports there are more than 90m honeybee hives globally, many rarer native pollinators are in increasingly precarious positions.

We need to talk about this gambling epidemic that is happening with sports today, especially football, in which an advanced betting machine is pulsating in your pocket, while ads for getting you back on the drug abound all around you.

This is seen as a cool, fun thing today. But it won't be in 2-5 years time.

The forest is changing faster than Janzen, Hallwachs, and other researchers can document. There’s not much to do about it except to stop climate change and deforestation, they say, and keep on with their work of restoring the landscape.

"Nakba and Shoah, the Hebrew word for Holocaust, mean the same thing: catastrophe. I reject the premise that one people’s salvation must come at another’s destruction. I am committed to creating a world where this does not happen — and this cannot be done from within the Biden administration.”
