I did some really basic searching and it looks like something like Yunohost might have some ActivityPub modules, and it does have some blogging modules that might work. I have not used this, so I can't say how good or bad it is, but it seemed to have potential.
Well I should be finishing The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu but honestly western magical realism just isn't doing it for me. It's August's small book club read so I'll get back to it.
In the meantime I've been re-reading Last Exit by Max Gladstone because Ruthanna Emrys and Anne Pillsworth are starting a re-read discussion and I'm reminded that it was awesome and that I felt like there was a lot I was missing when I read it the first time, so just refreshing my memory to be able to keep up with the discussion.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time.. to die.

I don't think you're alone on the Southern Reach books by Vandermeer. I did read them, but holy moly it was a slog towards the end. It's a trippy slow psychological descent. Without any concrete aspects for the reader to hang their hat on, it's exceedingly difficult (for me at least) to get a picture of what's going on, what's really happening. I think they're well written, but they are not really my thing.
I'll see what I can do when I get an opportunity. I installed it and tried it, but since I didn't have time to really dig in, I uninstalled it after the first sanity pass failed. This was Firefox 115.02 (64-bit) Windows 10.
That's basically why I picked this one up. Her characterizations are great honestly. And the world is unfurling, but the longer certain topics are kept murky (who ARE these antagonists??), the more I think the payoff had better be good.
I hate how the Star Wars fans respond to PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING. I was the biggest Star Wars geek as a kid; it was THE thing I collected and played with extensively. As many characters as I could get, ships. Made my own stuff. Generally freaking appalled at everyone's behavior since then.
Seems like mainly tree damage in Lenexa (around 95th and Lackman). I personally did not have much, if any, but doing the daily walk with the dog there are a lot of trees in the neighborhood that have major sections having broken down. We did not lose power.
Fantasy -- My mental jury is still out on this one. Characters are likeable, but the world is still quite murky which makes certain motivations and behaviors hard to parse.
Nighttime reading: The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu by Tom Lin
??? -- Haven't gotten far enough in it to even know. It's a period piece in mid 19th century. Maybe magical realism?
