#GhostCMS has got to be working on an iOS app, right? Adding #ActivityPub doesn’t make sense to me otherwise. The social feeds and discoverability in the Wordpress and Substack apps are what set them apart and make them enjoyable to use. PWAs don’t cut it in this sphere.

Did the thing. Focused on being decent. Stepped away when I needed to. Walked. Maintained my fast.

My eldest uncle went to a protest today in my hometown of Saginaw, Michigan and sent this to me. Might be the best thing I’ve ever seen. Gives me hope.

Finished S3 of White Lotus. Sort of hilarious how it satirizes the Western pursuit of enlightenment through luxury wellness experiences, but hell if I couldn’t use a vacation like that.
