Since everyone has a hot take on Bluesky vs Threads vs Mastodon vs Xitter and everyone else, it’s time for me to reheat my long ass post I made about this 10 months ago:

💁🏾‍♂️ On the subject of Connecting Federated Social Media Networks

Again, 何ぜ両方もう出来ないの?

Microblogging tool of the moment: Public.me, a tool the lets you do microblogging with just iMessage. From the same guy that also made a tool to make small websites out of notes.app.

Follow me for examples here: 🌟 starrwulfe.public.me 🐺 starrwulfe.montaigne.io

Now… how can I tie this back to my main blog and microblog…? 🤔

Dog without context.

Great read from Ben Werdmuller: Bluesky, the Fediverse, and the future of [open] social media… werd.io/2024/blue…

Currently reading: Behind the White House Curtain: A Senior Journalist’s Story of Covering the President–And Why It Matters by Steven L. Herman 📚

Thanks again @newsguy.bsky.social / @w7voa@journa.host for signing my copy!

Was supposed to be a memoir, is now a guide to what may come. 🙄

Two men are standing together (J L Gatewood & Steve Herman) in a room, with one holding a book titled "Behind the White House Curtain" by Stephen L. Herman (the guy on the right).

OK. Time to wrangle the dang blog over at starrwulfe.xyz into submission…

Time for another random #Japan #train post…

A train travels on elevated tracks under a partially cloudy sky with power lines and buildings in the distance.

A Hashimoto bound Toei Shinjuku Line subway train through-running on the Keio Tama Line somewhere near Chofu, Tokyo. 🚃🚃🚃

Holy $&£+!! It happened:

One of my more internet savvy older relatives asked me about #fediverse, #indieweb and #bluesky. The fallout from this stupid election is going to be the salvation of open social media platforms.

You bet your sweet chestnuts I’m advocating my @$$ off 🗣️

Question to all the other micro.bloggers out there:

How are you using it?

  • regular blog?
  • cross posting?
  • book tracking?
  • note keeping?
  • photo blogging?

I’m keen to check out some not-so-usual ways as well, so please let me know!

I’m not sure what to think this morning. This is a text from my daughter as she rode the bus to middle school.

😔 I don’t care how good the policies are, I cannot get with someone who is an adjudicated rapist, convicted of 34 felony charges, constantly whines, berates, and belittles anyone he’s at odds with, literally incited a deadly riot in the Capitol, and seemingly wants to strip us for parts and turn what’s left into an autocratic regime. 🤷🏾‍♂️ How am I supposed to explain this to my kids?

A conversation between my daughter and I includes comments about Trump, expressing frustration and a desire to vote, alongside an apology for the situation.&10;&10;Her:&10;People are talking about trump they're saying we are dead.&10;They are saying "I wish I could vote"&10;They are roasting trump&10;They called him dum a&10;&10;Me:&10;I'm sorry you all have to go through this
