#Ghost#ActivityPub#Decentralization#OpenWeb: "They say the best way to predict the future is to create it, so two weeks ago we shared our intention to connect Ghost with the ActivityPub Network to bring back the open web. We were delighted when our ideas managed to spread even further and wider than we'd imagined, and that so many of you signed up to be a part of the journey."
"In 2024, for the first time, it finally feels like we have a critical mass of people and platforms who are interested in rewilding the internet to bring back what we lost, and create something new. ... There's a palpable feeling that this just might be the year of the open web."
Astley Abbot's Church contains the remains of a 'maiden garland'. Heart shaped and decorated with cloth and ribbons, It exists in memory of Hannah Phillips. #folklore states she drowned on the eve of her wedding in May 1709. She still haunts the local area in her wedding dress.
Author copies arrived of this bulky anthology of African ghost stories. Now I can say that my story was published in the same book as the legend, Amos Tutuola!
Geeky action du jour: importing #TheRealists blog posts into a #Notion database — so that I can potentially get interesting insights thanks to its new Q&A feature 👩🏻💻
(inspired by @crumbler and his brilliant use of Notion)
I believe Flipboard will prove to be a counterweight to Threads and a prime location for news & pundits (as #Meta does not really desire the latter two on their platforms).
I forgot to #MayTheFourth post the first #selfie i ever took. I'm wearing my brand new #StarWars t-shirt (that's Luke's lightsaber you see). Photo taken with a pinhole camera that came on a box of #CocoaPebbles.
This is also what my #ghost will look like when i come back to do some #haunting

Stupid IRON MAIDEN Plagiarism, Cheap Concert Tickets & Other Top Stories You Might've Missed This Week
Also stories about Slipknot. A lot of them.
With its long-form Articles feature (for Premium+ users), #Twitter is going after not just #Substack, but also blogs. This worries me because it might actually work. This level of centralization won't be healthy, because it actually prevents innovation and experimentation for building better reputation systems. We will be stuck with Twitter's algorithms for a long time.
A lot of action is happening in this space lately. #Meta launched #Threads , #Ghost is going to federate over #ActivityPub , #Mastodon is becoming a US non-profit (with a Twitter co-founder on the board).
An open publishing network - now THAT is exciting!
