Save money and your mind with this one weird trick that all corporations hate!
Are you ready?
When the #BlackFriday sales start overwhelming you, when your email is full of auto generated messages urging to purchase the latest products, take a deep breath.
And say "No".
Give the 🖕🏽 to mandatory consumerism and the capitalist class.
Go for a walk, eat something nice, hang out with a friend. Or do nothing.
The main thing is #BuyNothing on #BuyNothingDay.
You'll feel great!
Heads up, right-wing trolls seem to be launching a "report all the leftists as spam accounts to get them suspended from twitter" campaign.
If you're on the list (screenshots downthread), it's a good time to change your username or go private.

Here's a little 🪗 jig called Tripping Upstairs!
It's a tricky one to play, especially standing up, I made a fair few mistakes but hopefully it still sounds nice xD
Dear artists,
lately, a lot of people ask me what style I'm drawing / what I call my style. Those people are looking for prompts to feed into generators.
A good friend was very helpful, linking me the perfect term to tell them.
Tell them your style is called "gråtrunka". 👍

Warning for antifascists on birdsite
Over on #birdsite, @efjbgc reports that #fascists are circulating a massive list of accounts which support #antifascism. They are using this to mass report people.
It's recommended that you change your #Twitter handle, lockdown and probably be prepared to lose your birdsite account. But also, you should be considering whether you want to stay in the first place.

Ah shit I spent all this time trying to understand ActivityPub between last night and this morning and it turns out one of the co-authors of the spec actually wrote a really helpful guide and put it in the spec itself! https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#Overview
I wish I knew this before I started. Would have saved me a bunch of time.
If you'd like to learn about ActivityPub, I genuinely recommend the above link! 💜
