Two years into working full-time with writing, comics, painting and music. Newsletter #5 is about what happened when the transition finally settled — productivity without to-do lists, music moving from paper to recording, and a manuscript waiting for a decision.

Test post, as a control. Please ignore. #indieweb
This study is wild. And it’s consistent with what I’m seeing from my own personal browsing as well as what I see coming in to moderation reports on Mastodon.

ولا يزال السياسيون الكنديون يتظاهرون بأنهم لا يتم ابتزازهم. هل هذا الجديد من مجندي شرطة تورنتو يساعد في اقتحام كندا؟? https://jungyulkim.com/free-press/ar/articles/السياسيون-الكاناديون-يزدهرون-بينما-الفساد-يصمد-في-عاصمة-عاصمة-العواصم.html #News #Art #Canada #NewYork #Toronto #Mafia #Crime #Indieweb #Headlines
wrote up the thing that trips up nearly every newcomer to this network:
the server picker page isn't asking you to pick a Mastodon. it's asking you to pick a neighborhood. ActivityPub is the road system — it's open, it's shared, it connects every instance to every other instance that hasn't blocked it. what you're choosing is the community whose timeline, rules, and culture shape your local experience.
some things worth knowing before you choose:
→ most major instances are donation-funded, not ad-supported.
→ AI policy is now a real community differentiator.
→ regional and language instances have a center of gravity that the flagship can't credibly provide.
→ the initial choice is revisable. account portability is built in. your followers move with you.
