Three days ago I posted about my return to blogging. Today I have returned to Micro.blog in a substantial way; I’m back on my hosted blog and more than that, this blog is now in fact my website. I do not currently have my domain name – that’ll happen later, since the tight budget continues to exist – but this is now my personal full site on the web. I’ll talk more about this soon but for now, here are the changes:
I’m looking forward to posting some more about what’s happening here within the context of Micro.blog in general. Despite not having access to regular posting, I have very much been reading and seeing the continued progress of Micro.blog and, uh, latest events in the Closed Web.
It’s good to be back. ✌️

That includes external support for IndieAuth. Nice work, @manton. 👌

Dr. Debbie Reese covered the meeting where the change was agreed upon and made.

Between yet another white woman attempting to use the police as a weapon against POC – in this case an 8 year old girl – and the Boston school system dodging questions over providing a deportation pipeline, it’s been another banner headline kind of a day.
That’s how long parts of the most powerful country on the planet can go without water.
That awesome new T. Rex on your iPhone could be a total lie.
Instagram didn’t just release ‘IGTV’, they also updated the layout of their website; it looks more like a website now, a blog even which is certainly one way to differentiate itself.
However I would also say it now looks a little more like Facebook.
YouTube without ads? I will take that offer, please and thank you.
