Really interested to see what happens with the Aardwolf project: https://aardwolf.social/ . I think there's a need for a "Facebook-like" ActivityPub implementation.
Some stuff Aardwolf could do that Mastodon doesn't (and probably shouldn't!):
- events, invitations
- group-level privacy controls
- (other stuff people get out of FB? not sure)

RE[POST FROM ACCURSED BIRDSITE: unless something bad happens i'll have a new Crossed Wires update out before Ready Player One The Motion Picture Movie That Really Exists comes out, which like, hey, if you think RPO will most likely mad suck, please consider my webcomic as an alternative http://crossedwires.irisjay.net
it's about queer hackers uncovering a corporate conspiracy, set in an alternate version of the internet where VR was developed back in the early '80s.
Mỹ Lai Massacre
Today, in Yemen, hundreds of civilians are dying every day from starvation, preventable disease, and bombs, the victims of a war that would be absolutely impossible to wage without the weapons and technical support given to Saudi Arabia by the US and UK.
The only remorse the US military has for Mỹ Lai is that it got caught. It is committing more of them every single day.

lab politics: advice please re: WoC / minorities in low ranked positions dealing with someone taking credit for your work
I'm seriously asking for advice, anyone that has dealt with this kind of shit please give me some pointers. (see above in thread).
I'm really worried my boss would not see what I see because: white male in position of power who has known the dude for years, and me for months.
But it's real and I NEED to figure out what to do before it becomes a dissertation-affecting issue.
