Also super thrilled to see a session on making Fedi more supportive of sex workers, sex and kink.

Hoping to catch the notes on these awesome sessions.

Really thrilled to see a session on making Fedi welcoming and safe for POC at #fediforum , along with a bunch of other wonderful sessions proposed for today.

Very annoyed that I can't make 95% of today's FediForum though...!

Dog owners of the Fediverse; any recommendations for a small, ethical business in the UK to buy a snuffle mat and snuggle blanket from?

These are from Ruffle Snuffle and the dogs love them but they've pivoted to very English flag style marketing and products […]

Two small dogs snuffling for food in a snuffle mat; a rectangular object made of bits of different coloured material that food has been hidden in. A pillow case style blanket with a sleeping fox design in the outside and grey soft fluffy fleece inside.

I have a secret! It's my QPR's birthday today and he is kinda weird about it but I think it would be super awesome for him to have the magical experience of people being lovely to him on his birthday.

So if you'd like to wish him a lovely day, nerd out about #dnd, old TV (including adverts and […]

This commission points to where the government is heading. If the problem is “overdiagnosis” – which appears to be its foregone conclusion – then large numbers of people with horrendous conditions will be put through an even more punishing regime of tests and obstacles to qualify for benefits.

Pretty excited to realise that #firesidefedi is coming up to episode 50!

Who else thinks that @ozoned should interview HIMSELF (or, invite someone else to interview him) as a special celebration of the milestone?

Vital, highly condensed, very well prioritized stuff on why the open social web matters so much—and how it can help people do the necessary work of society in our very rough moment—from @ben at #fediforum. The keynote is being recorded and I'm so glad, because I will be recommending it widely.

Mind-blowing fact from @ben during #fediforum : in an fundraising experiment, he was able to raise more donations for #propublica on the Fediverse than on any other social channel. 🤯

Big thanks to everyone who joined #thebristolchannel at #fediforum with @cubicgarden @MediaRevolution and I!

I would love to chat more about community and helping people find their people on the Fediverse - and figure out some ways to make Liz's buddy system idea happen at scale!

Now the really important question:

Do I start an entirely separate "#fediforum to do" task in Notion, or do I just add to the last one which still has stuff unticked on it...?!
