  Indivisible has launched a campaign to get people to physically visit their representatives this week: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Cru6DBkH5gadq3S-mVhiSU72mC2ZeDHXG93jeiemFH0/edit?tab=t.0 Recording of the Indivisible/Working Families/Move On call from yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55yf3AstpQI You're not into electoral anything, ever?

So even if you’re at the 80th to 99th percentile of resistance to corporate social media OR mainstream party politics OR mainstream journalism OR cars OR the normalization of repeat covid infections, there will always be people popping up to tell you that by not being completely pure, you’re killing everyone.

The Fediverse governance research @darius and I have been working on this year—with the absolutely central participation of so many wonderful Mastodon and Hometown server teams—is out: https://write.as/fediversalist-papers/releasing-our-findings

  Happy holidays, fediverse! I got you a megathrust earthquake, soil liquefaction, spine-tingling papers about the way our networks confound knowledge, and a PDF in a pear tree. It's my wrap on a year of trying to make sense of how we make sense of what's happening to us. https://www.wrecka.ge/landslide-a-ghost-story/

  @tomjennings I think that has to be part of it—we stabilize against erosion by building up root networks and I think about that all the time.
