I always strive to be kind to everyone. This world is hard enough, and you never know what someone is going through.
But the truth is, this kindness never extends inward. It pains me to admit that I'm quite mean to myself—meaner than I've ever been to another person, ever.
I'm working on it, but it's a hard habit to break.
So I want to know: what's one simple thing you do to show yourself some kindness?

The responses to the Trump verdict offer an instructive – and alarming – reminder of what defines the American Right today: They are out for bloody retaliation, all dressed up as patriotism.
Across the world the right to repair is gaining traction... in the UK Jay Blades & his colleagues on The Repair Shop have pushed repairing into the mainstream.
This has been going on for some time, including cycle repair Co-ops, repair clinics etc. Every now & then it pops up in the mainstream media... and here is this week's iteration.
Repairing is the future, but the Tech firms don't want us to embrace it - resist!
I'm very excited that the #Ghost team has chosen #Fedify to implement #ActivityPub. I've been working closely with the Ghost team, and it's been a lot of fun, and I can't wait to see the ActivityPub implementation at Ghost.
Very aligned with the project I've been working on recently, which is aiming to create a network of shared purpose so that you can find other humans who are interested in the same things you are.
I was catching up on some older Scientific American articles and came across this one from March.
It's an article about the problems caused by car dependency, and it hits all of the important parts of a solution (zoning, regulation exceptions for SUVs, free parking, etc).
There are no surprises to anyone who has been orange-pilled, but it's still nice to see this kind of article in the more mainstream press.
@notjustbikes Is it true that most urbanists have better knowledge of cars than average regular drivers? There are so many things people are missing when they are driving, which makes me feel weird.
Your wonderful SUV-bashing video pushed me into a weird rabbit hole about what kinds of cars are in the streets and which kinds of driver behaviour are bad. Turns out there are so many mad people on the road that I was not previously aware of, some of them leaving signs in their cars that can be seen when the car is parked.
For example, I have seen more than one car with stickers on the rear windshield, or something is behind the rear windshield, mostly plushies. This indicates the driver is not using the rear view mirror. Outrageous.
One can usually find bs on their main page, e. g.:
'Superheavy Elements Are Breaking the Periodic Table'
'These Gray Whales Are Shrinking and Scientists Aren’t Sure Why'
I checked the official website of #OpenGraph (see: https://ogp.me) and I don't see the fediverse: namespace anywhere. Which means this fediverse: namespace is not an OpenGraph tag and will more likely not work without a proper prefix namespace, correct?
So, what am I missing here? People are already adding it. O_O
Update: Relevant thread/discussion about this fediverse: namespace.
As I mentioned elsewhere, there is a case for providing json-ld metadata - which is already in use and has been blessed by Google (not that I care) and dumping both OpenGraph and X/Cards in favour of open standards over proprietary and non-extensible solutions. The Alphabet currently only blesses @context values using schema.org, but this is where the fediverse can assert a standard context that works for us and just start using it. And it's already defined!.
We're in the process of adding a basic tagging system to our app. This feels like one of those things we have some pretty established conventions for already in order to make tag-entries exceedingly user friendly on both desktop, mobile et.al., soo
got any good resources for 'Best Practice of Tagging UX'?
@erlend This isn't specifically about tagging, but maybe you'll find it useful: I like to read through the Material Design guidelines because I think they've got nice usage examples and do a good job explaining how things work and why.
