Good morning Fedi friends!

6:40am local time and I’m on the train to the airport - destination: Hamburg for the #2MR conference where I’ll be speaking tomorrow morning. Topic: my dreams for the Fediverse ❤️

It’ll be my first time in the city and I look forward to exploring it this afternoon. If you have any recommendations (esp. re: where to get good coffee that an Italian would appreciate) I’m all ears 😊

“This is the Strait of Hormuz in the data economy. If you want to make a change, this is where you cut it off. Anything short of that is theatrical political posture.”

Friendly advice: If you live in a small space and need an efficient way to organize, I highly recommend getting a hanging shoe rack.

For less than $10, my sanity has been restored or at least improved.
