This is actually not about XML, despite the title, it's about us geeks being fashion victims, and I really enjoyed reading it. https://www.bitecode.dev/p/hype-cycles

A blog post about mastodon, hometown and my philosophy around hometown social networking.

Thanks to @comeetie for the visualisation. Hat tip to @darius for the aforementioned fork. Hope you don't mind me using a screen grab of our convo, @helvick.

7 abortion providers are ready to switch to misoprostol-only medication abortions if a judge bans the main abortion pill, mifepristone, nationwide. That ruling could happen as soon as this Friday.
