📜 "We demand a world in which technology is created to protect and empower those who are impacted by it. Our technology must respect the rights and freedoms of those users. We need to take control for the purpose of collectively building a better world in which technology works in service to the good of human kind, protecting our rights and digital autonomy as individuals."

Repost from Twitter
I once more recommend #Hurl (hurl.dev). If you need to do what people use Postman for, but you cannot use Postman (for example, you're blind or more comfortable in command-line environment), it's the tool for you!

Hurl - Run and Test HTTP Requests

Hurl, run and test HTTP requests with plain text and curl. Hurl can run fast automated integration tests.

The thing about CBS News stopping all posting on #twitter is that I still had to learn about it on twitter.
I'm searching for a better way to get breaking news here.
Because I really like Mastodon. #BreakingNews #CBSNews #RIPTwitter

I started writing on Substack to talk about the process a manuscript takes in traditional publishing, and how to navigate the process without losing the book's soul.

It's a happy story that starts at the end of many rejections, and I'll post some threads in case the takeaways are faster/easier to get here vs. Substack. The site is The Bird's Eye, and it's completely free and goes to folks' inboxes every other week.

Lesson 5. The agent has to say yes, but SO DO YOU. Find *your* agent, not just any agent. Preserving your power to say no is important at many stages of the publishing journey (multiple offers, bad deal terms, etc.), and you want an agent who respects you and gives good advice. I can't stress this enough. 6/8

NPR's "On The Media" has a segment this morning on #Mastodon which is a pretty good introduction to the #fediverse.

They talk specifically about designed non-virality on M*; and the absence of quote-tweets, how this hurts #BlackTwitter #BlackMastodon.

Just learned about this really cool theme park in Texas specifically designed for kids with disabilities. Apparently this guy was having tons of trouble finding a theme park able to accommodate his daughter Morgan who has multiple disabilities. Eventually, he soled his successful business and spent $50,000,000 to build his own.
It's got 25 different attractions, tons of events, thousands of positive reviews ETC.
