playing around with image loading and display while we're at it. i see the vision but can't quite get it working at first pass. a wordpress style site could certainly benefit from images, will keep fiddling with it.

Blood and Politics is Leonard Zeskind's unprecedented, sweeping history of white nationalism's rise over four decades. Banned by the U.S. Naval Academy in April 2025, its October re-release could not be more timely. Join us to celebrate the release on our fall book tour, starting in the Midwest.
Join us on tour
At every stop, Carol Smith, Leonard’s life partner of 46 years, offers reflections on the book and Zeskind’s legacy, joined by Devin Burghart, executive director of IREHR, who tracked the movement alongside Zeskind since 1991.

Multi line fields did not display in MeshChatX version 4.5.8, they didn't even work in 4.9.1. Once updating a testing device to 4.9.3, multi line fields worked and looked great. It's a NEW new feature. We're going to put it to good use.

Holy shit! We're in business. The field can be manually grown and shrunk, scrolled up and down through what's off screen. It looks extremely similar to the WordPress text editor, which is just basic ass text. We can work with this!

I knew input method mattered and that what's been used so far, single line input, was inadequate. Started a little research and testing, getting a feel for what's available to get an idea for what's possible and the shape of what needs to be built. Found this:

Boise Autonomous Solidarity Hub @bigbash.bsky.social · 8h
Converting header tags into Micron stylistic equivalents seems trivial. Allowing users to customize variables to modify their site's look and feel has already been done. Modifying the rooms code to gather posts instead and the chat display to show them in order seems easy enough. A good start.

Decided to try a wordpress-style NomadNet blog publishing project, with the experience & knowledge gained from the chat project. Funnily, the storage and data processing aspect, the difficult stuff, has been mostly worked through on the other project. Multi line text input seemed to be the hurdle.

the system that took away personal healthcare & medical decisions will still exist, no matter what happens with prop 1. prop 1 won't save us from this system. still, those in our community that need this access deserve this access. we need to fix this system long term AND prop 1 needs to pass now.

Boise Autonomous Solidarity Hub @bigbash.bsky.social · 13h
healthcare access/medical decisions should not be political and a system that allows the politicization of these personal decisions is a failed system. idaho's government has failed to protect the autonomy of its citizens. the same system will not save us. prop 1 will restore abortion access.

Boise Autonomous Solidarity Hub @bigbash.bsky.social · 13h
defeating prop 1 is the single issue of the right in idaho right now. some of the right were on immigration and ICE nonsense but got "not now, jan"-ed/brow beaten into alarm bell ringing about this one issue. abortion access is on the ballot in idaho but those against it are HEAVILY mobilizing.

For me, the hardest thing about stories like the Cornell gang rape case isn’t reading the initial details—although that is hard. What’s even harder is when men online, especially the journalists and pundits, start trying to combat the feminist outrage by purposefully seeding doubt and victim-blaming

i think link id generation is related to route and seems stable as an identifier short term but has created duplicate logins over long term as id changes, which system can't handle. building it to where new login warns and boots old.

The longer goal is to build more usable social/comms tools into NomadNet. If big tech continue to tighten around us, what kinda shit do we need need to communicate important information across long distances? That's why NomadNet stands out, it's the platform and not the chat, per se

I haven't built out DMs because of LXMF on MeshChat, would almost certainly be building a worse system in comparison. We use server side encryption and encrypted message storage on the chats. Rooms, messages and accounts self delete on timers. Room/account timers pushed back on action

It's a radical choice to be soft in hard times. Refuse the call of easy enemies and a life of hating them, even when it's justified. It's bait: you're meant to focus on that hate while the world burns around us. Letting it go is work, they deserve hate. It just... doesn't do anything for us.

Our side is, of course, better and more right. Plus, sometimes violence is unavoidable, an act of defense against violence, for example. This isn't a radical centrist both sides/everyone's wrong thing. It's an "I refuse to lose my humanity to hate but I do hate what those fuckers are doing" thing.

Everyone over there is just calling for everyone else to be murdered constantly + pretending that their side is the good side. Like there's no "hey, this is really not the way side." You just pick your team and try to get the other one killed. Everyone's stewing in ultra violence and desensitivity.

The BASH site landing page is pure Micron, rather than Python/Micron blend. This lackluster display of it leads me to believe the Columba parsing and display of Micron is incomplete/not updated. This is something that they can resolve with an update to their processing/handling and I hope they do!
