So its done! I finally released a fairly easy to install (from scratch) Hugo based Static Site generator with full ActivityPub support.
It has step-by-step instructions on how to set it up for your own blog or static website.
One of the coolest features for me, other than having your static site blog posts show up as posts in the Fediverse is the support for interacting with those posts. Any replies you leave, likes, or boosts will show up in the "comments" section of the website on the page associated with the post. How cool is that!
To help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same. Add #introductions to the post.

So I got the raw 3d MRI source files from the hospital. Then I got the software needed to view the MRI in 3d. It let me rotate, slice, and even colorize the images. So **I** generated these images from the raw MRI. It shows my kidney, heart, and skeleton from 4 different angles fully colorized. How cool is that!
I also included some of just the heart and kidneys on its own from the same scan.
Whistleblower reveals evidence on how Elon Musk's DOGE team extracted 10 GB of sensitive data about American citizens from a government agency, and then deleted accounts and logs to cover their tracks.
Then, when the whistleblower tried to report the data breach, he received a threatening letter containing pictures taken from a drone watching him walking his dog.

"When you say "illegal aliens can be ejected w/o due process" what you really mean is,"the govt doesn't have to prove you're an illegal alien before ejecting you."
#Dueprocess literally just means "the govt has to prove it's a reason for what it's doing." disappearing ppl w/o due process was literally one of the things the American Revolutionaries listed in the Declaration of Independence why they weren't taking orders from King George III anymore-."

I mean if we were expanding the list to including anyone who should be a political enemy I'd have to say it would be:
* Trump
* Vance - for assisting trump
* Musk - For assisting trump
* Biden - For being a raging racist who spent a career supporting segregation, for renewing patriot act
* Obama - For intentionally killing a 15 year old usa citizen without due process, for renewing patriot act
* Bush Jr - For starting partiot act, and torturing muslims
I'd be all for putting them all in a deep dark jail, maybe our country could heal.
All that happy talk about RFK Jr supporting the measles vaccine was bunk. The full transcript & subsequent reporting and actions make clear he’s deeply invested in proving vaccines are the problem, not the solution.
It’s part of a much bigger blow to American HC that’ll reverberate for decades.
“Truth & transparency aren’t desired by this sec.” (& throughout the Trump regime)
A sicker, poorer electorate is easier to rule. It’s a Putinesque.

When the Earth Held Its Breath
When the earth held its breath,
and the trees stopped speaking in green,
I found your shadow pressed into the silence—
not like absence,
but like the memory of warmth
left in a chair
after someone has risen.
I did not call your name.
It was already there,
inscribed beneath the skin of rain,
folded into the hush of wheat fields
bowing under the weight of their gold.
Even the wind carried you—
not as sound,
but as the echo of longing
before the voice has formed.
There were no angels.
Only the dust rising
from the soles of tired workers
who knew love by its weight,
not its wings.
And still, the sun leaned low,
willing to touch the dirt
just to reach us.
You were the breath I took
before understanding what it meant
to be hollow
and still full.
You were the salt in my wound
that sang.
Oh, what a terrible, beautiful thing—
to be stitched into another’s silence.
To be the ache
someone calls home.
To carry within you
the whole cathedral of their absence,
lit by nothing
but the soft, persistent flame
of remembering.
And still—
I would carry it.
The ache, the salt,
the tender ruins of your voice
crumbling somewhere
between my ribs.
I would carry it
into the next life
and the next,
and the next—
not because I must,
but because
even grief
was more beautiful
with you in it.

Universodon is literally one of the servers that blocked us for being "free speech - no hate speech" server... Oh the irony of them complaining about the world they helped create.
