It's been a while, just came back to let yall know if you're looking for something to do instead of doomscrolling this weekend, our comrades at the Half Price Books union stores are looking for a show of support from the community at a rally this saturday (2/22) at noon at the Westport store.

They've been fighting for a contract for a year, facing union busting campaigns from HBP corporate the whole time. if you like books and labor you should come!

Word is there will be hot drinks. Also it sounds like they don't really expect to go til 3, so be early!

I like watching (and making) funny shortform videos on TikTok and Instagram reels, and I'd like to move to the fediverse as much as possible. Glancing around at PeerTube, it seems designed to replicate traditional YouTube with longform content, not something I'm interested in. PixelFed looks like the old Instagram, intended exclusively for photography and not memes of any kind, let alone video. So where can I get a quick haha off without a billionaire stooge breathing down my neck? (And let me know if this is the wrong community to ask, I'll gladly repost elsewhere)

Edit: before anyone writes any lectures, I realize video content is exponentially more resource-intensive to host compared to text and images. To be clear, I'm not demanding my every entertainment need be met by the fediverse right now, just curious what's out there.
