The #media section of the #awesome list was actually pretty cool, with lots of free culture across the lists:

There's a petition to Save the .org top level domain. Apparently, ICANN could still stop it from being sold.
https://savedotorg.org
I know, petitions rarely work, but I also know that _sometimes_ they do.
Please consider signing if you _run_ anything there, or if you _use_ or _care about_ anything that's on a .org domain. Also, boosting this to others who follow you, would be very much appreciated.

We made a minor but important change to the #CopyleftConf Code of Conduct this year. It now includes this text, "This code applies to everyone -- including attendees, speakers, volunteers and staff." Thanks to the person who asked for clarification! https://2020.copyleftconf.org/code-of-conduct
Apparently I'm into #dcss enough to track and comment on changelogs...

Today @maiki asked the question: How do you make time to write?
It led me to thinking, and writing, but mostly leading me to the next question: How do I make SPACE to write?

How do you make time to write? Or create, in any medium? Any level of detail is appreciated. ^_^

#nanowrimo is coming up soon, and many of you writers are thinking, "ugh, I don't have it in me to do a full novel this year." That's okay! Why not come play along with us on https://cosmic.voyage instead. Write a few stories at your own pace.
This is a super long shot, but I figure if anyone knows about 'em, it'll be this group. Does anyone know any free (printable PDF ideal) zines that are like, radical leftism for kids? Anarchy, socialism, communism, any mix of the those and more?
There's a halloween trick-or-treat for the daycare kids at my office next week, and they *did* say non-food treats were a great thing to have, after all...
“Newman and St John were mentally and spiritually in love; sharing a long-term same-sex relationship. They were inseparable. They lived together for over 30 years, like a married husband and wife,” Newman called St John his “earthly light” and said, “From the first he loved me with an intensity of love.,,”
In 2008, the Vatican decided to dig up Newman’s remains and move them out of the grave he shared with his “priest friend” in preparation for sainthood.

Hey, I figured it out using an #Apache project called #PDFBox (I had the PDF, but also the INDD, thinking it might be easier...).
It grabbed the text and dumped it into a text file for me. ^_^

My friend also noted one can `strings file.indd | less`. Text is fun to work with. Well, more fun.
