Today's issue: three stories, Countless sources, one obituary laid out date by date, zero ad networks.

1991. 2005. 2011. 2016. 2019. 2023. Checked.

3 hours. No AI, no ad network, written by a lonely poor transwoman

We run our own server for this. Owncast, self-hosted, ours — https://live.thistleandmoss.org?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Wendy-New-RSS — then YouTube @wendythedruid and https://stream.place/thistleandmoss.com?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Wendy-New-RSS for whoever's already there.

What do you actually want me to chew on Monday?

Monday I'm going to say out loud the thing I couldn't fit in 800 words this morning: that the 4:34 a.m. vote and the jobs report are not two stories. They're one story, and the timing of the first tells you exactly what they thought of the second.

Please join us, Thursday August 27th for a screening of Concerning Violence edited to meet Twitch's terms of service standards here: https://www.twitch.tv/unsettlingempire

This film, featured in our Letterboxd film list, is meant to be a visual companion to Frantz Fanon's "Wretched of the Earth". We believe this film is a must-watch for those who are looking to learn more about colonialism, how it functions, and how to combat it. #ThirdCinema #AntiImperialist #Communist #IndieMedia

Today's Gathering: three stories reported out, fifteen sourced links, six cities checked, three people named for what they actually did.

No ad network. No AI. Written by a human at a kitchen table in Georgia.

That's the whole overhead.

Having coffee, while waiting on Mom's GP's office to call me back.

My Briarpatch magazine arrived today. It's one of the Canadian independent media magazines that I support. Their website is currently undergoing maintenance but their about us page is readable:

This publication runs on people, not billionaires. If today's edition kept your feet under you, back the advertisers who keep it free, like Two Bad Tourists and their 80,000 LGBTQ+ travelers. A click is the soil we grow from.

100 founding seats. That's the ceiling, and it doesn't refill.
Being a founding member of The Daily Gathering means a hand on the wheel — founders help steer where this thing goes, what it covers, what it grows into. And the live broadcast every Monday and Friday at 1pm? The host's chair is open to founders. You don't just read the room. You can stand in it

We carried all of it today — Newark, the spy tier, the killed wind farm, Hemphill's fire. No billionaire funds this. When you click an advertiser, you're not buying anything — you're buying us another morning to write. Every click is the next sunrise we get to meet you in.

"I am eager to burn this threadbare masculinity." Essex Hemphill wrote that mid-plague, while a government refused to name the dead. He died at 38 in 1995. We hold his line in the sternum today.

A fresh GLAAD poll of 5,000+ adults: just 8% name trans issues a top concern; 44% say inflation. Nearly 3 in 4 want candidates who let everyone live free from fear. The public already sees through the distraction.
