October Corridor Zine Slaps!

The October volume of our favorite zine will go out into the world this week and next.  There is some discussion about having a fun little meet-up, perhaps at Stones Throw, to celebrate the 50th Corridor, April 2027. Details will roll out probably after the holidays.  In February 2028, the 60th volume = FIVE years of Corridors!!! Yippee! What should we do? hmmmm… Have a party of course. The Corridor Collective is super thankful for the art and poems people have contributed over the years.

IN THIS ISSUE
Fall and spring, and even spooky October, are pretty easy targets for metaphors. The Corridor poets took these ideas to a new level. Exceptional poems all! The October issue of Corridor is a thoughtful exploration of life’s cycles—touching on themes of loss and renewal—while celebrating our deep connection to nature and place. Through diverse voices and styles, the poems reflect on moments of grief and forgiveness, the passage of time, and the quiet power of the natural world around us.

The FreeBSD port of littleFedi was already ready at release time, and it’s really well done.

One of the peculiarities of littleFedi is that it was developed and tested first on the BSDs, then on illumos, and only later on Linux.

The first public instance, my own @[email protected] account, runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero W with NetBSD.

I don’t think many social platforms have started out on NetBSD in recent years.
