The Bonfire team have met their first “maintenance” fundraising goal. The next stretch goal is designing and shipping federated groups.
There is lots of good writing in this post about the needs of different types of groups.

Why Community Matters: Groups as the Next Step for the Fediverse
Federated groups in Bonfire will be spaces where communities gather to organise, care, and coordinate across the fediverse. They'll live next to your personal feed, but each group having a specific purpose: a study circle, a lab team, an activist collective, a local mutual aid crew, a project team. Inside you’ll find posts, conversations, calendars, shared resources, and more. Crucially, groups will be portable and interoperable.

Just finished "Twice as Perfect" by Louise Onomé. This is now the third novel I've read by her about a teenage Nigerian-Canadian second-generation immigrant, two of whom deal with some form of family estrangement ("Like Home" and "The Melancholy of Summer" are the other two). I checked it out because I liked her other novels and was not disappointed; in fact I feel like this is her best novel of the three. Dealing with cultural appropriation, both implicitly and explicitly, along with deep family trauma and a bit of romance, "Twice as Perfect" is suspenseful, wise, and heartfelt. It's got a thread of Nigerian Pidgin in it, which I thoroughly enjoyed although I didn't 100% understand, similar in some ways to the sprinkling of Spanish in "Each of Us a Desert", but with even less of an attempt to subtly explain each instance in English, which I don't mind at all.
The 2nd generation immigrant authors writing YA ~romances I've read recently have all been great, including Adiba Jaigirdar, Samira Ahmed, Sabina Khan, and Randa Abdel-Fattah (a slightly different era), and to a lesser extent Romina Garber (I didn't like "Lobizona" quite as much as stuff by these others). It's been super interesting to contrast their stories with those of people like Mark Oshiro, Angie Thomas, Randi Pink, and Angela Velez who talk about American racism from a non-immigrant perspective (perhaps Ahmed is in between the two groups).

Estimates suggest that hundreds of ⭐️psychedelic churches operate illegally in the US.
As court interpretations evolve, religious freedom claims expand and more Americans drift away from traditional religion,
these groups are increasingly emerging from the underground to push boundaries over which substances – and beliefs – deserve protection.
The Church of Gaia recently became the first psychedelic church to win government recognition by petition rather than suing.

Society should learn to celebrate and capitalise on its
“massive cohort of healthy, active, older, creative adults”,
a leading population expert has said.
While pundits and pressure groups have raised concerns over falling fertility rates, highlighting the challenges for the economy and healthcare,
others are more upbeat, arguing the rise of the “silver economy” brings new opportunities for growth.
