Local news matters, now more than ever. So a few weeks ago, we asked you for your thoughts on federating local papers in the USA — where you're located, and the specific publications you'd like to see. You responded, with ideas, suggestions, and an education on American geography. Now, we've federated 64 publications. Here's a blogpost with more details, plus a spreadsheet with a list of all the federated profiles, which include everyone from @AlaskaBeacon to @SunSentinel. If you spy a profile you like, search for it in the fediverse and you should see all its Magazines (topical feeds). Follow the profile to see everything in your feed, or just Magazines if you're only interested in, for example, South Florida Sports (@south-florida-sports-SunSentinel) or Texas Barbecue (@texas-bbq-TexasMonthly). If we've missed something or you have a suggestion for us, just let us know in the comments. Follow our @FlipboardMagazines account for regular updates on federated Magazines.

ICYMI: Last week we federated 64 local and regional publishers from the U.S., including @AustinMonitor, @Gothamist, @SpotlightPA and @AlaskaBeacon. Since then, we've also federated a handful of accounts on the request of fediverse community members (let us know if there's a local or regional paper you'd love to see here, and we'll see what we can do).
Here's a spreadsheet of all our federated accounts. Simply search for their user name in the fediverse to find all their Magazines (topical feeds). Follow their profile to see everything they're publishing, or a specific Magazine if you're only interested in one subject — we're rather partial to @texas-bbq-TexasMonthly. 🍗

Know what that is in that photo?
It's a dumpster full of books —mostly LGBT stuff but others too— heading to the landfill.
Know what *that* is?
It's goddamned fascism.
This is what hate looks like.
This is what hate does.
