Māori-language punk band Half/Time will appear on the same bill as the Welsh-language post-punk band Adwaith this week at the Focus #Wales festival in Wrexham.
While the two cultures developed on opposite sides of the world, both are subject to colonial rule and have felt the pain of having their languages suppressed. The festival arrives amidst a surge of interest in both countries in learning their languages.

Hey all, I’ve noticed that our beta test of post imports has resulted in old posts flooding timelines.
Sometimes these beta tests work without a hitch. But other times, we make new discoveries. I really want this feature to be available to everyone, but I acknowledge there’s been hiccups.
So I have a request. If you want to import your posts, please ask permission from @admin@calckey.social first.
Once we know you want to import, we will mute your feed for one hour — allowing you to post without disturbing your fellow calckey.social friends.
I appreciate your co-operation with this as we fine tune this fantastic new feature.

Yet another PSA: Please, please check a project’s issue tracker before filing an issue. We don’t need 10 duplicates of the same issue. There’s a reason you’re asked to check for duplicates before filing an issue. Pass it on. :boost_ok:

Congress is trying to outlaw end-to-end encryption again and it’s time to take action. Tell your rep. to vote against the STOP CSAM Act.
