<p>It’s <a href="/tags/newstodonfriday/" rel="tag">#NewstodonFriday</a> once again, where we share stories from independent newsrooms and journalists, plus one or two from our editorial desks. We have two equally good, but very different pieces about the perils of confidence, a fantastic <span class="h-card"><a href="https://newsie.social/@ProPublica" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>ProPublica</span></a></span> interview with Abigail Dillen (president of Earthjustice), about the new hostility towards environmentalists, a sobering story about deaths in custody in Texas, and a guide to boycotts. We’ve also got our own idea about who should buy Fyre Festival, and a helpful reminder about the importance of gratitude. We’re grateful for independent media — check out the thread, comment, like, follow their accounts and subscribe to their publications. ⤵️</p><p><a href="/tags/media/" rel="tag">#Media</a> <a href="/tags/journalism/" rel="tag">#Journalism</a> <a href="/tags/news/" rel="tag">#News</a> <a href="/tags/newstodon/" rel="tag">#Newstodon</a> <a href="/tags/mastodonmigration/" rel="tag">#MastodonMigration</a> <a href="/tags/followfriday/" rel="tag">#FollowFriday</a></p>

<p>It’s Friday, and that means only one thing: The chance to sleep later than 6.40am for a couple of days unless you’ve got kids, in which case, sooooorrrry. Oh, and also, it’s <a href="/tags/newstodonfriday/" rel="tag">#NewstodonFriday</a>, where we share fantastic journalism from indie newsrooms and journalists! We’re kicking off this thread with stories on elections to watch in May in the U.S., Australia and Singapore. We’ve also got stories on the Roganification of the male mystique, library censorship, therapy chatbots, plus an absolute banger from Lyz Lenz, in which she coins the phrase “a conclave of chads,” and we admire and envy her absolute mastery of the English language. Check out the thread, comment, like, follow the accounts we’ve tagged, and subscribe/donate to them. ⤵️</p><p><a href="/tags/media/" rel="tag">#Media</a> <a href="/tags/journalism/" rel="tag">#Journalism</a> <a href="/tags/news/" rel="tag">#News</a> <a href="/tags/newstodon/" rel="tag">#Newstodon</a> <a href="/tags/mastodonmigration/" rel="tag">#MastodonMigration</a> <a href="/tags/followfriday/" rel="tag">#FollowFriday</a></p>

<p>Alas, we&#x27;ve not had time to pull together our usual <a href="/tags/newstodonfriday/" rel="tag">#NewstodonFriday</a> thread this week (sometimes you&#x27;ve just got to prioritize watching a group of seven-year-olds wave paper plates to the &quot;Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy&quot;). Instead, we&#x27;re going to re-share our list of the brilliant indie publishers with an active presence on Mastodon, all of whom would love your support.

<p>Good morning/afternoon/evening/night to you, depending on where you are, and when you see this <a href="/tags/newstodonfriday/" rel="tag">#NewstodonFriday</a> thread! Here’s our weekly selection of stories from indie media outlets on everything from a holier-than-thou Texas legislator to an incredible scientific treatment that may have cured a little boy of a genetic illness. Plus, housing scams, Grok’s obsession with South Africa, and a word from The Boss. We love independent media, and we hope you’ll share these stories far and wide, comment (we’d love to see your recommendations for the best things you’ve read/watched/heard this week). And if you can afford to, please donate your money to these brilliant sites.⤵️</p><p><a href="/tags/media/" rel="tag">#Media</a> <a href="/tags/journalism/" rel="tag">#Journalism</a> <a href="/tags/news/" rel="tag">#News</a> <a href="/tags/newstodon/" rel="tag">#Newstodon</a> <a href="/tags/mastodonmigration/" rel="tag">#MastodonMigration</a> <a href="/tags/followfriday/" rel="tag">#FollowFriday</a></p>

<p>The Memorial Day weekend in the U.S. typically marks the start of summer there, so here’s a collection of light and frothy… just kidding! We’ve got stagflation! We’ve got a barnstormer from <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Daojoan" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Daojoan</span></a></span> about the global loss of virtue and morality! We’ve got Dr. Phil’s son and his payday loans! In and amongst the hard news, find a little optimism with not one, but two stories on helping birds, a piece from <span class="h-card"><a href="https://texasobserver.social/@TexasObserver" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>TexasObserver</span></a></span> on how Jess Rizo, whose niece died in the Uvalde shooting, turned pain into a run for public office, and some inspiring stories on activism from <span class="h-card"><a href="https://flipboard.com/@Joysauce" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Joysauce</span></a></span>.

<p>Not a real <a href="/tags/newstodonfriday/" rel="tag">#NewstodonFriday</a> post from us this week because we&#x27;re still getting back up to speed after the holidays (yes, we&#x27;re relaxed, no, we don&#x27;t expect it to last!).

<p>It’s Friday! It’s nearly June! How the heck did that happen?! Here’s our <a href="/tags/newstodonfriday/" rel="tag">#NewstodonFriday</a> selection of stories from independent newsrooms and a few that caught the Flipboard editorial team’s eye. And while there’s hard-hitting journalism in there (we live in hard-hitting times), there’s more than our usual number of inspiring, positive stories of hope and beauty amidst destruction and oppression. <a href="https://journa.host/@timkmak" rel="nofollow">@timkmak</a>’s team writes about secret apartment concerts in Ukraine. <span class="h-card"><a href="https://newsie.social/@TheConversationUS" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>TheConversationUS</span></a></span>’s story is about “bone music” in Soviet Russia. We’ll end with a Tiny Desk concert from <span class="h-card"><a href="https://flipboard.com/@npr" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>npr</span></a></span> to take you into the weekend. Please follow independent publishers on the open social web, engage with their stories, and donate money if you can. ⤵️</p><p><a href="/tags/media/" rel="tag">#Media</a> <a href="/tags/journalism/" rel="tag">#Journalism</a> <a href="/tags/news/" rel="tag">#News</a> <a href="/tags/newstodon/" rel="tag">#Newstodon</a> <a href="/tags/mastodonmigration/" rel="tag">#MastodonMigration</a> <a href="/tags/followfriday/" rel="tag">#FollowFriday</a></p>
