Hello,

After a whole week of palace intrigue in tech, I wanted to share some finds that deserve more attention:

1. [**BETTER BRAILLE**](https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/nov/20/magic-touch-how-revolutionary-changes-are-making-braille-better-than-ever?utm%5Fsource=pocket%5Freader) how ‘revolutionary’ changes are making braille better than ever.
2. [**POST FUTURE**](https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/23/23928550/posse-posting-activitypub-standard-twitter-tumblr-mastodon?utm%5Fsource=pocket%5Freader) If you’re a person who posts — and by “posts,” I mean creates everything from tweets to TikToks for lulz or for a living — what do you do now?
3. [**BIRD INEQUALITY**](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/21/science/birds-cities-redlining.html?unlocked%5Farticle%5Fcode=1.A00.T5nX.hlEyaOLsGHKp&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&ref=flyways.snowbird.global) Why warblers flock to wealthier neighborhoods.
4. [**BIKES > EVs**](https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/11/280-million-e-bikes-are-slashing-oil-demand-far-more-than-electric-vehicles/?ref=flyways.snowbird.global) E-bikes and scooters displace 4x as much demand for oil as all of the EVs in the world.
5. [**COMIC TIMING**](https://www.comedywildlifephoto.com/gallery/comedy-wildlife-2023-competition-winners.php?ref=flyways.snowbird.global) Winners of The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards. Because you deserve this.

It’s Thanksgiving weekend in the US, and even though I haven’t lived there in almost a decade - it’s one of my favorite holidays. Among many other things, I’m thankful for **your** attention.
