He's recovering, and continuing to work on new pieces. We have a ton of great articles being written, and hope to return to our regular schedule very soon!

Hmmm... although we're able to log in to our #Akkoma account through @npub1nwkd...dgjz, it looks like our timeline doesn't populate, and we can't post anything. 🤔 Akkoma supports the Mastodon APIs, but it's still a different platform with slightly different needs.
