The week of November 20th to November 27th [2020]:

Revealed part of the #tech scribbling marathon posting: ‘What are federated sites?’ and ‘Switching from Facebook to the Fediverse: What’s stopping us?’ articles.

Snail Mail community - I reblogged the Black & Pink holiday card campaign post [here].

Aro & Ace community - I reposted AUREA’s call for submission about aromantic fears [here].

ASL - The Sound Off Ladies cover the basics of Deaf name signs [here]. They also touch on suggestions for Biden and (for the first time for a Vice President) Harris.

• Kate - “Colonialism in Speculative Fiction: An Unexpected Case Study” [here].
• Offsite [FoodStampsNow] - [US] State by state guide with posts about being able to buy online groceries with EBT (if able to do so).

The relevant portion of the comment thread about the one comic:

I have to ask - do you read Stand Still, Stay Silent? It's a webcomic by a Swedish-Finnish author set in post-apocalyptic Scandinavia + Finland, and the different Nordic languages and the language barriers between them play a major role.
