A quotation from George Orwell
We have become too civilised to grasp the obvious. For the truth is very simple. To survive you often have to fight, and to fight you have to dirty yourself. War is evil, and it is often the lesser evil. Those who take the sword perish by the sword, and those who don’t take the sword perish by smelly diseases.
George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1942-08), “Looking Back on the Spanish War, ch. 1, New Road (1943-06)

Version 0.16
WriteFreely v0.16 is finally here, and it brings a ton of improvements, especially for the fediverse! We've also fixed some long-standing issues, like hashtags on instances backed by MySQL 8.0.4+.Download v0.16.0 now, and read on to see what’s new in this version.
Fediverse Likes
You can now see how many people have “liked” your post from the fediverse! If your blog has federation enabled, readers in the fediverse can “like” your posts, and now they'll show up on WriteFreely as a simple count on your blog post (visible only to you).Improved Articles in the Fediverse
WriteFreely posts now look even better across the fediverse, especially on microblogging platforms like Mastodon and Threads. Now these platforms (and any others that support theprevieworsummaryfields on long-form Articles) will show an excerpt of your post along with a link to it.On ActivityPub platforms like Ghost that already support long-form Articles, your WriteFreely posts will come through in their full glory, as always.
Fediverse Creator Tag
We've added support for thefediverse:creatortag, which will show another fediverse profile (such as your Mastodon account) alongside your WriteFreely posts.To add this tag to your posts, go to your blog's Customize page, and under Verification, re-enter your fediverse handle (e.g.
@[url=/@/you@your.instance]you@your.instance[/url]), and save your changes. Then, on your Mastodon instance, go to Edit Profile > Verification tab, and add your WriteFreely instance domain under the Author Attribution section. Then you're all set!User-Facing Changes

Gilets jaunes : Comment Macron avait ORGANISÉ le chaos
🔎 En novembre 2018, des dizaines de milliers de « gilets jaunes » se révoltent contre Emmanuel Macron après qu’il a supprimé l’impôt sur la fortune et alourdi les taxes sur le diesel. Chaque samedi, ils manifestent leur colère autour des ronds-points ou sur les Champs-Elysées. Refusant de changer de politique, les Macronistes vont s’appuyer sur la police pour réprimer dans le sang ce qui s’apparente à la plus grande révolte populaire depuis mai 1968. Un maintien de l’ordre qui fera en un an plus de 2500 blessés côté manifestants (dont 400 blessés graves), et près de 2000 côté policiers et gendarmes. Un maintien du chaos ?

Da Alimentando.info.
Ci sono segni di rallentamento globale del mercato plant based. Dalla crescita vertiginosa delle vendite durante la pandemia, le alternative vegetali – in particolare la carne a base vegetale – hanno rallentato, con il mercato più grande (gli Stati Uniti) che registra una crescita negativa dal 2021.Questa tendenza non riguarda solo il settore retail, ma anche quello della ristorazione, che sta subendo la stessa pressione.
Probabilmente assisteremo a un cambiamento nel modo in cui Nestlé e altri grandi produttori si rapportano al mercato. Se in passato le grandi aziende alimentari avevano puntato tutto sulla tendenza plant-based, ora ci si aspetta un approccio più strategico.

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson
Now I know that in thus turning Conservative with years, I am going through the normal cycle of change and travelling in the common orbit of men’s opinions. I submit to this, as I would submit to gout or grey hair, as a concomitant of growing age or else of failing animal heat; but I do not acknowledge that it is necessarily a change for the better — I dare say it is deplorably for the worse.

The image depicts a fantastical scene with a character riding a large, winged creature soaring through a cloudy sky. The creature has expansive, feathered wings and a robust, armored body, with a rider mounted on its back. The rider is adorned in ornate armor, featuring a helmet with a crest and a shield, and is holding a weapon. The background reveals a misty, mountainous landscape with a faintly visible structure, possibly a floating island or a large ship, beneath the clouds. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of green and gray dominating the scene, creating a mystical atmosphere.

The image depicts a character descending from the sky using a large, intricately designed parachute. The parachute features a prominent symbol and is adorned with a mix of colors, including brown, yellow, and white. The character is equipped with a detailed outfit, including a chest piece with an orange emblem, and is carrying a bow and arrow. The background reveals a large, ancient-looking structure with stone architecture, including a prominent statue and a circular platform. The sky is overcast, adding a dramatic atmosphere to the scene. The overall color palette is dominated by greens and grays, suggesting a mystical or otherworldly setting.

The image depicts a scene from a video game, featuring two distinct characters in a dynamic confrontation. On the left, a towering, humanoid robot with a spiky, red and black head and glowing blue energy weapons is visible. Its body is adorned with intricate, glowing patterns and mechanical details, suggesting advanced technology. On the right, a human-like figure in elaborate, green and brown armor stands with a weapon raised, facing the robot. The character's armor is detailed with glowing elements and tribal-like patterns, indicating a blend of traditional and futuristic design. The background is a twilight sky, with hints of stone structures, adding to the epic scale of the scene. The overall composition emphasizes the size difference and the imminent clash between the two characters.

The Charm of Vermont
Preamble
Vermont is the State where individuals in clear and present violation of traditional values, roles, and related concepts can pursue a sense of safety, away from the implications of stereotypes caused and created specifically by the use of pronouns and other factors. The State of Vermont is known most commonly for progressive policies, renewable energy, and being the largest producer of maple syrup in the United States, with around fifty percent (50%) of the national supply. Only ten cities exist in the entire State; Vergennes, in Addison County in the west-central portion of the State, is the smallest of these, with a population count of fewer than three thousand (3,000) in total. Fourteen counties exist in the State:
- Grand Isle County → The islands within Lake Champlain (the Richelieu River)
- Franklin County → Along the Canadian border (specifically with the Province of Québec) and directly on the east side of Lake Champlain
- Orleans County → Contains Newport, Derby, and surrounding areas including Lake Memphrémagog
- Essex County → Very small communities, including Brighton (the largest town), Guildhall (the shire town), and surrounding communities at the northeastern extremity of the State
- Chittenden County → Contains Colchester, Winooski, Burlington, Essex Junction, and associated communities of the Burlington area
- Lamoille County → Communities include Hyde Park, Morristown, and Stowe, as well as the highest point in the State of Vermont (Mount Mansfield, north of Montpelier)
- Caledonia County → The heart of the Northeast Kingdom; includes locales such as St. Johnsbury
- Addison County → Located in west-central Vermont, Middlebury is the shire town of the county. Vergennes, the oldest and smallest of the ten incorporated cities of Vermont, is also located within the county.
- Washington County → Located centrally within the State of Vermont, the Cities of Barre and Montpelier are located within the county.
- Orange County → Located in east-central Vermont along the Connecticut River downstream from Caledonia and upstream from Windsor
- Rutland County → Contains the City of Rutland and surrounding communities fairly southwest in the State of Vermont
- Windsor County → Along the Connecticut River and the New Hampshire state line, containing communities such as Windsor
- Bennington County → Notable for having two shire towns, Manchester and Bennington, separated by differences in latitude; located in the extreme southwest corner of Vermont
- Windham County → Newfane is the shire town; Brattleboro, Bellows Falls, and Putney are also notable communities in the county.
Adventure in Stowe
Over Labor Day Weekend in 2025, novaTopFlex had experienced firsthand charm of the State of Vermont, particularly the Town of Stowe and the included Village of Stowe. The Stowe Mountain Resort, the Green Mountain Inn, and even local bookstores were of particular excellence, but so were the gondola rides within the area.
