Orlando is a classic of feminist literature because Virginia Woolf radically questions the boundaries of gender, identity, and social expectations, and creates a literary utopia of self-determination and freedom that continues to resonate today. This self-determination and freedom are current issues—not only for women, but also for men and non-binary people.

"Trans former judge plans to challenge gender ruling at European court": https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9qw2149yelo

Representation matters. That we HAVE a trans former-judge, somebody both well-equipped AND motivated to escalate this important challenge to the ECHR, is hugely fortunate.

We need more representation (of trans people specifically, but many other groups too, and perhaps particularly in the intersections) in positions of power, expertise, and authority. To defend the human rights of all of us.

Wishing you luck, Victoria McCloud.

Even before I had a name for it, I knew I was different. I’d flip through magazines and feel a tug in my chest when I saw certain women, TV presenters, actresses, models. It wasn’t jealousy or admiration the way I told myself it was. It was something deeper. Something unspoken.

Affrontare la verità non è romantico. Non è eroico. È sporco. Fa male.
Ma è l'unico modo per non tradirsi.

Non piacerà a tutti.
Non deve piacere.
Perché la verità non chiede il permesso, ti scava dentro.

Grazie 🦔

Hey Fediverse! 👋
Two weeks have passed and here we have another update from the BadgeFed burrow! Here’s what’s new, brewing, and how you can jump in if you’re feeling adventurous.

Early Bits of Decentralization

We’ve started the very first steps toward decentralization! 🛰️ Right now, we’re planning to add two more test instances to push federation further.

That said—there are still no controls for blocking, defederating, moderating, or deleting yet. So we’re not opening it up publicly just yet (BadgeFed isn’t ready for the wild west).

BUT—if you’re comfortable around SQL and servers, don’t mind losing data, and want to help us test the early messy bits, let us know! We’d love to have more fearless testers on board.

OpenBadges Export is Live! 🎉

Big milestone: you can now export your badges to OpenBadges format!

This is a huge step toward real portability. Right now, you can only export badges tied to profile URLs (think Mastodon profiles, etc.), not emails yet.

That means you can’t directly import them into platforms like Badgr or Credly (unless they someday support URL-based verification).
We’re going to push for that—because identity shouldn’t be chained to an email address.

Also: we have zero interest in storing emails. Privacy first. Always.

UX/UI Improvements + Search 🔍

A few small but mighty improvements:

New search page! Now you can search your past badges easily.
Badges are now an attachment to a regular ActivityPub note, instead of a separate document type.
- We tried doing a new document type, but… Mastodon just ignored it.
- Like it or not, we need to be Mastodon-compatible to reach people. But attachments are a fine way to extend the ActivityPub spec.

Little things, but they add up to a smoother experience.

Follow Other Issuers! (and Bridgefed!)

Issuers can now follow other issuers!
We think this is a critical building block for decentralization. 🛠️

Plus, if you follow Bridgy Fed, it will bridge to Bluesky!

Lots of Other Nerdy Bits

Under the hood:

Tons of minor improvements and cleanups
More internal support for federating badges across different servers
Prepping groundwork for instance-level controls later

Wanna Test With Us? 🧪

If you’re comfortable with:

Raw SQL
Servers crashing
Maybe losing everything 😅

…and want to help shape early decentralized BadgeFed, message us!

(Seriously, it’ll be messy but fun.)

👉 GitHub Repo

Let’s make federated badges a reality. 🚀

As RSA Conference kicks off, it’s cool to see #identity management get highlighted in this CSO Online article as a topic that will “dominate” the agenda, as well as a callout that the #passwordless (re)evolution is finally here. Attendees should definitely check out the talks in the Identity track because there’s a little bit of everything in there: from best practices, technical solutions, and top concerns for those tackling today’s problems, to interesting developments that could shape tomorrow’s digital experiences.
