This time next week, the U.S. will have voted. Anyone else feel sick?! This is our regular #NewstodonFriday thread, which highlights the newsrooms and reporters who have an active presence in the fediverse. Inevitably, we have political stories and politics-adjacent stories, along with some lighter fare, and some that straddle the two (@[email protected]’s story on a new Greg Abbott musical fits perfectly into that category). Please check out the stories, follow the publications, click on the stories, subscribe, donate and otherwise support if you can. See you on the other side.

The Haitian Revolution was the only known uprising of enslaved people that led to the founding of a slavery-free state. Many women fought alongside men, but few are remembered. An upcoming exhibition in London seeks to redress the balance with portraits of some of the female revolutionary fighters. @BBCNews’s Emi Eleode writes about the women, and the show.
