Thank you to everyone who has accompanied me on this journey. Running OhioDDR has meant the world to me, and while I’m a little sad to move on, it’s the right time.
I know @f4sh10n.bsky.social @tnaps.bsky.social and @phuzion.bsky.social care as much as I do. You’re all in good hands.

i dont think there’s ever been a point where corporate america has had a sincere sense of morality but it is probably a sign of the times that the culture at most major firms does not even pretend to encourage ethical behavior anymore. the transformation is really stark in tech.
i honestly do not know what major company in america isnt involved in some ghastly shit at this point? i just would not *do* the ghastly shit yourself.
are we shaming people for having worked for companies that did ghastly shit elsewhere but far away organizationally because I'll be the first to say I ran a poop plant for a company that was/is major defense contractor and I'm pretty sure was involved with NEOM and *am* sure works with the UAE

Queer bsky, how old were you when you came out?
bi: realized at 10 but kept quiet
pan: late 20s; realized my attraction spanned all kinds of bodies and identities
nb: 36, after a lot of covid isolation soul-searching
trans woman: right now because this post seems like a real funny way to do that

bi: to myself by 13 (after a bunch of failed rationalizing), and on MySpace by 14 💅
demi: idk exactly, I think I regularly used this term by 19-20?
agender: 30-ish, there wasn't any labeling urgency since I don't have dysphoria and read as male

Bi: uhhh whatever year Black Swan came out. I was 17? maybe? But I realized it in the theater 😅
Non-binary: I believe I was 27? There wasn’t a big moment tbh. I was meeting enbies for the first time in my life and was like, huh, this fits.

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”
It’s very telling that opening your publication to MAGA “thought” requires a massive downgrade in quality control.

In a few months some of you will insist that we MUST vote for him if we value democracy and i am telling you now, no. And idc about your post election diatribes because you thought it would be easier to convince millions of people to vote for the anti-trans guy than to FIND A BETTER CANDIDATE.

i don't think people who extol the individual responsibility to reach across the aisle understand that you can grow up with progressive parents in a progressive city and never have to come out because everyone knew and still get invited by a friend to a youth group to tell you being gay is a sin

starting reorganization and declutter. felt right to start with the computer desk where I’ve done so much work over the last several years. wanted to set up gifts that meant something to me or were attached to strong memories
