populating . . .

I might be here. Might be on Mastodon. Might be (reluctantly) on Threads.

I’ll see you around, somewhere.

Vive le Fediverse.

We report from high in the clouds, where there is warmth in the perishing light, and where things move fast in a way that makes sense. For this little while, we do not think about the tiredness of dark days, and the languor that the cold has wrapped our bones in.

We report: there is enough fog that we keep wondering whether there is something wrong with our eyes. We could easily get lost in there. The landmarks we take note of disappear in short distance, and we do not see them whenever we retrace our steps. Luckily, we are not lost.

I’m beginning to understand why the right is so wary of the government attacking its own citizens, and the need to arm ourselves to fight back.

Funny how quiet they are about it when it’s actually happening.

Trump talks about Denmark and Greenland just now: "The fact that they landed a boat there 500 years ago doesn't mean that they own the land."

This is one of my favourite Japanese prints, I love the atmosphere and sense of tranquillity. I was lucky enough to be able to visit Chionin Temple when I was last in Japan and I've included some photos in the reply below.

There are concerns regarding the glassy interface of #iOS26 and readability. I would like to remind everyone that Apple has been a leader in accessibility for years. There's a toggle called "Reduce Transparency" and this is the effect it has in the first #iOS26beta. I can only assume more is coming.

A lot of bad things have happened to me over the past few days. But no matter what's getting me down, WWDC never fails to excite me and lift my spirits.

Finally, the week is over.

I'm excited to see what happens at #WWDC.

Anyone else remember a time when the Supreme Court made decisions based on long-term consequences across all parties and situations instead of doing whatever helps the current president acquire as much power as possible? How can we not be begging for a dictatorship at this point?

Millions of folks don't know they are on Medicaid because their state calls it a different name.

Democrats could do more to spread this information around.

Below is a chart with the names Medicaid is called in each state.

I added ALT-TEXT to make it more accessible.

PLEASE SHARE EVERYWHERE!!
