Hearing about republicans today made me remember to check my grindr dms. Feels like a historic shift on a gay map somewhere.

Thank you! I love the album part. So happy you listened and liked the book too
@sawpoet.bsky.social’s work is meant to be performed. The superb Infinite Audition does its best to approximate the experience, with a section of monologues c/w casting directions & another with a QR code to a background Bandcamp soundtrack. So get the book, yes. But see him live if you can.

I have been so unsocial here. Apologies the world is so overwhelming. Love to @wired.com magazine for the article on the creation of Bluesky. A reminder that it's important to support platforms that are run by boss rebel femmes

I love this
I’ve come to the conclusion that the best case scenario is to have nearby neighbor volunteers “adopt” a seed dispersal station.
If you live in Philadelphia and are willing to adopt a station, which involves checking it every day and refilling with seed packs (that I will provide), lmk.

I love @wired.com I started a subscription when I had a freelance job writing for e-comm and it's so rad while making the tech world less confusing
They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy
