Greetings! I am not sure how much I will use this platform alongside others, but I am excited to get to explore it!
I design and program software and games, enjoy sci-fi, and do some political activism.
You can also find me at @ZMYaro on most other socials (especially mastodon.social).

“They really shouldn't let those small cars drive in traffic. I worry I'm going to kill someone if I hit one! They should have to drive on the sidewalk, safely out of the way.”

Drivers stop at crosswalks in Poland now because they passed presumed liability, and they ran a public awareness campaign to promote it. The driver is presumed to be at fault if they hit a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
The zebra stripes in Poland have magical power that the ones in America don’t. Even on a fast divided highway, a pedestrian in the shadows, well back from the curb, can stop traffic.

I feel as though a lot of people see the amount of volunteer activist work I do, and when I say they should get involved, they think I mean they should also do an unhealthy, unsustainable amount. I don't want 39 new recruits doing 40 hours a week too; I want us to each take 1!

I understand why the oldest @mbta.com trains sometimes have disabled cars, but why does one of the new ones? CRRC's gift keeps on giving¡ 😑

Apparently it has been TEN years since possibly my favorite political episode of #DoctorWho and the one that made Twelve possibly my favorite Doctor.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Wait until you hear about roads and highways for cars
So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Last night’s results reaffirm that street safety is a shared community priority; that kids biking to school, commuters heading to work, and neighbors running errands all deserve safety, dignity, and peace of mind on our streets.

So, all the Corporate Democrats who said Dems can only win by by "running to the center," or "siding with Israel on Gaza" or "not being distracted by the Trans issue," should shut up & have the humility to listen.
Zohran is what happens when you run FOR justice rather than just against Trump.

Zohran Mamdani won young men 18-29 by 40 points.
40!
And he did so by standing FOR economic justice, FOR Trans rights, FOR immigrant rights, FOR labor rights, FOR Palestinian rights, & FOR diversity—& still unapologetically dunking on Trump.
He is anti-MAGA w/o throwing people under the bus.
