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).
I did it! My primary new year's resolutions are now 1920×1080px, 2736×1824px, and 1080×2092 + 2208×1840px! Happy new year!

OK, I just finally watched #Marvel #Thunderbolts, and WTF? That was really good!! I heard so little about it when it came out, and I assumed it was just another in that streak of not-incredibly-great Marvel movies, and now I am disappointed I went to see those and not this one!

This makes sense. Here in Massachusetts, I continue to push for public ownership of our public utilities. We cannot pit affordability against climate justice. We need affordability AND a just transition away from fossil fuels. Public ownership can help facilitate this in a big way. ✅

The US is at war with Venezuela.

No Congressional authorization, no public debate, no clearly stated goal, no casus belli, and a gradual ramp up rather than big opening, so many haven’t noticed (or deny it). But this attack removes the ambiguity.

US is at war with Venezuela. With no end in sight.

Less than a week after they were installed, many of the flex posts on the BU bridge have been destroyed by vehicles. Appreciate the thought but cyclists clearly need more protection at these intersections.
