I'm operating on the assumption that the Internet Archive itself won't be available in the long term. It's too much a single point of failure — and thus an obvious target — for so much of our history. If there's anything there you consider precious or irreplaceable, download your own copy now.

On day one Trump's EO said we were harmful to kids. On day two, it said we were dishonorable and disloyal. On day three, it said we were unAmerican.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

When they make you a criminal just for existing as yourself, then the entirety of the law no longer has any claim on your obedience. You are then bound only by your own conscience.

I've been feeling this a lot lately as someone who helped build an early dialup ISP in the 90s. It seemed like connection across divides was going to lead to so much good change. The global village and all that.
But now look at us.
This was my "farewell" video on TikTok to that same effect.

Bluesky doesn't support audio files, and video files are limited to 60 seconds. Guess I'll just keep posting my music over on Mastodon.
I love making music but rarely find time to turn little sketches into something finished. Here's last night's bit of synthiness anyway: tech.lgbt/@autumn/1137...

The Detroit Public Library is such an amazingly beautiful and reverent place.

Michigan folks — if you already have a library card in your home city, show it at the DPL circulation desk and they'll give you a Detroit library card for free.

This has been a really difficult month for a number of reasons, and I'm finding that at least right now I'm having a hard time focusing while working alone at home.
So today I rode my bike to the library and am working from one of the study rooms.
