I will break my “owls only” rule to thank you for standing up for the only part of my life that is not privileged. I promise next time I’ll be back to owlply guy.

That, sir, is eminently bookmarkletable.

Make a bookmark named "Bust paywall" with this as its path:

Had such a great time at #ATmosphereConf I forgot to take any useful pictures, so my commute photos will have to do.

So many great talks, looking forward to tomorrow!

My TV has a color fidelity problem due to OLED burn in that somehow conflicts with his makeup. I took this picture the other day. The color of his ear and temple and eye is what most white people look like on my TV.
