just as a PSA, I use this account mostly to follow a few people and keep an eye on news. I lean into community-owned social media these days, I'm wary of US-based infrastructure, and I really don't like bluesky management.

if you'd like to chat, links are in bio—or just send me an email.
we have merch.

I drop in here from time to time but honestly, life is too short to commit to yet another US-based communication infrastructure.

I suppose my overall take on this platform is that it struggles in the unresolved tension between a technolibertarian founding impulse and a confusing, emergent imperative to nurture, protect and respond to the communities that have made a home here along the way, almost accidentally.
