Hi! Right now I'm probably coding, listening to music on my headphones, writing some music, and/or sipping some espresso whilst subconsciously creating my next silly pun. Atheist, father, humanist, musician, liberal, strong believer in kindness. He/him

Meta has removed or restricted dozens of accounts belonging to abortion access providers, queer groups and reproductive health organizations in the past weeks in what campaigners call one of the “biggest waves of censorship” on its platforms in years.

Pretty rich from a nation of immigrants. We all have to come from somewhere, stop criminalizing movement of people.
For months, the Social Security Administration was quietly sharing sensitive data about immigrants with DHS. Now it’s official.

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

This year, in between work and doomscrolling, I've been busy writing a #stringquartet because I felt the world could use more of them. Three movements (not sure yet if there will be a fourth).

In response to President Trump's demand that K-12 schools sign certification against “DEI programs” to receive federal funding, Minnesota Department of Education Commissioner says he will NOT sign, as it would "unilaterally overrule the will of Congress."

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired.
It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

After years of alarm over unelected bureaucrats pulling the strings, what better example can you find than this moment the US government is in? DOGE is the thing it claims to fear the most. Elon Musk is the problem he purportedly wants to solve.

My coworkers and I were fired for being "a coven of transgenders and queers"
Same reasoning used during McCarthyism's Lavender Scare: the assumption that queer people cannot be nonpartisan civil servants as the law requires. We are criminal by definition.

The mass firing of federal tech workers at 18F is one of DOGE's most overtly political acts yet
The federal digital services team 18F had a diverse workforce and openly inclusive policies. That's why DOGE killed it.
