Hatred shared - I hated myself for being so bullied. Like gum in hair where I had to get a buzz cut, people peed on my gym clothes, etc. Got upset my name es español because I am latine. But I some how still held on to these people and … this is what #ignorance #power looks like

Here are a few for now. And yes they do take like gañe the bed and my partner and I get to fight for the rest of the space.

A dear friend got me the cutest Axolotl light and I cannot sleep because my head is full of good trouble to quote a really awesome powerful leader … ai might just knit but my partner is sleeping like a truck on me. So alas here I be.

Proud of MI ESPOSO and fighting for #CHICAGO also I voted for @thepsf.bsky.social and proud of that too. And did a talk with local youth about the dangers of AI on the environment … and boxed. And ran 10k. All in a day of me.

Mandatory joyful #cat photos. Stay positive. It’s weird times but we don’t give up. And we also take care of ourselves first (because YOU yes YOU are the most important so YOU can do what YOU can do).

Btw my ginger #MaineCoon is named Red XIV. If you know the reference I enjoy thee.

Happy FriYAY

Returning to post more cute kitty photos. The news in my area in regards to ICE and gross incompetency increasing - I have [insert blank because no need to publicize] - exponentially because of the amount of folks I fear for is stressful but nothing vs what they have to face - so #cats #mainecoons

“In tech .. 4 constraints [disciplining enshittifaction] ..” that have been destroyed
1. Markets “lacking competition too big to fail too big to jail”
2. Regulation ❌
3. Interoperability eg US Digital Millennia Copyright Act 👉🏼 reverse engineering a felony
4. Labor 📉 layoffs
