Having Gemini forced into my email, docs and sheets got me looking for alternatives.

This latest update from Google has sealed it for me. I'll be migrating to @proton.me very soon. www.wired.com/story/google...

As a Canadian, I have to admit that I am relieved that Trudeau has been dealing with Trump. If it had been PP representing Canada, he would have given the big Cheeto whatever he wanted.

So Target got real comfy thinking us millennial moms won’t take our basic girl bits to Costco & Aldi after they cut DEI programs to satisfy the new administration.

Big mistake. Huge.

It’s been inspiring to see everyone come together for LA,,, but there’s one community I need to highlight.

Not enough is being done for the black families after the LA fires. Ive partnered up with GoFundMe and the BMAC to create ONE main GoFundMe campaign to immediately help those in need.

The TikTok ban, the Musk Twitter takeover, the Facebook moderation policy changes, the Republicans’ rapidly intensifying crackdowns on speech... let these be the proof you needed to move anything you care about online to a space you control.

Digital sovereignty is more important than ever.
