He/him, cishet, white male. Not rich, prolly a bit neurodivergent, but otherwise painfully aware of being a walking privilege stereotype.
General geek, intermittent worldbuilder, timid, socially awkward. Can't say I won't bite, but I usually don't mean to

Ever been so disillusioned by how a site treats its users that you share a post about a project you started, and a month later it has become a grassroots effort to reshape what it means to be a social media platform?

This seems like a reasonable question, @wyden.senate.gov . I might ask the same of my own senators: @alsobrooks.senate.gov , @vanhollen.senate.gov
@wyden.senate.gov On behalf of my fellow OR CASA advocates: Why is CASA having federal grants terminated, and how exactly is a program that advocates for abused and neglected children not, ya know, "protecting American children"? Make it make sense please.

National CASA/GAL federal funding terminated
Without these funds, the work of CASA/GAL programs across the country will be impacted along with more than 200,000 children...

BREAKING: We're suing to block the Trump administration from requiring artists who apply to the National Endowment for the Arts for funding to have to attest they won't use any funds to "promote” what the government deems to be “gender ideology."

After Green interrupted last night, another Democrat should have done the same thing. And then another, until all of them had to be removed. Delay the speech by a few hours. Or walk out en masse. Anything.
Calling Trump an existential threat means nothing if you can’t meet the fucking moment.

The House GOP just passed a draconian budget resolution, but despite GOP misinformation, this is just a blueprint, not a final bill. That means there’s still time to push back against proposed Medicaid cuts and tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. Here’s what you need to know. 👇
The Budget Blueprint Is No 'Big, Beautiful Bill'
At best, it’s a concept of a plan. But then they’ll try to spin it to voters.

THIS is what Trump wanted.
"Keir Starmer handed Donald Trump a letter from the king, the BBC is reporting. It’s an invitation for a state visit.
Trump has already had one state visit to the UK and there is no precedent for a head of state making a second one."

If Cuomo actually wins, we all need to collectively write New York off. They are the friend in the group who always goes back to the toxic ex and then wants to cry about it at lunch and get everybody to go key his car. Yeah, I'm not doing that, Brenda.
