You can still follow me, but I'll probably post stuff about open source, gaming, and science fiction, if I ever actually post again.

Thank you again to everyone out there! Another year down, another million raised, and so many people who will be helped because of what you've done with us this year and every other! We couldn't do this without you, and through all the laughs and the tears, we wouldn't want it any other way...

@nightvaleradio.bsky.social I'm at jury duty today as indicated on the community calendar and it's nothing like what Cecil described. I'm very disappointed.

Government’s wins are often invisible: Systems that avoid plane crashes; alliances that avert war; surveillance that prevent pandemics.
Government wins are often *the avoidance of loss.*
So how do we tell the story of the destruction of government? The story of future losses *not* averted?

Trump is bailing out corrupt Democrats because it gives him leverage over them. The conflict of interest means the Mayor needs to be immediately removed from office by @govkathyhochul.bsky.social. Whether or not he ever did, Mayor Adams no longer works for the people of NYC. He now works for Trump.
Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.
This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

🧵The decision to change “LGBTQ” to “LGB” on the Stonewall National Monument page is yet another example of the Trump administration’s blatant attempts to discriminate against and erase the legacies of transgender and queer Americans.
The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument.
Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed.
3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened.
Erasure.

The “T” was removed in references to L.G.B.T.Q.+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights. Later, the Q+ also disappeared.

Make no mistake, one of the most popular apps in the world was just down in the U.S. for 14 hours because Donald Trump ordered that it be taken down. Why? So he could be seen as a hero in “saving” it.

I've been thinking about a move from Facebook, where I live mostly in groups, to Bluesky. I've taken a few steps in that direction, but just browsing today I think it's not going to work out for the same reason I never belonged on Twitter. I need a place where communities are centered. Maybe Reddit?
