@ericmigi.com I have a de-googled Pixel, and a Light Phone 3 that is running bare Android, (and a few other free-from-Google Androids). No Google Play Services but can sideload apks and have access to the Aurora Store.
Do the new Pebbles require Google Play Services or just the app?

Every few months I’ll download BlueSky then realize I don’t have much worth posting on social media. Maybe just Tribble #cat pics will suffice?

A president encouraging and excusing violence on his behalf isn't nearly as concerning to the mainstream media as the masses making dark jokes about violence that they perceive is on their behalf.

I might be alone on this, but I’m fairly certain cabinet officials shouldn’t continue to be CEOS of large companies; Supreme Court justices shouldn’t be accepting lavish gifts from billionaires, and former presidents accused of stealing government secrets shouldn’t have access to them again.

This is essential stuff.For those of us who are not gonna be organizers in the traditional sense.There are many strategies listed here that are ways to build communities that are robust, connected, & capable of protection/action that are also sources of pleasure & joy(undersung political resources).

it is not lost on me that after nearly two years of bluesky's existence with the majority of that being an extremely trans positive space that the transphobic journalists are all clamoring to paper over that history.
this does NOT need to be twitter 2. social media CAN be good if we make it good.

Freely admit that it's perhaps just me being oversensitive, but got to say it's a bit gross seeing a lot of mostly cishet folk talking about how BlueSky has only just come alive and / or still doesn't serve a purpose when there's been a fairly active queer community the entire time I've been here.

Just finished “The Attention Merchants” by Tim Wu. What an excellent book!
Looking for more books that are critical on either advertising or against #bigtech after finishing both this and “Surveillance Capitalism”. Give me some book recommendations that promote a #digitaldetox

While stopped at a gas station in the south, I was a feeling little self conscious of how messy my hair was between barely sleeping, the wind, and traveling. Went up to the counter and the clerk told me my hair was “very pretty”.

I don’t do social media much but if I do it should probably stick to here and Mastodon. I’ve been mostly using a #dumbphone lately, and am quite fond of the HMD Barbie which keeps me off the internet. Can’t wait for the #lightphone to have a dumb phone paired with a great camera though.

Three year transplant #anniversary today! 🎉
Also 1200 days #sober 🎉
I am so grateful for having these days. I see every day, every year, as a bonus time I almost didn't have.
More days to enjoy the sun, more days with my wife and cats, more days to be on the water.
