You are much more resilient than you think. You've made it this far, haven't you? Whatever lies ahead of you, your doubts will give way to glory. You are a true warrior, and I would be proud to stand with you.

When you finally confront the person who is ruining your life.

It's the weekend, baby

Last month, I saw this wonderfully entertaining process video of artist Cat Graffam recreating Goya's "Saturn Devouring His Son" in Mario Paint. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJSx7q-Mt0c

I loved it so much, I bought it… in the form of the original Mario Paint cartridge she made it on. It's my new favorite possession. Digital art ownership with provenance and scarcity, no blockchain required!

Oh no

“What do you do?”
I’m a cartoonist.
“But what do you do for money?”
I draw comics.
“No like, what’s your job?”

Today I learned from @0xabad1dea that a lot of large solar farm owners use sheep herds to maintain their grass and they're called solarpunk grazers and life seems a little better. 🤘

Just a reminder that yesterday four Republicans in the West Virginia legislature introduced a bill that would make being openly trans in the presence of a minor child a felony punished by five years in prison.

There are 10 phases to a genocide. This puts the US at phase 6.

One day after quoting MLK on MLK Day, Florida MAGA Gov Ron DeSantis cancels AP African American Studies Program, saying it ‘Lacks Educational Value’

This is literally white supremacist talking points & a reminder how much these people still hate MLK today.

Indeed, DeSantis banning AP African American Studies is a reminder of that old quote -- White privilege is when your history is the curriculum and every other history is an elective.
#BlackMastodon

You know, I understand why people who have built up community on Twitter stay post-Musk (esp #BlackTwitter), why people put up with the #enshittification of Facebook & Instagram because their offline friends are there. I get it. But- the naked truth is no matter how much social media became the default public square in the last decade, they’re all private platforms owned by people who (at the very least) are tolerant of fascism. Whether you stay or go, we all have to come to terms with that now.

I maintain that everyone in IT needs to know this •one• Yiddish word and use it often.

Farpotshket: Broken, because someone tried to fix it.

Some people believe there's no purpose to "liking" something on Mastodon since it doesn't affect any algorithm.

Not the case.

It does something incredibly valuable: it acknowledges people.

Which is incredibly powerful, and is all the more important *because* it's not connected to gaming any algorithm.

By liking something on Mastodon, you are doing it honestly -- without any agenda at play other than that you like it.

So go ahead. Click that like button for its own sake.
