We recently crossed $6K/mo in recurring subscriptions 🎉 A nice milestone If I was solo on Blacksky that would be enough for me to make a living full-time on just all of your direct support But this year is about growing and providing for the core team who took/will take risks to work alongside me

A friend's 27 year old daughter, Violet, is missing during a mental health crisis. She has been seen in the Ballard area. Seattle people, PLEASE share this URL and keep an eye out! findviolet.com

I know there are a lot of mutual aid asks coming out of Minneapolis right now, but both of my kids graduated from South High and it would mean a lot to me for people to contribute to this rent fund for my fellow South families. I’ll match the first $1000 if you post receipts. Tiger Pride 🧡🖤

Hi all. I’m working with @ziibiing.com at standwithminnesota.com to get rents paid for Minnesota families impacted by ICE as soon as possible. I’m barnraising $2400 for one campaign. I’ll chip in $25. Please chip in and share this need: V: colocha_rachel $: ColochaRachel Put a 🌻 in the memo.

Hey folks, if you read my recent blog post, you may be surprised to hear this but unfortunately my main source of support has abruptly ended today and I am scrambling to figure out how to replace both boring support (like help with dishes) and emergency support (when I have serious MCAS attacks).

Kate Violette@kateviolette.com · 6mo ago

Genuine q for other folks with MCAS: (please note if you do not have MCAS and reply unhelpfully to this, I will block you for wasting all of our time) If you regularly wake up to anaphylactoid crises in the middle of the night, what is your support strategy? Do you live w/ someone you can wake up?

It’s actually really liberating from the grip of paranoia to assume you’re being read or listened to and act accordingly. If you assume what you say is public, if you don’t want someone to see it or hear it, don’t say it or do it. But if you do say it, say it with your whole chest

Three people I really appreciate following right now are: @mekka.mekka-tech.com, @lookitup.baby, and @lizthegrey.com.

I am so deeply grateful to my patreon supporters, who are enabling me to do the things I want to do, and seem to politely tolerate my occasional videos about old movies or video games. ♥️

whenever i tell friends about robot karaoke they often say they don’t like karaoke because they aren’t good at singing and it’s such a fucking bummer knowing that people i love are loving by the constraint that one can only do a thing for fun if they are “good” at it

Yes. Yes I do remember this.

hey remember when he openly admitted to stalking the streets to attack a random Black person due to unchecked racism and aggression and then society just kinda dropped it, well

Bank of America more than tripled my mortgage payments right before the holidays… If you’re still looking for gifts (or maybe something for yourself), consider buying them from my friendly little game store. Happy to make recommendations! 🥲💖 opalgrovegames.com

If you're trying to ditch NYT Games, which you should be since their games singlehandedly prop up the entire dogshit rag financially, you should switch to Puzzmo. An annual sub is 50% off today for a crazy $19 and as a bonus doesn't enable the genocides of Palestinians and trans people

Apropos of nothing: now would be a real cool time for the CNCF to realize that North America includes both Mexico and Canada and decide that KubeCon NA can be somewhere other than the US Just a thought

i guess whatever ends up happening i very much appreciate the way that so much of what comes out of this campaign offers a positive depiction of what politics can offer to a community instead of just grim attack stuff and fear

I prefer “anti-fascist“ for a host of reasons and this is a nice practical one.

Ify Nwadiwe@ifycomedy.com · 10mo ago

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

fuck vercel, fuck Next.js, fuck Svelte, fuck Turborepo, fuck SWR, fuck SWC Posing with the architect of a genocide for sales leads is an insane and deeply immoral stance these projects cannot separate themselves from the CEO of the company who funds them
