the foundation of my radical cause in my increasingly old age is that I want everyone to be ok. Consulting open source program manager focusing on governance and crisis comms. JD with an LL.M in cybercrime, cybersecurity and international law #PDX

If I was to consider a Cookbook Reading gathering in August, would that be an interesting thing? (In person, PDX) You bring something you're interested in, doesn't mean you have to be in love with it.

You know that trend where women on social media find the mom of a guy who is sending them terrible comments and show the mom the comments, I'm going to do that but it's going to be finding the daughters of the retired men of tech who pile into my mentions

That thing where you plant a thing and then you wait and then like 7 years later it becomes true? Yeah, I have too many figs.

One of my inboxes houses 'portents of impending doom'. Previously, I would have read this and gone, 'How fascinating. This is so academic and esoteric, it will never be a relevant piece of knowledge. This could be really interesting!' Today, I'm now going to eye the news for the next few months.

Good morning from someone who was so happy this morning and now has all the anxiety from roof cleaning. Sigh.

A golden dog in a forest waiting for a ball to be thrown.

Everyone coming on my feed and explaining to me that all is lost, I note what I have noted before, that there are no Negro Spirituals entitled, “Welp, I Guess It All Sucks and I Am Giving Up.”

Portland, a reminder about the upcoming spider season. Walking into a spider is considered good luck in our culture. It's extra special good luck if you take it in the face.

I really don’t think anyone has priced in how much appetite there is on our side for a politics of pure revenge, justice dispensed in wholesale rather than at retail

Zoom, first you try to give me another inbox and now you try to give me a referral code. I am not going to be an influencer, those people can be bought.
