I think it’s really important to think of the broader picture that AI paints. I live in the backyard of one of the largest clusters of data centers on the East Coast. The environmental impact of AI is only beginning to be talked about and tech is turning a blind eye to this consequence.

Stop saying "AI is just a tool and it only matters how it is used." I'm tired. I'm so tired of reading, hearing, and seeing this phrase/argument. It doesn't only matter how a tool is used, but how it is made, governed, and the impact it has on our world. We must shape tools before they shape us.

100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises. But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up. It's up to us to demand something better.

18F has been working behind the scenes across the past couple of presidential administrations to improve US citizen access to services and vital information at a fraction of the cost to the US taxpayer. This is exactly what the Musk people hate and want to disassemble.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

For #WorldHippoDay, here’s the long side of the Nilotic atrium mosaic from the House of the Faun in #Pompeii. Hippo vs. croc, with lots of ducks, lotus flowers, a mongoose and cobra, plus a couple of swamp hens and ibises. Open it up to see more. Fabulous. 1st century BCE. #MANN (inv. 9990). 📸 me

From the central atrium of the House of the Faun (VI, 12, 2) in Pompeii, one of three large pieces of a 'Nilotic' mosaic, showing a pinkish-colored hippopotamus, a mongoose and cobra, ducks, ibises, a crocodile, and lotus plants. In other words, a crowded day on the Nile! The incipient fight between the hippo and croc - as top predators on the river - brings the drama. Most of the lotus plants are in bud, and a couple of ducks are eating the blooms. 1st century BCE. Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli (MANN inv. 9990 (b))

When I feel like I’m losing control of the moment, it’s important to: 1) Breathe deeply 2) Minimize focus on the sphere of concern 3) Get informed in small doses 4) Maximize focus and action on my sphere of influence in my community

I am nonbinary. The gender that no longer officially exists in the United States. I was offered the chance to change my gender designation to "X" on my passport and driver's license in 2023. I decided not to and here's why.
