I am barely seen on here but... IF you are into mesh radio and IF you are into MeshCore and IF you have a Lilygo T-Deck GO FLASH THE FRESH WADAMESH FIRMWARE IMMEDIATELY. It's head and shoulders better over anything else for touchscreen. Gorgeous. Delicious. Do it. #meshcore #meshradio

I was on a call with the hottest people I know and my phone couldn’t handle it. @alpenglow.bsky.social @lasermistress.bsky.social @jumperless.org

Might as well ask, I'm at a loss and in a financial hole. Anyone know of a flexible, chill, part time gig that pays well? Not looking for more than 10-15 hours a wk. I'm a contractor, and my skills list is pretty outrageous. I'll hear anything out but I especially dislike anything "social media".

We need: -Wire cutters (not nippers!). We clean rust -Nice-ish Raspberry Pis, mini computers, larger external hard drives and accessories. We teach about Kiwix, cyberdecks and more -Meshtastic hardware ⬇️

Hey nerds 😎 I'm fundraising for my incredibly cool femme/queer electronics camp that's holding on by bloodied teeth this year. Find it in my bio and thread below. BUT ALSO we take supplies. Specific tools, electronics, supplies. List in replies.

Both the Wall Street Journal and The Information confirming that OpenAI is killing Sora - both the app and *access to its video-generating model for developers*. This is a huge move that suggests things are a bit desperate www.wsj.com/tech/ai/open... www.theinformation.com/articles/ope...

Don't worry, America. We foresaw every possible attack scenario from Iran except the most obvious one. via @violetblue.bsky.social's Cybersecurity newsletter www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/i...

Iran appears to have conducted a significant cyberattack against a U.S. company, a first since the war started

The company, Stryker, said a cyberattack disrupted its “Microsoft environment.”

More progress on designing a soldering kit badge this year for my femme/queer electronics camp. Compliments please, I'm very very tired and pushing super hard and could use them.

Sometimes what I'm asking of misogyny and men's role in it is so simple Put other people first. When you really want credit and attention. When credit involves you. Give it up. Abdicate Leave the spotlight. Truly, not performatively, point it elsewhere. Let go of "fair". And your own insecurities

Designing a new learn-to-solder PCB art badge for my electronics camp thereuglow.club. The last four years we've used a glow bug design created by @drc3p0.bsky.social. The new badge will have three LEDs. Pink, white, blue. Trans guillotines ya'll. Queers, design detail ideas please. ✨Audacity✨.

It's a mystery to me how sharing raw thoughts online went from a AuDHD need, basically medical, to being hugely off-putting in the last two years. Of course I could pick apart why. But it's just so frustrating and painfully impactful. I don't have that community anymore. Structurally devastating.

“We’re not fucking around in the dream space anymore,” @lasermistress.bsky.social says “This is a particularly fucking fraught time. But we are still going to live our lives.” a look at the crafters and makers pushing back against ICE who say resistance is practical www.wired.com/story/makers...

Makers Are Building Back Against ICE

In hacker spaces and at their homes, creative protesters are laser-cutting and 3D-printing tools to resist an occupation.

The ICE surge ending is just false spring! Don't put away the whistles, don't put away the shovels!

everybody this is my bestie Claire, she drips so much awesomeness i have to mop the floors afterwards. please check out the greater thread and consider throwing her a few bucks. she's doing the Good Work. 💖🫶 (+she promotes women and gender diverse folks in tech, a constant battle for inclusion)

Queer babe here making Fuck Ice zines+whistles & rapidly distributing to a wide PNW circle + Designed lasercut Fuck Ice earrings, opened the file, cutting & assembling to give out & fundraise + Updating my DIY Handheld Light Graffiti Projector tutorial while making many for local activists More ⏬

I am hopelessly obsessed with viral protest tactics. Passed gen to gen. Now spread globally overnight. Occupy: camp out, stay. Hong Kong: leaf blowers, cones+water, clear infographics with roles. Chicago: whistle codes. Minnesota: full city decentralized protection networks. #fuckice

Now that the White House is using AI to edit photos of their political opponents to create fascist propaganda I’m wondering if anyone could have seen this use of AI coming. Okay I’m hearing lots of people did and they were forced to watch corporations smother the masses with the technology anyways

I've talked to people on the ground about the strike here tomorrow, and the single thing everyone brings up is just how shockingly wide the support for the strike is. Businesses that no one would have expected to support it are doing so.

Thomas Leeper@thosjleeper.bsky.social · 7mo ago

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I really need to find some fuckin place to write and be seen online again. I built and rebuilt that and the platforms are all blown apart or zombified and I just don't have it in me to do it again. And I don't seem to have what people want where I am without changing my tone or content anymore.

Good summary of the problems with substack here: lithub.com/the-case-aga...

The case against Substack. (ICYMI)

Should I switch from Patreon to Substack? Writing is my offering. Patreon sucks in many ways but it is fully functional and well known and adopted. I don't know Substack as well and don't know if it has higher adoption/access/ability. Opinions? Especially if you have actually used both. 🤔

How Portland Oregon am I? I just automatically unironically they/themed my car during a oil change because they haven't told me otherwise.

Women really can do anything 🤩

ICYMI: The New York Times is done with women

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo
