Quick intro; Long ago I was the bass player in a little band called The Rosenbergs, then the frontman for another small outfit called Stealing Heather. Now I’m happily married to my best friend, and spend my days tirelessly coding to change the way we manage our health.
Follow if you dare.

Please be very careful about trusting anything that asks for your information. This is why #ICEBlock was 100% anonymous.

There are a lot of bad actors out there. Keep yourself and your family safe. #resist

Attention! Share everywhere. There is a fake "Stop Ice" app. It's trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them. I don't know whether it was created by ICE, or someone else, but that doesn't matter.
Do NOT use stopice./org.

WTAF? Now we’re expelling students who do the right thing and protect their classmates and teachers from tragedy?

Lauren McKenzie @themckenziest.gay · 19d

I’m so mad I could scream.

Have you heard about this little boy who saw another kid with a gun at school, took it from him, disassembled the weapon, removed the bullets to make sure it was safe?

The school fucking expelled him for a year!!! After he prevented another fucking school shooting!!

With Trump declaring ANTIFA a terrorist organization, it bears remembering that he once told us that the MAGA January 6 insurrectionists were ANTIFA.

Happy birthday Kay!!!

Hard to believe it’s been 24 years. I remember turning on the TV, right before the 2nd plane hit.

The events of Sep 11, 2001 united this nation. No matter who you were or what you looked like, we were all brothers and sisters. I’m these dark times we would do well to remember that kind of unity.

While my amazing wife recuperates from surgery we’re rewatching Parks & Rec and just saw the episode with @kayhanley.bsky.social and Letters to Cleo.

Still want that ultra soft Aurora Gory Alice shirt Kay.

Not looking to block you or anyone else. He is on a tirade because we denied his request to open source the code. The server is fine and already running the latest httpd and the app never touches the server anyway. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Ignore him.

This is not about cost. If you militarize every street in this country crime will go down but you are then living in a military state. That is not what this country wants/needs. That is fascism and authoritarian rule and the people will rise up against it. Crime is already down across this nation.

WTAF?

The Trump administration is now seeking to replace PBS with “Prager University,” a far-right propaganda organization that isn’t actually a university.

One of their “kids videos” has Christopher Columbus telling them that slavery was “no big deal” and “better than being killed.”
