I didn’t really intend it for this and it makes me sad… but my new Charlotte, NC feed has been really useful in keeping track of ICE fuckery in my area.

Few know it’s actually a command.
“Get right to work.”
“Get right to work.”
"Right to work" is a euphemism for "giving employers the right to abuse workers."

I might've gone a little overboard, but here's 3,500 words on social media, how to make it better, what's so awesome about Bluesky's protocol, and why I'm particularly excited about @leaflet.pub as showing the future of publishing. (Plus some feature suggestions to make Leaflet damn near perfect.)

@leaflet.pub is one of the coolest things I’ve seen on bsky. I’ve always been intrigued by Substack but never used it because I didn’t care for the “walled garden”.

We wrote a quick letter, on Substack, to Substack creators — a call for anyone similarly tired of publishing trending toward walled garden social platforms:
Join us on a more open network & publishing ecosystem!

Took our first family trip to my favorite place - the mountains of NC to see the fall leaves 🍁 Stayed in a really cute cabin by a river and we hit the leaf change timing perfectly!
(And traveling with a newborn is the hardest thing I’ve ever done 😅)

Been a while! I had a baby and have been BUSY. Haven’t had a ton of opportunities to get out but here’s some #photography over the last few months.
Outside of “work” work I’ve changed my process a bit so I don’t have to edit so much. I’m using Sony’s picture profiles to get some nice SOOC jpegs.

I moved all the news accounts I followed into a list and unfollowed them yesterday. My intention was just to get a little mental space.
A side effect I didn’t consider was that I can see so many more posts of the actual people I follow now. I didn’t realize how much the news spammed my feed.
