I used to make websites (Blogger, JPG Mag, Fray). I wrote the book “Design for Community.” Now I grow flowers and keep animals at milkbarn.farm.

Also the writing just made me sad. The campy villian calling the captain "HOT!" The "I'm (a species you've never heard of), bitch!" line they liked so much they had to use it twice.

Yeah we’ve gotta do better.

I guess what I’m saying is: the fascists are making plans. We should make plans, too.

It’d be more productive than fighting about who is most naive about how bad things are right now.
