Friends!

❤️ I love supporting our tech (& art) communities through community organizing as well as writing and speaking on tech topics.

HOWEVER, I'm a freelancer so I don't get paid 💸 to do any of this! I'm looking to get sponsors to help make this more sustainable.

Help me hit my goal! Links...

Where do you find light?

I painted this lighthouse in Chania, Crete this morning while thinking about how and where to find hope when all seems dark.

For me, it's by getting space away from the internet and out in nature or getting lost in a painting. How about you?

Does anyone have any resources to help explain to a developmentally disabled adult that they have cancer in an appropriate way? Are there books for this? I’m so overwhelmed

WEBSITES! You can even make them behave like apps if you want to! Very few apps need to be apps at all. Even games in the browser have come a long way.

Derek Powazek @fraying.bsky.social · 5d

Genuinely, the US is quickly sliding into fascism and Google and Apple have proven they are not going to stick up for us when the government gives them unconstitutional orders.

Stop making apps they can remove from their app stories on a whim. Make websites instead. At least make it hard for them.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE.

If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease!

The world has been... too much this week.

Happy that I'm about to have 7 days straight of pure art. State watercolor conference, then a watercolor workshop with a master, and finally a local plein air competition.

See y'all on the other side 👩‍🎨🎨🖌️🫟

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

Just in case you were wondering, Mr. Tailwind CSS himself is all cool with the fashy vibe. (This comes as no surprise to anyone paying any attention for the last several years…he's always palling around with best buddy DHH.)

Replying to @dhh
Fifty people feels like a lot when they are tweeting about how awful someone is but when
you actually see them in a list and realize "oh this is all of them, this is everyone who gives
a shit about this", all the power disappears. Huge self-own.

It's such a terrible mental tax on builders that divisive clowns just ride in and spew these bullshit terms that they clearly don't understand themselves in bad faith.

What Jimmy Kimmel said tonight was amazing. He brought up reproductive justice, our new dept of war, housing, healthcare. He called it what it is authoritarianism. And millions of people can't watch it

This is an absolutely terrific piece from @texastribune.org and reinforces my belief that the best coverage of right-wing cancelations occur at the local level, after years of the national media focusing on threats from the left.

How a secret recording of a gender identity lecture upended Texas A&M

Officials have struggled to detail the exact reasons for the A&M professor’s termination, citing a technical issue with her course description. Faculty say the move was politically motivated.
