I’m spending this week with my godmother, who is a 94 year old Holocaust refugee. She says “I didn’t escape Nazi Germany to deal with a country like this. The Nazis were scary, but at least you knew what to expect. This government is worse.”

tech is political. community management is political. human needs are political. you can’t build for humans and avoid politics.

Jason Garcia has been in the ICU since September 2 for a perforated appendix and needs funds to cover their hospitalization and recovery. I really can’t overstate how good people Jason is. They always show up for everyone in need with so much care. Now it’s our turn to show up and care for them! ❤️‍🩹

Hi friends: if someone says you snore a ton, go get a sleep study, even if you feel rested and wake up with energy. I've always felt like that & apparently my sleep apnea is SUPER, SUPER, SUPER severe; we're doing a follow-up sleep study. At times my O2 saturation was as low as 53%

We have our big weekly event tomorrow where people come get showers, hot food, groceries, harm reduction, clothes, camping supplies, and consult with resource navigators - who can help get some extra snacks for people who have been too traumatized this week?

As the world continues to be a terrible place, I need you all to know that my friend's dinosaur-obsessed one-year-old saw dinosaurs with feathers at the Natural History Museum and now calls them "fluffy rar-rars". FLUFFY RAR-RARS.

The inherent problem that we, as a nation, are stuck in is the inherent problem that anyone who has ever been trapped in an abusive relationship is intimately familiar with: you cannot "win" against an abuser because they will always be more angry, more petulant, more violent than you are.

The tumblr post about RMS Carpathia reminded me of one of my favorite paintings ive ever done of an ocean liner

Minneapolis needs to take a housing first approach to homelessness. Without a well-resourced, compassionate, and resident-focused approach, the conditions for violence in encampments will continue to exist. Tragedies like the one last night are completely avoidable.

A thought I keep returning to is that a legacy corporation or a deep-pocketed investor-backed startup could hire an astonishing array of talent trying to leave the United States right now and make the best tech company in the world overnight.

At the rate we're going, planes are going to start getting measles again. Planes haven't suffered measles since World War II.

being trans is awesome and trans people are amazing and gender is a dumb box and anyone who makes their own crowbar to smash it from inside is a hero actually.

I've committed like, large percentages of my life to practical service to a better society - an entire military career mostly in disaster response, years of career education and mentoring, free student clinics, coaching young people, securing infrastructure. I refuse to be performatively polite.

Now is your chance to demonstrate that all my promotion is pointless. Because #n4sa2e is live. mwl.io/ks

“that transness can be more than just an exercise in mimicking modes of living that were never meant for us”

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

Maybe not my forever fav but it always makes me laugh. AND has good advice.

Sure sounds like something Hillel wrote 😁

They’ll ask you to mourn the deaths they mourn, and no others. They’ll ask you to cherish the lives they cherish, and no others.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

This Is My Hole! It Was Made For Me!
