I consider the oral history of @kickstarterunited.org a foundational resource for organizing in the tech industry and I hope our stories from unionizing at Mapbox can be too: www.kickstarter.com/projects/cla...

It's so punishingly obvious that many left-liberal types feel completely unrestrained in petty displays of sadism and hierarchal reaffirmation against trans people at this point. Grueling to watch your nominal allies hold their fingers to the wind and decide they can hurt you.

Yo, @davidruigu.bsky.social how much did you spend on curated address data to mail physical prints of a LinkedIn post? It'd be dope if I never received mail from you ever again.

Ah, the indignity of being asked to perform enthusiasm for deskilling my own labor.

A project I've been involved with the past few years is almost done, but it needs funding to get over the hump. I'm physically incapable of fundraising, so instead I wrote up a brief post about what it is and why it would great if you threw the project a few dollars. cyberb.space/notes/2026/a...

At least I’ll always have spite for the Supreme Court to keep me going.

Another day of testing my capacity for cognitive dissonance in exchange for money and health insurance.

When people see folks drowning and feel powerless and ill-equipped to save them, they sometimes fight over how to describe the water. It's worth resisting this impulse.

ACT UP, 1990

In 2020 my coworkers and I started talking to each other about how to fix what wasn’t working with our jobs and protect what we loved about them. Almost a year later, we lost a hard fought union campaign. I learned a lot in between. My piece in Reboot this week: joinreboot.org/p/nearest-ne...

Man, I've been on Twitter for 15 years. Don't know what the hell my alternative of choice is, probably nothing.
