I did my shot!

"get back to building" Your politics is advocating for the death of me and all the people I love most in the world.

I cannot express how wild this quote is. This is a top tech analyst at a well-regarded firm saying that there is not enough capital to actually pay for all the stuff that NVIDIA and OpenAI has promised. It is so important that everybody realizes that *there is not enough money to do this*

me

quite apart from the question of whether speech is violence, the specific movement dhh recently voiced support for is known for actively trying to kill people by burning down the hotels they are housed in

I continue to fund @hanamirb.org because I believe in @timriley.info as a leader who will create communities that welcome everyone, not just a select few. He, to me, represents the heart of Ruby and I am proud to support him and Hanami.

if anyone is interested in a "head of engineering" shaped role at a fast growing, ruby based, series b startup, let me know! I have a lead that I think is pretty solid.

One thing I can say is this is the most fractured and unstable I've seen the Ruby community in 15+ years of participation. It feels like the future of Ruby is uncertain and that is _very_ bad for the language and ecosystem.

The merger is now public andre.arko.net/2025/09/25/b...

It's going to be a long week in Ruby land, but at this point I fully believe Ruby Central is in the wrong here.

I wrote a post explaining why I’m not signing the DHH letter and why I’m building a full-stack Ruby web framework from scratch. joel.drapper.me/p/plan-vert/

Bundler belongs to the Ruby community andre.arko.net/2025/09/25/b...

That's exactly why they hate it :)

HEY CIS PEOPLE IN AMERICA CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND TELL THEM NOT TO CAVE ON TRANS RIGHTS IN THE SHUTDOWN BILL. PLEASE. If you've ever enjoyed spending time with me, or benefitted from any of my open source work or conference talks, PLEASE DO THIS.

Just to be clear, Ruby Central has not taken money from DHH/Basecamp.

Also, not for nothing, but the board is made up of volunteers trying their best and not some mysterious evil overlords. We felt this was in the best interest of the people who use our infrastructure, and we do want to work with the community on next steps.

Obviously there's a lot of speculation flying around right now. I haven't seen anything that concretely shows me Ruby Central took money from DHH/basecamp.

IF YOU WANT TO SUPPORT TRANS PEOPLE and you're not really sure how. First off, listen to trans people they will inform you how to support. Second, DONATE MONEY TO STRUGGLING TRANS PEOPLE Trans people, drop your links below. Now you know how the rest of us, cis, feel with everything.

show me the clock

Regarding the Kirk assassination: I don't wish violence on anyone but i'm not sad about his death. -paraphrased from Jeff Guenther, LPC. on TikTok" graphic by @wordglass.bsky.app 1/5

Silly

lol that the f*scist website had to get taken down immediately

Go biiiiiiiiiiiiiirds

this fucking birds game. My heart can't

Reactions like this are why I wrote my article. I presented his comments IN CONTEXT, and provided tons of receipts. Charlie Kirk was not a civil person. www.erininthemorning.com/p/we-must-no...

go birds

look Charlie Kirk started, maintained, & promoted turning point usa’s professor watchlist I’ve been on it for over a decade and until this year I was the *only* UVM professor on it which means his life’s work = my death threats

Quoting www.tiktok.com/@vanillamace... who absolutely nailed it: "Charlie Kirk's death was caused by systems he himself platformed and perpetuated"

Charlie Kirk was outspoken bc he never thought he'd face consequences. Liberatory activists are BRAVE bc they know ppl are always trying to kill them and they still fight the righteous fight.

A big part of why white centrist journos can call this a tragedy with a straight face is because to them it is; Kirk etc pose no viable harm to them, their interests, their fetishisation of 'robust debate' and both sidesery - this violence thus feels realer than the violence Kirk's views embodied

Political violence is a core tenant of American “liberal democracy.” This country was built on & maintained by violence. Why do we have to lie to ourselves about this?

Rest in piss you transphobic asshole

burgy good

The thing about transition is that it fundamentally changes your relationship to your own body, and that everyone should have the right to make the same kinds of decisions for theirs.

The reason the media is going after @zackpolanski.bsky.social is that he dares to say "Britain could be not shit"

is Your Party good at trans?

in regards to this: I'm stronger than a lot of men and women, both cis and trans, because I work out literally 4 times a week to compensate for a severe connective tissue disorder. Despite being incredibly strong, I can still barely walk for 15 minutes unsupported.

I don’t like how many people have created the party line that “trans women are weak, weaker than every other trans and cis gender, because hormones” to use when fighting transmisogynists who have “legitimate concerns” about sport.

I would simply start from a position of "all humans deserve to live a dignified life" and then back out into policy that helps everyone live better.

@katie.bzky.team did my first at home shot today :3
