This week has been pure hell and it's only Tuesday. I'm stressed, depressed, and want to curl into a ball and disappear.

Behold this beautiful Halloween ASCII art cultdeadcow.com

“Nearly” everyone 😉 Veilid does rely on volunteers who run inbound capable nodes but they can be anywhere (and on any port). AWS, Digital Ocean, a raspberry pi at your house, whatever 😃 Decentralize the planet!

I should be doing art and creating things, but instead I'm just raising truffle pigs and befriending sewer demons and holding the mayors purple shorts for ransom

Update- once she saw the dress on, she was like "you look great and I'm stealing that dress" And I went and half the moms were wearing similar dresses. And one mom was wearing a smash the patriarchy shirt, I was amongst my people. So no embarrassment.

So tonight I am volunteering at my kids theater event, serving root beer floats. And I was planning on wearing a nice business casual modest floral dress, and she instead is insisting that "I dress like a normie" So now I'm threatening to wear my shirt that just says CUM (in the doom font)

Omg new AFI album is exactly what my soul needed. It's about time davey havoc went full new wave- he's got that voice, it's perfect. New album sounds like it could have been made in the 80s, with Robert smith co producing

My stunning and amazing friend @medus4.com 😍

Feeling autumnal in Boston

Zines!!!! I made 'em, you read 'em!!

Hey moms if you want to have a kid that is extra awesome and brilliant is a unique way, take Tylenol!!

Squid row is where fisherman go to live when they've fallen on hard times

People going on and on about traditional American values... you know what tradition I think is cool and should come back? Duels. Like no more Internet arguments, get your finest gloves and decorated pistols and meet at dawn

My favorite coding language is DOS, it's the OG. These kids don't even know

Ok but like, I'm really starting to buy into the idea that this wasn't a "random" assassination, that this was a planned event to further drive Americans apart

I'm just gonna set this here: www.newsweek.com/charlie-kirk...

Welp 🤷🏻‍♀️

Everytime I see one of these I immediately think of 9/11

If you think marketing isn't important in the privacy space- try to convince your dentist to use Tor. I'm guessing they've heard horror stories about the dark web. Control your data- but also control the narrative.

the importance of a decentralised web is at odds with common tech literacy, and the public zeitgeist which lends too much trust to centralised platforms that seek to exploit them. i would like this to change! but to do that, we need to continue spreading information about the importance and benefits

"true decentralisation" is a technical problem, but ultimately boils down to a huge marketing game. both activitypub and atproto have their pros and cons. both struggle with decentralisation for a number of technological and cultural reasons.

Heading to Nashville to see NIN!! Anyone heading to the show?

Call me MD5 because I am really insecure

Today @tc.superteece.com and I wore matching dickies jumpsuits and rocked out to limp bizkit unironically and fellas, this is called living the dream

I woke up and the air feels different. I today the day?

Kilik is the oddjob of soul caliber, and I will judge you so hard for picking him

We know very little about how cell-site simulators (CSS), devices that masquerade as legitimate cell-phone towers, are being deployed in the US or globally, but with Rayhunter, we hope to change that. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Oh damn, I used to love Pluto TV. It didn't make you sign up for an account and had free tv channels... now they make you sign in :(

Reminder that surveillance is an essential ingredient to fascism. Reclaiming privacy is an act of resistance.

Your English teacher and your debate teacher are getting married 🧨

We had a Moms For Liberty candidate running for our local city council, and the results are in after todays vote- and she only got 6 votes. Love this for her, love seeing her spend all that money for nothing, and I'm still going to continue cyberbullying her
