I know this firsthand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and saboteurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

I went on a date on Saturday. First one in 20 years.

Milestones!

At one point, just as I was excusing myself to go the ladies room, my date asked me if I watched Star Trek.

I leaned in and whispered, “hun, I’m literally wearing a Bajoran earring right now.”

Points for everyone!

One of the most-challenging aspects about trying to operate a software company that’s premised on public good is that public good, alone, doesn’t resolve into a viable business plan.

Heritage Auctions has a lot of anime art up for sale, including this amazing layout cel from my fave, Gunbuster!

Unfortunately, … I already bought … this cel … at auction … years ago?

I’m starting to think the whole cel economy is fake. 🥹

Not bad for a girl who grew up with the NES. Party time! 💃

Using Mastodon
and the Fediverse is an act of rebellion in itself.

By being here,
you are contributing to grow an alternative system that is led by the people and for the people, not for profits.

By being here,
you are encouraging a solution to a deteriorating social climate that thrives on outrage and the monetization of hate.

By being here,
you are participating to the development of a new system that can slowly build a better world.

Thank you for being here 💚

Can we restore the 1990’s save point and try out some other options? I’m really not sure we’re on course for the best ending.

At seven, she’s officially a senior citizen. 🙀

They gave the award to Mikey Madison (Anora) instead of Demi Moore (Substance). This is the post-credits scene to end all post-credits scenes. 😭

It’s been almost a year since I moved to San Francisco, leaving behind a house full of stuff in the East Bay.

No more. It took most every weekend in January and February, but the house is finally empty and ready for the gardeners, painters, cleaners, stagers, and realtors to do their thing.

All that’s left for me is figuring out what to do with the dozen boxes of overflow squatting in my apartment.

Beware ye who try to seize my morning-after açaí bowl from me.

If you are wondering why I post
so much about politics these days,

Well it's because 1) I deeply care about human rights 2) we live in unprecedented times (again) and 3) because privacy and politics are intrinsically intertwined.

If I can't convince you with this post,
maybe I can with this article: privacyguides.org/articles/202

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: an administration (and its supporters) who believe that they are not limited by the rule of law have no moral or philosophical claim to the protection of the rule of law. “The law is whatever we say it is” warrants the same in response.

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
