It's National Coming Out Day, and life got so much better when I accepted that I'm queer and nonbinary. If you're not ready yet, that's okay. You're still valid, and I love you. 💜

If this actually works, I'd be surprised. I'm serious, though. Hire me. 😂

I've been making a cyberdeck (and documenting the process for my final project) and I think I finally settled on a configuration that works for me!

I wore this out to dinner with the wife and kids and got complimented by a stranger. This is the first time I've gotten complimented in public about a shirt I designed. 😁 . . . . . f.mtr.cool/kcufevpbmo

I was on reddit (I know, I know) and I saw someone say that Bluesky was so full of white people, and like... Skill issue? There are so many BIPOC on here. If you can't find them, that's a YOU problem, buddy.

We're having a presentation next week of our projects that we've been working on all term, and the instructor made a flyer to advertise it. The picture they used of my team has me with my mouth open. Thanks, that's precisely how I want to be seen. 🙄😂

There's no debate about it. Trans and nonbinary people are human fucking beings that are no more good or evil than anyone else, and deserve to be treated with the same decency we all deserve. If you can't understand that, or if you want to blame them for everything, then shut the fuck up forever.

It has been said before. I will say it again. The way this TTRPG “community” treats Black women, femmes & NBs is a fucking disgrace. What do we have to do to prove our pain is real? How much blood to we have to publicly spill? It’s a miracle some of us are still standing.

Seeing all the love that Puerto Rico is getting makes me so happy. 💜 Btw, Puerto Rico is still a colony of the US (and has been since 1898). Free Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷

I've got a bunch of designs available on my fourth wall shop. I'm pretty proud of these. There are shirts, buttons, hats, and mugs on there, all as fairly priced as I could make them. Link in bio.

A shirt that says "I'm grumpy, I'm queer, and I don't want to be here"

A shirt that says "Billionaire lives don't matter"

A shirt that says "we've always been here" with the letters being the colors of the progress pride flag.

Five buttons, all purple. One has the three arrows antifascist symbol. The others read "the only good fascist is a dead one", "only fascists hate antifa", "Billionaire lives don't matter", and "grumpy and queer".

Remember, in times like these, it's important to make time for joy. Take some time for yourself, take a breath, and get yourself centered. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Many of the new ✨Skylighters✨ here follow me and I know that we are all collectively horrified with the news from Minneapolis. We don’t have “community conversations” yet in Skylight (coming soon). For that reason, I’m starting this thread ⬇️ Feel free to use this post to connect/organize/share

Dear @democrats.org, the bare minimum you should be doing is working to abolish ICE as a governmental organization and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. Don't give them more money for training, we don't want better trained Gestapo! We want them out of our cities and jailed.

This is a good lesson, no matter how you come to learn it

Thematically speaking, the most important thing Terry Pratchett taught me was the concept of militant decency. The idea that you can look at the world and its flaws and its injustices and its cruelties and get deeply, intensely angry, and that you can turn that into energy for doing the right thing and making the world a better place. He taught me that the anger itself is not the part! should be fighting. Nobody in my life ever said that before.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy premiered yesterday, and I really like it. Captain Ake gives off hippie mom vibes in the best way, Caleb Mir is a little shit (but in a way that makes you like him), and Sam is adorable. It embraces everything Trek, both old and new.

I recently put these up on the pantry door for my kids to see as a little daily reminder.

Three small signs on a pantry door. One reads "Always lead with empathy. - Dad". Another reads "A smart man learns from his own mistakes. A wise man learns from the mistakes of others. Be wise. - Abuelo Nelson". The third reads "Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely. - The Land Before Time".

My favorite dynamic in a story is two characters who are incredibly intelligent and talented on their own, but when they get together, they give "Mom said it's my turn with the brain cell" vibes.

Could an enby who uses it/its pronouns please explain them to me? I want to be respectful always, but there's something about referring to a person as an it that I can't help but think of as cruel. I'm nonbinary and use they/he pronouns, and I don't mind neo pronouns. (cont'd)

I got my 9-year-old twin sons to watch Encounter at Farpoint parts 1 and 2 (the first two episodes of Star Trek: TNG if you're unfamiliar) and they liked it! My nerdy heart is full. 💜 🖖🏽
