Updating this! Would appreciate a boost!

Lost my job recently and it's been rough out there. I'm a podcast editor, sound designer, and VA trying to build my portfolio. Let me craft your fiction or nonfiction audio into its best shape. I'd love to try my hand at a TTRPG! I can also edit videos.

I've written and directed for the award-winning audio drama Someone Dies In This Elevator and have my own in the works.

Have you ever noticed how white people, particularly white men, always jump to 'well, we can't fix society because we can't stop the hate!' without actually doing something? Ha, yo like literally *anything.*

There has been so much scholarship and demonstrable history that shows effective strategy and organization against hate and harassment that so many people ignore entirely to focus on the doom and gloom to feel justified in their inaction.

And I'm not trying to hear it. Just say you don't give a shit. There are solutions, and your ass is just too lazy to do anything because you don't care and you like being the favored pleb under capitalism.

And before you ask, I have a fuck ton of books pinned to my profile that is chock full of the answers you seek.

a friend is nearly in tears because changing their KDE font to opendyslexic also changed the font ePubs render in in okular, meaning they can actually read their assignments.

this is why apps respecting your preferences is important, and it's why libre software (and KDE in particular) is so awesome.

unrelatedly, fuck electron.

2,571 books were banned or challenged in 2022, according to the American Library Association.

That’s up 40% from 2021.

Why the spike? Because nothing scares conservatives more than a multi-racial generation of young people who ask critical questions and speak truth to power.

CW’s are not and never are about silencing people or asking being to be invisible. They are about being considerate about other people’s needs, be it things that might trigger them to spoilers for their favourite show.

If you want to talk about something that deeply emotionally affected you, there’s a good chance it might have a similar affect on other people, people that might have had a very similar experience to you.

And they might not be in a place that means they can deal with that.

My stance on AI produced content for wellbeing of humanity: 2023 (1/3)

I am always open to discussion and correction.

If a model is trained on content of given license, say GPL or Creative Commons, I believe it's fair that content produced from this model must also comply with the original license.

Standardisation proposal:

Starting fediverse urls with fedi:// to inform your client that the URL should not open in a new tab/browser but directly inside the client itself.

(was thinking of mastodon:// but realized this could apply to any ActivityPub URL)

Good morning to readers. Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

Some career news: I’m leaving NPR as part of the layoffs that dramatically reduced the company’s workforce.

I’ve decided to go back into Ukraine to keep reporting.

But this time, alone.
