Can Mastodon help 2 young creatives find work? We just finished a great project and are now looking for new projects to work on. I'm a musician, jewellery designer and executive film producer/director and my partner Zach is a video editor, VFX artist and illustrator, we run a film collective called VFP with an amazing cinematographer. We're both queer, neurodivergent and super creative and passionate individuals, always creating.

If you’re switching to #Firefox, remember Firefox is not private by default. Consider the #LibreWolf fork, which is. Otherwise, go into your settings and adjust its tracking features (like having #Google as the default search engine), turn off telemetry, “experiments”, etc.

(Also, if you all switch and Google goes bankrupt, #Mozilla will go bankrupt too because they exist thanks to half a billion dollars a year from Google. So remember Google must survive for Mozilla to survive.)

Threats of violence are increasingly used to justify excluding #transgender, #gay, and other #LGBTQ Americans from ordinary civic life. Here, I examine one such recent incident in Iowa as I remember how Brendan Fay fought for decades for St. Patrick's Day inclusion. Brendan won his fight then. So can we today!

Today, tell your kids about Ruby Bridges—the first Black child at all-white public elementary school in South.

Today Ms. Bridges turns 69.

69.

She's younger than both my parents. And more importantly, she's a reminder of the courage of our youth, of the ever present reality of systemic racism, and of the need to lead with anti-racism to counter this hate.

Let us look to leaders like Ms. Bridges, and build that more perfect union for all people in this country—grounded in true Justice for all

Does no one in the U.S. government have anything to say about one rogue private citizen knee-capping a war effort on which we have so far spent $75 billion?

Ukraine is not mincing words.

Hey car savvy people: 2016 Honda Civic, AC blower has stopped blowing. I’ve checked the fuses in the engine compartment block and under the dash, and have tried replacing the relay, all to no avail. What should I try next?

My calendar says it's National Ampersand Day!

Behold, the symbol that used to be part of the alphabet and has a surprisingly specific meaning in the Hollywood writing world.

I just had to update my numbers for a lecture, so here's your periodic reminder: Starlink is now 55% of ALL active satellites in orbit.

And given the recent news about that awful billionaire unilaterally deciding to cut of internet access to parts of the world whenever he decides to, this is extra important to share. Why did our governments effectively gift Low Earth Orbit to one awful dude? This is so bad.

Some good news. Wins for Biden as Trump and Republicans lose, lose and lose some more.
