In 2019 I met a young Meta engineer who was really fired up about wanting to change the company ‘from the inside’. She asked me why I hated her company. I said I’d just come from a place where I saw it accelerate genocide (Myanmar) and suppress democracy. She said oh at least they won’t do it […]

So I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that the backlash to @protonprivacy was not commensurate to the offense - and it was an offense - committed by Andy Yen, the CEO. He'll never admit it, for reasons I won't go into here, but I think I can safely say that expressing support for a […]

My lesson for 5th graders with the spirographs and programming is going really well. Yesterday we lost track of time, I had to shoo them out of the room. But, we were having so much fun making the patterns and trying to get the program to match them exactly. And I think they were doing the […]

I’m going to say this once: My life and my body and my work have been designated as “political” by people in my country who want people like me quiet, subservient, or gone. This goes double for Black, immigrant, and trans folks. I don’t post news, but I am not going to CW the “uspol” of living […]

I keep thinking of this quote from the Great Gatsby: “They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

I can't wait until they unveil the newest addition to the super bowl: trump gives a thumbs down on a referee's call, and they shove the ref into a hole in the ground and then everyone gets a turn trying to knock his head off with a baseball bat. The winner gets 3 points. Fun! #stuporbowl #superbowl

We can't ignore stories like this. Trump is actively pushing white nationalist policies. In the U.S., brown immigrants are sent to camps, while racist white immigrants are welcomed with open arms. This isn’t immigration reform, it’s a blatant endorsement of white supremacy.
