Around 2007 I was running the tech side of a site called Illustration Friday, created by @penelope-dullaghan.bsky.social. We’d post a weekly topic and artists would submit illustrations for it. Our sysadmin noticed we were getting a lot of unusual activity from a single IP address located in Iran. 🧵

If you love speculative fiction, then you owe a huge debt to @strangehorizons.bsky.social -- a magazine that successfully brought SFF short fiction online and expanded our ideas of what genre can do. It launched my career and many others. And it's still amazing. www.kickstarter.com/projects/str...

Four days ago: the Republican caucus forces Melissa Hortman's hands to vote to defund healthcare to undocumented immigrants in order to pass the Minnesota budget, protect reproductive rights. Today: She's assassinated by what is looking more and more like a MAGA hitman impersonating a cop.

assassinations, handcuffing a senator at press conference, marines detaining a civilian, and a military parade for the president’s birthday. rough week for democracy.

if you watched the livestreams of Ferguson, you know that "this is no longer a peaceful protest" is just what they say about the peaceful protest after they've started teargassing the peaceful protest

Looking at the records & photos of SNCC non-violent protest training… …I would not have passed. And probably neither would many of the folk reading this. Included role-playing that involved: -verbal abuse -physical assault -intense harassment exploringsncc.weebly.com/sncc-trainin...

Me, 4 days ago, locking down site security on a server: no human being needs to make that many requests per second. Me, today, IP banned from my own servers five minutes into debugging a site issue: oh, right.

Arc's farewell post makes me grateful for new ventures like Good Internet Magazine and the folks repping personal websites. The picture they paint is bleak & corporate, and I hate to imagine that my posts would only ever be consumed by LLMs... (1/3) browsercompany.substack.com/p/letter-to-...

I am a Chef's Table devotee, when I cannot find comfort in my comfort shows, Chef's Table is always there to hypnotize me. Noticed the Legends had dropped and watched the Jamie Oliver episode and was pleasantly nostalgic. That guy taught my 20yr old self how to cook a lot of stuff.

The lesson people infuriatingly never seem to master is that there is no creating a police state just for other people. If you create a police state with no due process for immigrants or accused criminals, then that's the system you've created for yourself.
