I'm finally doing an post here with some tags to search and make it easier to meet others. Follows and conversation welcome!

I'm a cis, gay man who is enamored of the beautiful spectrums of folks on the fediverse.

I run tech.lgbt, and am interested in . I build things for

I am actually a werewolf.

They're trying to distract us from climate change and Area 51 with all of the movies, shows, and games that came out today that I want to consume.

NIMBY: Bike lanes make traffic worse and delay emergency response.
Sane people: Uh, no, that's the cars.
FDNY: It's definitely the cars, maybe y'all should start bicycling instead.

I shouldn't be surprised that Medium only puts member-only content in their digests, but that seems like a big hindrance to creators.

Ok wait, so in Zootopia there is a drawbridge in the jungle district. Not for boats, since it's high in the air, but for zeppelins with baskets. Why wouldn't the zeppelins just fly over the bridge, doing the one thing that they're made for?

I just watched a clip of people walking outside of a gate at Area 51. You can clearly hear one of the guys on the video saying, "I want to get shot, not arrested".

Using Google Home to play videos from YouTube via Chromecast doesn't ever seem to give me what I want. I request a music video with millions of views and instead it goes for a fan lyric video with a thousand views and a different title than what I requested.

I’m at about a 70% today and I’m taking it easy. Self employed folks, what’s your relaxation while having a light work day?

The birbsite is full of the "what are you going to do for climate change" messages, and replies like "I will walk to work" or "I will shame all my friends into veganism" — and it really drives me crazy how pointless it is, and actually only distracts us from the actual problems and their actual solutions, which is the corporations and holding them accountable. Your stopping flushing the toilet will not affect the climate in the least, even if all people in the world did it.

If a man does something big and useful but harasses or assaults, he shouldn't be described as "a great man with issues".

Guaranteed there are people that could do those things just as well without being assholes.

Me: ... Seriously? THIS photo?

Anyone have a tool for webmentions and WordPress that works with Mastodon? Just realized that the one from @pfefferle is only grabbing from Twitter.

Thanks to a reminder to update the progress bar for articles on my site by @[email protected], I've changed it to the colors of the Philly Pride Flag!

Another shoutout to @[email protected] for the lovely icons that I am using for my site and for Twitter/Mastodon!

@robinsyl Thanks for the follow! Sylveon is definitely one of the best pokemon of all, and one of my personal favorites!
