Hello world! I recently migrated here from the bad place. I'm a software engineer based in Chicago. I also love music, Star Trek, anime, and video games.

I've been learning pixel art for the last few months. I'm working on getting better at clouds that have some texture without adding too much and looking like a mess of random pictures. I drew this one yesterday and I feel proud of it 🙂 #pixelart #retro #2d

This is so fucked up. She deserved better. No one deserves this neglect.

A large stretch of forest that has been owned by the state of Minnesota for more than 100 years will soon be returned to the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa.

The very goal of making "art" with generative AI misses the point of what art is.

I love open source!!

My depression was Autistic burnout the whole time! Shucks.

I love Spoink so much. I love this stupid little asshole.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

This is so horrifying and awful. I can't believe someone would do this.

If you like porn, you owe performers the bare fucking minimum of supporting their human right to self determination and listening to their self advocacy. if you think we don't have our own voices and need to be saved, you aren't looking hard enough.

I desperately hope this US trans healthcare ban doesn't pass the senate. Trans people just want to live in peace!!

Reading gender theory is challenging and liberating. I misunderstood for so long what gender means, but now I understand that it encompasses all other facets of identity. More than ever I just want to burn the gender binary to the ground

Utah may not be known for peaches, but plant scientist Reagan Wytsalucy is working to revive the historic Southwest peach—cultivated by Native communities since the 1600s—by tracking down the remaining trees scattered across the region.

hey it's also ok if you're autistic and you haven't accomplished shit

I simply don't want to live in a world where Autistic and trans folks don't exist.

to be loved is to be changed

We're entering a dark period in US #accessibility. The White House home page has a bunch of links with "aria-hidden" and "tabindex=-1". This hides the links from assistive tech like screen readers & makes them unreachable with just a keyboard. Critical #WCAG compliance errors! But who can sue?

Today's lesson for cis people. This shit is NOT what you do to trans people, even if the person is a horrible person.

I wrote a series of articles on MCAS if you want to check them out. It’s wildly under diagnosed because so few doctors know it exists. One of my first symptoms was alcohol intolerance. Was sick for three days from ONE sip 😭 www.disabledginger.com/p/when-youre...

it sure is fun [IT IS NOT FUN. I AM BEING FACETIOUS.] how there is no amount of medical history, diagnoses, documentation, or experience that will ever make your insurance company stop treating you like a drug-seeking addict for the crime of "trying to get an ADHD stimulant"

Jimmy Carter has died at the age of 100. This photo of him and former Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo is simply amazing. Maybe my favorite political-esque photo ever 🙏🏾🇳🇬

Ada Lovelace (who wrote the first computer program)'s dad is Lord Byron (one of the great romantic poets)??? She's his only legitimate child?????

"Terrorism" is just violence that the state doesn't approve of. They clearly approve of death caused by health insurance claim denials and military intervention and genocide in Palestine. Luigi is a "terrorist" inasmuch as the state cares about protecting CEOs.

I hope that the Bluesky moderation team steps up to make this platform safe for trans people. If not, I'm gonna leave
