I've been using this account as my primary for about a week now, and I'm think I'm settled on using it for the foreseeable future, so I guess it's time to do another #introduction post.
I'm a dad of four kids, and a web developer. I have a college degree in #Theater (or #Theatre) and had aspirations of being an actor. I kind of fell into web development as a career. It was a hobby back in high school, and I just needed to pay some bills after college, so I ended up doing this.
I always have aspirations to do other things, but for now, I'm pretty happy spending most of my time as a dad and husband.
Some day, I'd like to get back into #acting, or maybe do some #VoiceActing. I also enjoy #writing and will, from time to time, post some #MicroFiction, usually from somebody's #WritingPrompt.
I love #StarTrek, and usually watch at least one episode nearly every day. I like all #SciFi really, though, as well as #fantasy. I used to read a lot, but find I don't have as much time or mental capacity for it as I used to. I also enjoy watching #anime, and have really been enjoying the new episodes of #Bleach lately.
Feel free to follow me if you think we have similar interests, and I may follow you back, if I think likewise.

US Politics: election results
US Politics: election results
In case you hadn't heard since Election Day, the popular vote was not quite the slam dunk for Trump as it appeared on the day.
In fact, Trump did not win a majority of the votes cast. He won 49% of the votes. Harris won 48% of the votes.
If we didn't have the Electoral College, and implemented ranked voting, there's a decent chance Harris would have won, if the other 3% choose her as their second choice.

I totally get how someone self-identifying as something that doesn't match their outer appearance can be confusing. Some of yall been identifying as Christians all this time and it's got the rest of us stumped.

Well yesterday was rough after figuring out I don't really have a job anymore because the fires burned down the entire neighborhood my job was in.
But today I feel better, and focused, and I need a job.
So if anyone in LA needs a lead host and waiter with about a decade of experience, who can also do prep work, cashiering and simple barista work for pretty much any job imaginable (I wouldn't mind trying something new):
We should talk :D

My train of thought derailed.

@bob
Community disaster response used to be centrally organised on Twitter, which worked fine until a single billionaire took too much ketamine and demonstrated how fragile a single centralised platform is.
A federated network can heal around individual errors and still let the broader community work together.

Atoms are binary. They are either intended to be hydrogen or helium. We can't just scrap this worldview just because of a handful of exceptions.

Maybe Facebook changed their name to "Meta" because they metastasized and became society's cancer.

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.
He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter.
