So California is trying to legislate 3D printing using technology that doesn't exist designed around standards that don't exist to block something that's already illegal 🤦 Call your state senator and ask them to oppose AB 2047, it does nothing for public safety.

Here's some positive news. I find it encouraging to see a candidate like Tom Steyer call out the political capitulation on transgender rights and stand up firmly for trans youth. We need more of this leadership.

CA Gov Candidate Tom Steyer Calls Out Dems Capitulating On Trans People: "I'm Totally In Favor Of Trans Athletes"

This is one of the most significant statements from a candidate in the CA governors race in support of trans people.

LOL to the flex of calling the PM 'Mark' in this blog post:

Hey Mark, wanna come over for a bbq? Bring some beers! Also, there’s no such thing as a secure encryption backdoor. It’s impossible, in both mathematical and practical terms. Don't forget extra hot dog buns!

No to Bill C-22 / Graham F. Scott

The Canadian government is once again trying to push through an intrusive digital mass surveillance law. Here's the letter I sent to my MP.

People of Orange County, district 40: Esther Kim-Varet has a message for you. #CApolitics #California #MeToo

And this is why I'm voting for Katie Porter. Because you know what? Women *are* angry, and we're allowed to expess it.
Much better Porter the clown car of privileged rich men who probably all have call girls on the side and are unfit to lead.
