Most of us are destined to overcome challenges. For some we have an uphill battle starting the day we are born.
For my daughter I was that challenge. She was a healthy beautiful baby born to a fourteen year old mom. I was a emancipated minor child trying to adult in a world of intolerance.
Somethings never change.
I couldn't legally drive or work, and was determined to avoid any kind of financial assistance that might become an excuse to take her away.
Together we grew up.
I can't put into words how I feel about the person she became.
Today I took our compost to her house. I admired the large new pride flag that they now hang in a window so it doesn't dissappear. I toured her garden that I haven't seen in a month and felt a million good feelings because she turned out to be a kind, talented and compassionate person who doesn't even know how to hate.
My reason to be thankful today.
Flowers are from her garden.

Multiple ICE kidnappings here in Pasadena this morning.

Plain-clothes goons just straight-up grabbing people off the street.

Yo, real talk—what the fuck are we gonna do when the internet gets shut off?

We've seen it in #Gaza, in #Iran, and when Elon “I-play-God” Musk blacked out Starlink in Ukraine. Every time shit gets heavy, the state or some oligarch clown just pulls the plug. It ain’t just a glitch—it’s strategic, it’s repression, and it’s a fucking reminder that most of our comms infrastructure is in the hands of fascists, corporations, or both.

I’ve been working with indigenous comrades who rely on #Starlink to stay connected in remote areas. And yeah, it’s wild that you can be deep in the bush and still shitpost from a mountaintop—but that signal still runs through a pipeline owned by a Nazi tech bro.

We need to be talking more about mesh networks, autonomous infrastructure, all that good shit that anarchist tech nerds have been yelling about for years. Decentralized, resilient, community-controlled comms aren’t just cool—they’re necessary for survival.

Let’s keep this convo alive and start building the lifelines before the next blackout. Shit’s coming fast.

Activists are Designing Mesh Networks to Deploy During Civil Unrest

The Mycelium Mesh Project is testing DIY networks that can be quickly deployed on trees or lamp posts during a political uprising.

I have had basically this conversation with most of the people I consider close to me over the past few months…we all agree with Snoopy regardless of age and previous political persuasion…

Snoopy says: “Stop shaming the POOR for buying things that might not be necessary, and start shaming the RICH from profiteering off everything that is essential”

Trans people exist, protect trans kids, trans rights are human rights, and solidarity with trans people, ALWAYS!

And SCOTUS is a disgrace... As a lawyer, it doubly hurts to see how horrible they are. 😭

In reading a fascinating and important discussion of the lack of a termination clause in the new Mastodon.social Terms of Service:

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/35086

I was GOBSMACKED to discover the new ToS has a "binding arbitration waiver," which takes away your right to sue, no matter how badly the service abuses you.

These are profoundly unethical, terrible clauses. They should never, ever appear in "adhesion contracts" (that is, contracts that you merely click through, rather than negotiating.)

New Terms of Service IP clause cannot be terminated or revoked, not even by deleting content · Issue #35086 · mastodon/mastodon

Summary Since it first opened, mastodon.social has operated without any sort of explicit IP grant from the users to the service, which is unusual for a social networking service. Today Mastodon ann...
