Father, Husband, consistent self critic. Like to be active outside as well as virtual. Play a lot of board games as well as video games.
I've worked in IT for 2 decades both as a frontline tech as well as in management. I work mostly remote and don't miss the commute.
"“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”"
Words to remember even if, right now, the universe seems to be bending toward evil and chaos. I want to ignore the horrors of the global stage and focus on the local. What else can I do except to register my opposition and move on? I feel helpless. Lisa and I will go to the protests, again. We will vote in November. But I feel impotent in the face of this unchecked and corrupt government.
I try really hard not to have schadenfreude in these times but people like this make it extremely difficult.

TRANS HOOSIERS UNDER ATTACK AGAIN!
After decades of allowing us to update our IDs, and with no evidence of a problem, the BMV is considering new rules that would BAN #trans Hoosiers from updating our ID.
Without updated ID, we're forced to OUT ourselves during countless routine interactions with bank tellers, store clerks, etc. In our modern environment of VIRULANT anti-trans rhetoric -- that's incredibly dangerous.
Please take action right now!
Loving my new compression socks - they help with my #longCovid induced #POTS - so wanted to give a shout out to Hannah from Not Your Grandma's for creating such wonderful garments
(she's also struggling to keep the shop afloat so hoping to support a small UK business)

Putin just illegally detained a legal US resident without a warrant or charge because he peacefully protested the Govt’s policies enabling war crimes. His lawyer & family have no idea where he is
This is fasci—
Wait—sorry I misread. Trump did all of the above to US greencard holder Mahmoud Khalil. 😳
No warrant. No formal charge. Just an arrest in the dark of night and transported to an undisclosed location.
This is fascism and if you think he’ll stop at Palestinians, you’re sorely mistaken.
During the George Floyd protests, I had some non-Black friends and colleagues reach out to me to commiserate about the plight of Black people in the U.S.
While I appreciated their outreach, I was also annoyed by it. Those problems had existed for centuries, existed at that moment and would exist in the future. Yet I was getting the outreach because George Floyd was trending.
Eventually he would stop trending and the U.S. would revert to mean. I never said this to anyone but I did think it. 😔
