I'm a web (mostly #WordPress) developer who tries as much as possible to focus on #a11y. I work in #HigherEd.

I'm a dad of 3 grown kids and a grandfather to 2 beautiful girls.

I enjoy retro video games, but I'm not obsessive about them.

I love TV and movies, and spend a lot of time watching something. I absolutely love music.

I enjoy playing trivia, sometimes as many as 3 or 4 nights a week.

I'm a Christian, but not that kind of "Christian".

I'm a lefty, bleeding heart liberal.

There’s always money for billionaires—but never for our children. A $7 billion education cut is an attack on our future. Unacceptable.

The Trump administration declined to release nearly $7 billion in school funding that helps pay for after-school programs and other services. https://trib.al/CIBxpaX

Too many Americans (including a fair number of Democrats) are in denial about what the USA has become, and do not understand why the world is so angry with us right now.

We are seen as the bad guys now. Get used to it. Elections have consequences.

There are some 55 Canadians who have been detained by ICE so far. One has died in ICE custody. It is wildly irresponsible to ask Canadians to come here just to boost our tourism.

One of the most tragic things is that so many people that will be harmed by the Big Death Bill will be completely unaware about what just happened until it’s way too late and they can’t see a doctor or get a hospital bed in their time of need.

Basically this big bullshit bill that was just signed, sets everything up to happen that was explained and written out in project 2025, and people told me that I was overreacting.

“I don't think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA, & others combined.

It is setting up to make what's happening now look like child's play. And people are disappearing.”

THIS is how to describe the vile fascist MAGA Murder Bill:

The fiscal conservatives in the GOP just added $4 trillion to the deficit to give the wealthiest people on earth a tax cut. The pro-family party just took healthcare away from 17 million Americans to give ICE a bigger budget than Brazil’s military. The single most inhumane bill ever passed.

Love to spend a long weekend celebrating “freedom” and the birth of our country by watching the oligarchs in charge build concentration camps, strip healthcare from millions of people (many of whom are hatefully and/or obliviously cheering them on), and demolish the democratic structures that make America special while the president uses the office to golf, attack political opponents, and hawk the world’s tackiest cologne. When are the fireworks?!
