🏳️‍🌈🤓💻🎪💪🏃‍♂️⚱️🧁🦄

I’m a gay nerdy tech guy living with my husband Daniel (@datasaurus) in Seattle, WA.

I enjoy partner #acrobatics, #lifting, #running, throwing #pottery, #baking, and reading #SFF.

I'm the defacto lead dev and a sysadmin at Distributed Proofreaders (pgdp.net), the largest contributor of public domain ebooks to Project Gutenberg.

I post about random tech stuff, queer stuff, books, and CW'd post-workout flex pics.

@datasaurus and I went to brunch with some friends and their two young kids today and were looking *super* cute on the way out the door. 🥰

"Now show me pretty streaks of light" 🤣

My new favorite line from the captain's seat. ❤️

The shadows are doing a lot of the heavy lifting in this pic, but I'm not sad about how the legs are coming along.

Also, does 25k lbs sound like a lot? I honestly can't tell anymore. It feels like a lot.

A friend working in the #Philippines introduced me to #PhilippineAirlines’ current in-flight #safety #video. It’s nothing short of outstanding. 🧑‍🍳💋

I hired a designer friend to design the logo for my new company. He just sent me some sample designs for me to review and for us to discuss and I'm /really/ happy.

Who knew that hiring artists to practice their art yields amazing results?

I've got something like 10 weeks to find and read 9 more good queer books for June's queer books for pride.

No pressure. 😬

The information transfer at work this week is going well(ish).

There have been at least two questions I have been asked by someone following a set of instructions that didn't work. Except they did work, they just didn't actually read and follow the instructions until I pointed that out.

Yay for me including all the necessary bits and now let's update the instructions to be clearer.

I was curious about research on conversion therapy bans to see what we know about their effectiveness. While clinical research confirms it is rarely healthy for individuals, the public policy effectiveness is less obvious.

I had some initial skepticism:

- The Religious Loophole: Most bans exempt religious counselors and programs; this is a massive gap.

- The Private Practice "Black Box": Oversight is difficult behind closed doors, and few follow strict manuals. Counselors can "stop" the therapy while still weaponizing personal disapproval.

- Savvy Consumerism: Parents seeking these services are targeted shoppers who might find practitioners already aligned with their worldviews.

Despite these gaps, data shows bans work. Using a natural experiment based on different rollouts, Harrell (2022) found that after state bans, suicide among men under 25 dropped by 8%.

Pecs are poppin' today. Re-introducing chest dips and cable flys after a winter break from them. Although maybe I should have taken a bit more of a rest after yesterday's hex press 😬
