Love to talk you up about whatever -you're- excited about right now. And baking, outdoors, open source as public infrastructure, ethics in businessland, rights to privacy/health/education, and governance(whether in open source, startups, or communities)!

I really appreciate the vulnerability that comes with writing something like this and releasing it to the public. We need to do a better job of recognizing these traits and supporting one another. 💕

Open Source Gave Me Everything Until I Had Nothing Left to Give

The Black Panthers also provided free clinics and vaccination for kids. ♥️👍🏿

“First you have free breakfasts, then you have free medical care, then you have free bus rides, and soon you have FREEDOM!” Fred Hampton.

How did the Black Panthers, with relatively zero funding, set up free health clinics for Black people, where the government of the richest nation on earth could not?

These are uncomfortable questions, most easily answered by destroying those clinics.

With Free Medical Clinics and Patient Advocacy, the Black Panthers Created a Legacy in Community Health That Still Exists Amid COVID-19

The Black Panthers' community health services grew out of a deep distrust in minority communities towards the traditional health care system.

This morning, ICE was staking out an elementary school bus stop here in Minneapolis. A crowd with whistles chased them off.

Just in case you somehow thought they were leaving Minnesota.

Just in case Senators somehow thought maybe it’s OK to give them a military-sized budget after all just because they demoted that one guy.

another day visiting the internet archive storage servers. everyone keeps asking me if they can lick the Internet. buddy, they wont even let me lick it

I understand I'm very late(but better than never, maybe?) to asking this question, but outside of not carrying a smart device, is there OSS that helps combat this?

And by 'this', I mean use of sold commercial data and any form of blocking/interfering of this because I am realistic in understanding that in the near term, the data will continue to be sold regardless of consent.

Our 2025 Impact Report is now out!

2025 was a difficult year for the global research ecosystem, but it also showed what sustained and coordinated investment in open infrastructure can make possible. We raised over US$4.5M for open infrastructure expansion in Africa and Latin America, expanded Infra Finder to 110+ infrastructures, and built tools to help institutions understand the true costs of public access.
