Things you don’t know about me:
1. My BFA is in Musical Theatre
2. I used to perform professionally and was an Equity actor. I stopped because NYC was impossible to be young, poor, 6’5”, and Black in if you were doing theatre.
3. I podcast! Pretty regularly! All the time!

Sometimes I think I should go get a PhD in human social behavior so people will take my knowledge seriously.
The inability of the cishet white credentialed class to recognize the incredible skills and expertise developed by QTBBIA folk, esp. those of us with divergent neurotypes, is exhausting.

I've had this idea for a while, but what if you built a desktop UI on top of atproto data... and what if that UI looked cyberpunk AF?
Here's a first look at Aether OS, a desktop-like interface with system and lexicon apps powered by your data.

this is all very boring now.
you made an anti-fat joke whether you think it was one or not.
Do with that information what you will.
Good day.

So is your idea that the term “plus-sized” doesn’t exist without my dumb joke?

@alex.bsky.team I hope I can get verified! Do I need a real photo of myself or a domain name that matches my name?

lol the “well I weighed a certain amount and had a heart problem and was told I needed to lose weight or die so I did because I was told to”
against the entire history of medical anti-fatness and racism, along with MULTIPLE studies now showing weight is not at all a primary indicator of health.

As someone who recently was overweight at 225lbs and ended up in the cardiac ward for 3 days, and was told I needed to lose weight or I was going to have a heart attack, and then promptly went out and lost 40 lbs and kept it off, I say - stop feeling sorry for your self and go get some exercise.

Some people really do think their intent matters more than their impact, as if “oh I didn’t mean to” somehow erases harm.
It’s a joke about synonyms and euphemisms. It’s really dumb and doesn’t go any further than that.

If you see someone posting this or any of its derivatives, and you believe that you’re not anti-fat and you don’t hate fat people?
Call it out as the anti-fatness it is. It’s a joke based *completely* on making fun of the euphemisms created for fat people, bc society is opposed to fatness.

Jesus I fucking hate this.
Can we talk about the anti-fatness embedded in this and every single riff on this?
Because it’s all based on laughing at euphemisms for fat people.
Gross.

Why are people obsessed with cryptocurrency even now - including people building on atproto.
Whyyyy.
Is there any *real* benefit to it? Like, in a way that doesn’t have significant drawbacks in one area? That actually protects the end user?
Haven’t seen it yet.

as a non-binary person I also find “folx” to be intensely cringe
“folks” is a perfectly good non-gendered term and you just decided to Hot Topic it to be edgy

I really want to make a bot or a labeler that somehow raises awareness when someone is using Substack to host a newsletter in order to encourage/gently pressure them to move to a different platform. Trying to think about the best way to go about it.

Hey @chrisgeidner.bsky.social - was wondering if you could share what’s keeping you on Substack when they’re intentionally profiting off the content that is pushing this country further towards fascism?

One of the things I refuse to be shy about anymore is just using Claude Code to build shit I don’t know how to build.
Yeah, I’m still learning to code. Yeah, there are probably going to be gaps and risks and security holes!
That’s why I’m making it OSS & ask my smarter friends to point shit out!!

The single worst thing that fucking Tromp has done is convince people that everyone is out to get them and the best thing to do is to reflexively distrust all institutions no matter what they are or what their track record is.
