Just watched this, really happy to see the greed and destruction of VC broken down for people who don’t work in tech.

It was good to join thousands of people in downtown SLO today at the No Kings protest. My sign made it into the local newspaper’s sign gallery! www.sanluisobispo.com/news/politic...
‘This is our moral moment.’ See signs from No Kings protest in SLO
Early estimates indicated roughly 5,000 people packed the downtown streets on Saturday morning.

We have a few bundles of this special yarn left and it’s now up on the website! I dyed it a few years ago in Peru when I had the opportunity to visit @abbysyarns.bsky.social and join a natural dyeing workshop at the Santo Tomas CTTC.

I was able to run the PixelBlaze Panama Hat with 150 LEDs for over 5 hrs, looking great at 20% brightness, using this small battery that fit under the hat & at 2.2oz, wasn't noticeable:
