This is exactly why I stopped giving money to Democratic candidates after giving to Howard Dean’s campaign. I finally gave in a few days ago, but made sure that the address I used is blocked by my server. They can sell it all they want; I’ll never see their spam. https://twitter.com/Amy_Siskind/status/1120823301822189568

Standing on the platform waiting for the train with Godbotherer screaming at us from the opposite platform. Annoying as fuck.

This changed my life. I downloaded it on to the Sun workstation I had on my desk at the time and immediately recognized it as the fulfillment of the convergence of TV, publishing, and computers that one of my professors had predicted in the mid 80s. Within days I was waiting HTML https://twitter.com/WebDesignMuseum/status/1120327003612303361

Just donated to @ewarren and @JulianCastro via ActBlue because of their support for starting impeachment hearings. Haven’t donated to a candidate since Howard Dean because I hate the fundraising spam, but I’ll live with it; this is too important

@stribs I (largely) walked away from Facebook about a year ago. With each month, I miss it less and less. I log in every few months to change my profile picture as a way of sending a message to my mom, and that’s about it.

I blogged about finding my grandmother’s parents in someone else’s family tree and how that led me to finding records about them that I’ve been looking for for more than 20 years #genealogy http://www.brandi.org/geneablogy/showme256

RT @CDumaine1: @thereisnocat @sarahkendzior Here is a link to the PDF of Havel's very important essay: https://www.nonviolent-conflict.org/wp-content/uploads/1979/01/the-power-of-the-powerless.pdf

This is the heart of Vaclav Havel’s essay, “The Power of the Powerless”, about how individuals can do their part to fight oppression. Classic tactic, and effective. Havel eventually became president of his country. Maybe someday President @sarahkendzior ? https://twitter.com/RickSmithShow/status/1116515199572426759

Yet again, @adactio says what’s been in my brain for a while. Important post on gatekeeping, priesthood, and the way we build web sites. https://adactio.com/journal/15050

@gaslitnation @AndreaChalupa Lovely site, great resource. Thank you. Your navigation on every page other than the home page and the episodes page is unreadable, though, due to low contrast. Given that it’s okay on those two pages, I suspect this is a bug you intend to fix. At least I hope so.

Дональд Трамп wants to separate families. I suggest he start with Jared and Ivanka and get them the fuck out of the White House.

I had the names of great grandparents in 2000. It wasn’t until 2019 that I found the names of my great great and great great great grandparents. The tree I found goes back further than that, but so far I’ve only found the one record. I hope to retrace the tree I found. #genealogy

This past weekend, I found a tree on http://Geni.com that included my grandmother’s parents. I had long given up hope of ever finding out more information on that line. But with the clues from that tree, I found my GG grandmother’s birth record tonight. #genealogy

@adamdavidson I have a Microsoft keyboard that I use with my (desktop) Mac. Harder to do that if you’re using a MacBook....
