Early in 2023, I stood up an instance off my main domain to check out Mastodon and see if the rumors were true: did it really feel like early Twitter and the short lived ADN?

The answer is yes, it most certainly does, so I while I wanted to continue to engage and meet people,my domain kinda sucked and I never gave a proper #introduction.

I solved the domain issue, so figured I'd take care of the other with a proper first post.

My name is Kevan and I'm kind of from all over the US, but I've been in #Chicago since 2007.

I moved here for college and never left. I came to study #theater and #film with the idea I'd #write and perform on #SNL.

None of those things panned out: I wound up with a degree in #philosophy and #economics and found my way into tech with #engineering (#js, #python) and #ProductManagement.

I thought for a long time I'd wind up in #politics, but my stint running #product at BallotReady during the 2020 election—while the thing I'm most proud of professionally—broke me of that fantasy.

I'm current the VP of Product for a commerce focused #startup. Fortunately, I work from home because this #MechanicalKeyboard is loud AF.

#Travel, #photography, #cooking, listening to #music on #vinyl, reading #ComicBooks and writing on fancy paper with a #FountainPen (mostly #SpokenWord and #FreeVerse #poetry) are my hobbies. And I try to spend as much of my time with Toby, my #goldendoodle (#DogsOfMastodon) as I can.

Biff Trump 🤪🤣

Uh, bud, they've all lost their moral compass on Ukraine, on democracy, on voting, on guns, on women's bodies, on LGBTQ rights, on education, on the environment....

The luck of the ire-ish in this rare behind the scenes footage from my most recent OnlyFans photo shoot, which was CLEARLY super sexy.

At an event with my teen today & he said he was hungry, so I gave him $10 to get food. He came back 30 minutes later and quietly sat down next to me.

Finally I asked what, “What’d you get to eat?”🤔

He responded, “Oh, ummm, nothing. There was a charity for Syria earthquake victims so I donated the $10 to them instead.”

Me: 🥺

Him: Was that okay to do??

Me: Yeah kiddo, that was okay to do.🥹

Anyway…I think I’m raising a good dude.❤️

P.S. Got him his favorite meal on the way home 👍🏽

The people who don’t want to give kids free lunches, have never tried to teach a hungry child.

@TonyStark This is oppressive religious dogma, imposed on women regardless of their religious beliefs.

The WY law also criminalizes looking for pills or pill providers on the internet. Think about that. Searches on the internet for legal, FDA approved medicines are now criminal acts in WY.

Republicans cry freedom but are in fact tyrants and oppressors.

Get involved. Vote them out.

Meanwhile, let's check in on the revised FL school history books...

At the current rate of growth, #Mastodon will see its 10 millionth account this week.

There has been increase in the average number of new users in the past couple of days and we are getting to another great marker.

For reference, Mastodon was at under 5 million users when Elon Musk took over Twitter, less than a year ago.

Beyond that, #ActivityPub is getting increasing support from major player.

A better way, a decade in the making but getting there. Congrats to all involved to date.

He said he PRAYED about it to come to his decision. In what medical school do you learn that? The school for religious extremists?

This is fanatical legislation. So-called Christians, a minority, making cultist decisions for everyone.

Religion doesn't belong in government. All politicians who allow their religion to dictate their decisions need to be removed from office.

Got the replicators installed. #startrek #3dprinting

Trump said he’s gonna be arrested on Tuesday. Hope he’s not lying this time.

Be like Iceland…

We need more humility like this.
