Dwight Eisenhower was the last Republican president who didn’t commit treason or benefit from treason to take the White House. Finally, one of these criminals might be facing consequences:

Gov. Bill Lee of Tennessee let his domain lapse and is now in the "finding out" portion of fucking around with a tech industry that is dominated by LGBTQIA+ people.

I got my first spam follow, Mastodon has really made it to the mainstream!

I really hate when people post threads that start with a vague and mildly interesting high level claim followed by “here’s why:”

Here’s why:

Of course, in general, this is bad for women, but forcing republican women voters into a car to travel large distances for basic care sounds about right...

GM friends! I'm back! I have been sick with the flu & then with critical levels of electrolytes. 😳 So after taking humongous horse pills of potassium & nursing myself back to health (sort of)...I am here. 😛 I hope you all stay away from that damn bug that is going around! 😳 🙄 #birds #BirdPhotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #photo #Photography #Monday

When men refer to themselves as ‘Alpha males’, I hear that in the context of software, where alpha versions are unstable, missing important features, are filled with flaws and are generally not fit for the public.

@mybarkingdogs @Adam_Cadmon1 @therobburgessshow Voting is our power. If we want a functional democracy, we have to participate and take ownership! Generations of voter apathy got us here, by design. And it’ll take generations of high voter turnout to correct. Evangelicals and obstructionist Republicans garnered City and State offices first.
Run for office. Register voters. Never fail to #Vote
It’s a privilege and it’s our duty.
End rant 😌

@StillIRise1963 My deceased, very white, (unconsciously?) racist in-laws named their Labrador retriever "Obama" specifically because the dog was black. I just could not wrap my head around that level of bigotry.

Silent Sunday
#SilentSunday #DogsOfMastodon #Photography

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.
