I’m going to put a lock on the box but not give them the key. Lockpick it yourself, maybe the key is inside the box

So someone is getting a box of random things I rounded up from around my house in the 2 hours before I left for the airport this morning, which I will massively overhype as a “l33t crate”

So I have 4.5 days to learn Texas Hold ‘Em

AND apparently I’m supposed to bring a prize for whoever knocks me out of the tournament

This is unfortunate/humorous because

1. I’m not a celebrity
2. I’m not a hacker
3. I don’t know how to play poker

I let myself be roped into being a “celebrity hacker” in a charity poker tournament on Friday benefitting @eff.org

One of my friends from high school is having surgery today to remove cancer from one of his kidneys.

Anyway, fuck cancer. Get screened for all the things early and often please. View it as an act of rebellion against insurance carriers to use your preventative care benefits to the max.

AAP will continue to publish its own vaccine recommendations after CDC advisers sow distrust The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices plans to form a work group to review child and adolescent immunization schedules despite them undergoing constant review in real time.

The American Academy of Pediatricians bluntly telling us the current CDC can't be trusted, and of course they are absolutely correct

Photo of the back of a woman’s calves. On the right calf is a black and gray tattoo of Eileen Brennan as Mrs. Peacock in the 1980’s movie Clue. On the left calf is a tattoo of one of Mrs Peacock’s lines “I have absolutely no idea what we're doing here, or what l’m doing here, or what this place is about. But I am determined to enjoy myself and I’m very intrigued and oh my this soup's delicious isn't it?”

It’s not every day that you see Eileen Brennan while boarding your flight

Undocumented immigrants can't vote. They don't vote for Democrats because they can't vote. Democrats don't look the other way to let them into the country for votes, because, again: they can't vote. If you are a news org and people tell you otherwise, it's a lie, and you should call it that.

great question

A tattoo on my forearm which reads “we will get through this ❤️” in brown ink

Since our support is transitive, I had them tattoo the phrase in their handwriting instead of mine.

I am proud to share my first tattoo from www.instagram.com/indigopokes

I love it. It is a daily reminder to keep moving forward.

A card and care package gifts from Indie when I was going through some hard things last year.

Still, I thought it would be perfect for my first tattoo from them. We are a team, we support one another when we are going through hard times. As they’ve grown into adulthood this past year they’ve been there for me as I was for them when they were young. 4/

They now have 18 tattoos.

They have not gotten this tattoo. 🤣

When my kids were ages 6 and 8 (and for many years after) I often told them “we will get through this”. When they were 13, Indie confidently informed me that phrase, in my handwriting, would be their first tattoo and would be placed on their inner forearm. I said I would get a matching tattoo. 2/

My firstborn is trans 🏳️‍⚧️ nonbinary ⚧️ and a tattoo artist that now lives in California. They’re in Seattle for their brother’s graduation this week and brought their gear to give me a tattoo. There is a my other two tattoos are decorative but there is a meaningful story behind what I had them do. 1/

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Countdown to my freedom from Seattle

Life changes slow and then suddenly fast

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?

With almost no exceptions, every single cybersecurity breach occurs via mechanisms the technology industry knows how to fully and robust defend against, but didn't

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.

Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

Their inaction is deadly.

My firstborn graduated college today with dual bachelors degrees in psychology and philosophy and a 3.9 GPA, and did it in just 3 years. My second born graduates high school this Wednesday and starts college in August studying astronomy.

I am so unbelievably proud of them both. ❤️❤️

Time lapse of the No Kings protest today in Seattle

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name.

This is your legacy!

If he would want you to go to the protest, maybe honor him that way?

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country.

Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest.
