I'm not going to lie, I enjoyed my life a tiny bit more before I knew what this was 🀣 but truly love an honest review!

A very very unfortunate coincidence... Lol

I certainly don't think that's the case from the illustrator but I'll pass the feedback on!

Appreciate the call-out and helpful thoughts (will take your word for it so I don't have to Google it either lol)!

Would you mind DMing/emailing me? I can make some guesses obviously for what you see that I don't, but I really want to get the feedback to the illustrator too!

Also support@broadside.app works too if you're open to it!

Hey! Replying from my personal account -- I made Broadside.

We hired a professional political cartoon artist for this graphic (although AI art is typically in our emails!) and honestly I really have to stretch my brain to see what could NSFW about it - I do really appreciate the feedback!

Are you sick of my Broadside posts yet? Haha

I am SO passionate about making a tool that is *actually* for the people at any step in their political journey, but want to ensure that this helps people who already do civic work ASAP, too 😊

If you'd like a longer trial of Pro Broadside too, DM me!

Bluesky, friends!!

I'm looking to connect with someone who has gotten a bill passed by Congress/at state level πŸ“œπŸ” Politician or general advocate!

I'm making a tool that *should* help with civic participation (@broadsideapp.bsky.social) & can obvi use Google, but I want to know the REAL issues.

I funded this myself because I needed it, but as I collected this data, it was clear that we ALL need it!

Congress makes the legislature available, but I wouldn't call their API accessible. It's 2025, I'll change it if it no one else will!

@broadsideapp.bsky.social is live and I can't wait to hear what people think!

I made Broadside because the people need an easy way to hold our representatives accountable, understand policy, and tell their friends/family about it. This is just the beginning!

FSU just had its *SECOND* campus shooting in the past 11 years and we have reps actively introducing bills like this one...

Commending Trump is clearly high prio in the USA right now.

The disconnect is insane.

Watching an old presentation on the Netflix algorithm and the VP of Prod got feedback once that it was "fugly" lol

Here is my official proposal to bring that adjective onto more customer surveys.

OMG. Last night's lunar eclipse -- as seen from the Moon!

The Blue Ghost lander got this shot. The Sun is overexposed, but in the reflection you can see it's almost fully eclipsed by the Earth. πŸ§ͺπŸ”­

I've heard plenty of people say that kids today *just want to be influencers* or YouTubers. Funny enough, that NOW translates to: "I want to build a massive cult-like following so I can skip the whole merit thing everyone wants and jump straight to the top of the US government!" πŸ€ͺ
