Time for an #introductions

I'm a white cishet man, more or less living at the top of Privilege Mountain, trying to learn to dismantle and undermine that privilege.

Things I'm into:
• #roleplaying
• #linguistics
• #socialjustice
• #software
• #parenting
• #reading
• #videogames
• #kindposting
• #lego
• #comics
• #argyle

Things I'm (interested in?) learning about:
• #socialism
• #coops
• #urbanplanning
• And all the stuff above, naturally.

This is, of course, incomplete. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Uh. What do you do when the #introductions post you pinned to your profile is out of date? I guess you make a follow-up post with the correction, pin it and hope people notice?

Anyway, uh, in the above post, I describe myself as "cishet", but I figured out I'm actually pansomethingual? Only in the last, like, 8 months or so. I'm still a white cis man, so the thing about Privilege Mountain is still pretty accurate, though. But, yeah.

Good morning, bits and bytes.

Trust women.

Fediverse pro tip: If you're making a "LB" post or otherwise referring to something you boosted, reply to it. You can delete the original poster's name so you don't at them if you want, but it'll help your followers have context on what you're talking about.

Good morning, bits and bytes. 🌇

Riding the bike to take the kids to school this morning, it was so windy that it occasionally felt like a really strong person just stiff-armed me in the chest and bye-bye momentum. 😭

Into your arms again.
Shake me-ee

We watched another coupler episodes of She-Ra tonight. I think we're up through episode 11 or so. How use this soi good?!?! Dfdgnhdjjibdaesg!

I solved my forgot-to-bring-a-new-book-to-start problem by borrowing The Senior Software Engineer by David Bryant Copeland off the desk of a manager I respect quite a lot. We'll see how it goes.

I have some 40% off Under Armour discount codes for use on ua.com or the UA Shop app. LMK if you want one.

Good morning, witches and wicks. 🌇

Once again, I have short-sightedly neglected to bring a follow-on book when I was close to the end of my current book. Planning ahead is so hard. Alas.

Tonight we watched the prom episode of She-Ra and the one after. It took Bo not getting an invitation for me to realize he's not a princess. Like... obviously princesses have powers and Bo doesn't have powers, but... I just sort of assumed he was a princess? IDK.

Anyway, this show continues to be delightful and Wikipedia talks about the sexual tension between Adora and Catra, but doesn't mention between Catra and Scorpia or... any of the other more subtle stuff??!?

The 7yo drew some Pokémon at school today and they're pretty good, y'all. Proud papa. #Dadposting

What are people using for calendaring that isn't Google? Having just switched (most of) my email over to ProtonMail, I'm thinking about the next step of getting some healthier distance from Google.
