Hey, PMs CTOs and tech leads,

consider actively hiring a black dev or two.

Trust me, we can do more than dribble basketballs and make you nervous in public places.

If "black lives mattered" we wouldnt be having this conversation every couple of years when one of us gets our throats mangled by the police.

@imani@playvicious.social This was me on my birthday last year. I went to Portland for the weekend and spend the whole time there in girl mode. Bought my lightsaber, went to a queer bar, and apologized to no one (except for my boyfriend and my partner, who had to save me from an allergy attack when I forgot I can't eat raw carrots

Woke up out of recharge cycle at 0300, unable to breathe. Couldn't get back to sleep. Can breath sort of normally now, but fem-voice is disabled.

i hate being meat

Lesbian Chess. Each side has two queens. the objective is to improvise an arrangement of the pieces of the board that opens a pathway to all 4 queens getting together in the middle.

I don't care when it comes out. I have to see the new Dune. Cause there's Black People in it!

This is part of the creative project I have decided is going to be my "2020 Project" to give me something to do while all this is going on. It took a lot of trial and error, but I am so very happy with the results.

Never has the guitar windmill ever been more emotioinal, or done with as much dignity and grace than in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. When B&T accidentally visit the Wyld Stallyns' future with the "totally excellent music" (that is actually theirs) The Council, and their acolytes? servants? followers" all do this amazing slow motion air guitar movement and the music swells and its just...

beautiful.

There are videos of Youtube cosplayers doing ASMR android and cyberware repairs, upgrades, and inspections.

I here I thought Youtube didn't allow porn.

Ugh, making PMVs is a little harder than I wanted it to be. But I'm gonna get this done by next month. Tentative release date is July 6th!

3 important questions to ask anyone who is in charge or appears to be in charge:

1. In whose interests do you exercise power?
2. To whom are you accountable?
3. How can we get rid of you?

I'm feeling better this Monday than I did last Monday. And I got last Monday off!

My thighs are sore AF, but I'm a damn good puppy.

he's satisfied with my work. I've actioned on all of my requested deliverables and he has no complaints. Not that he was worried, he just wanted documentation so he could speak to my worth.

My schedule will be changing again, probably back to Monday-Friday. I didn't have the bandwidth to try and advocate for my 4-10s, Cause after thinking about the everything in the world I really wasn't having the best time.

Unless you’re on the ground, are donating, or are a Black person affected by police, shut the fuck up about how we all should be burning shit down right now. Think about the Black Panthers and the causalties of Fergusion and other act Black resistance before you fix your mouth to suggest what we, “should” do.

Furthermore, riots do not make COVID-19 a hoax, nor are people who are concerned about infecting loved ones, “domesticated” for wearing masks or observing other ordinances.

Thank you.

So, what's the number up to?

I've fucking lost count. Or I just don't see the point of knowing the number. Cause it's always n+1.

1 dies. We film it. We post it, We're heartbroken. We cry, we comment, we protest. The filmers get arrested, harassed, defended, lauded, doxxed, and scrutinized too.

Maybe the cop is suspended. Maybe the cop is suspended without pay. Maybe the cop is leave of absence. Maybe the thin blue lie gets a little thicker with silent support, "Charity Balls", and increased budgets that are supposed to increase accountability, but so often get diverted in emergency appropriations for increasing the arsenal militarized hardware for even more violent reprisals against the heartbroken, grieving, and angry people who have had another tally mark added to the score of Them Vs. Us. Maybe the cop is fired. Maybe, possibly, someone, somewhere considers entertaining the possibilities of "what might happen" if there was hope of a rumor of the minuscule chance of a charge being considered to be maybe start the process of filing. Off business hours..

And we think. Maybe this time something will finally change. Maybe. Maybe. We hope, we pray. we grow fearful, and paranoid. We constantly move our eyes, sensitized to every possible reaction, flinching every time we hear sirens because we don't know what we're going to hear about in the next hour. Some buy guns. Some buy better phones. Some buy bullet resistant backpacks and teach their children de-escalation drills and body control and making yourself as small and harmless and non-threatening as possible, just because someone with a badge -that same someone I just told you last week you should go find if someone is in trouble, I know what I said, both things are true, baby, I'm sorry- can take offense at your child's appearance and kill them. And we know all the preparation won't be enough. Might not be enough. Could never be enough. And we try. We look into the faces of our kids when they ask us why?

And we try to answer. Some say because of jealousy. Some say racism. The devil, history, society all take their turn in living rooms, kitchens, bedroom closets and the safe cabinet under the kitchen counter where you think no one looks for you, but instead everyone knows that's where you go when you don't want to be found. Only coming out when you think everyone has forgotten about you and you can be safe again and your maybe a little hungry and feeling ready to be around people again.

GOTO 10

Just saw a DJ in mobile booth in the back of a transparent box truck, just rolling down the road. I love Seattle.
