Cis he, Canadian, kind of a nerd, bad at shitposting.
Likes electronics, drums, coding, cooking, bicycles, and books.
Got a 3D printer a few days ago; will be printing parts and things to avoid buying more stuff... the justification is weak but I’ll take it.
Pineapple is still a thing.
It’s been a while... oh good still the same here (at first glance)
Hi mastodon, I haven’t visited in a while because... I forgot.
Not about the neat people, but about the app, and the website... does that make sense?
"So i just came out to my dad abt being #nb, and he said something really wise about names, i think.
He said “Gifts are not obligations. You give things to people, and you hope they like them. And your name was a gift from us to you. If it doesn’t work for you anymore, you’re not obligated to keep it.”
and i just thought maybe other people could use hearing something like that."

A couple more pictures of the #bookbinding project I did yesterday and this morning with @cypnk ’s lab notebook as inspiration. As I said yesterday I’ll want to do this again with more precision and better quality materials, but this gives me an idea of size and scale starting points :)

I’d forgotten how relaxing bookbinding can be!
Look around you. Look around you. Just look around you.
Have you figured out what we’re looking for yet?
That’s right: the fundamental contradictions inherent to capitalism.
Facebook isn't listening to you, they're doing something vastly more complex and creepy!
Set up my Chromebook with Debian this time and for the first time ever went for an ~Aesthetic~
Bunnie, of chibitronics fame weighs in on Dale Dougherty v. Naomi Wu... There looks like some good perspective there if anyone is interested in Maker Politics:

Geoff Berner - Volcano God
This guy was playing a show with Rae Spoon at the west end cultural centre in Winnipeg. He was a lot of fun, and led a singalong of “Dalloy polizei” (Fuck the police) that was a lot of fun also! #music #recommendation #AnotherRealOne

They’re from Ontario and pretty great, I saw them in Winnipeg at I think either a Pride event, or just something from one of the local queer community groups. It was a while ago so I forget the details. #music #recommendation #RealOne
When I was in college me and some drunken fellows inflvented parkour not knowing that it already existed... we called it “extreme walking”.
I would do the music thing, but some of my recommendations would be songs that I really don’t like, but pretend to like in order to look cooler than I am.
Every one of you is precious and wonderful and unique and necessary and deserving of life and love and peace.
Anything your brain does to try to convince you otherwise is a mean trick.
Please try to remember this. Remember it unceasingly.
