I used to make websites. I wrote “Design for Community.” I designed the original Blogger. I created JPG Magazine, Fray, Kvetch, Cute-Fight, and more.

Now I grow flowers and turn them into CBD products for https://milkbarn.farm. I take care of 30-something chickens, 13 goats, 3 dogs, 2 cats, and my wife and myself in Boring, Oregon.

Nazis, TERFs, and Republicans can fuck off. Do not explain capitalism to me.

He/him.

Proof of pepper planting.

Many pepper plants in a garden bed.

The very specific joy of last year's irrigation setup still working in spring.

One reason everyone's so delighted by photos of the aurora is that it's a glimpse that the Universe is still alive, infinite, and beautiful outside of Donald Trump's colon, which we've all been trapped in for several years now.

@stevesilberman genuinely the most delightful night on social media in forever.

Summer really coming on strong this year. I’m happy about it but I’ve gone from being ahead of the curve with my planting prep this year to suddenly being way behind.

The camera lies! It's much more subtle to the naked eye. But hey!

Tomorrow I will be on Marc Andreesen’s Twitch stream “On Account of Woke” to explain the Kendrick/Drake beef

I have been planting peppers all day and I am finally ready to admit that I started too many peppers.

@WhippoorwillSong oh sure, I’m just running out of places to plant the starts.

@daniel_meyers three Anaheim chilies, Daniel. THREE.

@blikkie @WhippoorwillSong I have 300 hemp starts that beg to differ.

The tomatoes I planted out on Wednesday look very unhappy.

Course that’s not stopping me from planting out the peppers.

I think Dorsey never wants to think about users again. He just wants to own the protocol layer. He’s gonna have a bad time.

@scottandrew men like him always think they’re the exception. That everyone else “caves” to the “demands” of community management. As if people were computers that just needed the right software and then there’d be no more problems.

They’re all wrong, of course.

I was having fun prepping my pepper plants for planting today and Heather captured the moment of botanical joy.

Let’s rephrase this JFK Jr brain worm story:

Known liar and conspiracy theorist claimed “a doctor” said he had a brain worm in an attempt to hold on to his fortune during a divorce proceeding even though he was born rich.

Less funny, more accurate.

@WillA763 we know he’s a liar and that’s all we need to know

@RinostarGames The real fake news is that he has a brain at all

Overwhelmed by the world, today I plunged my hands into the soil.

It helped.

Trump, facing consequences for the first time in his life, goes back to the old troll classic: posting and deleting. This case has already determined (correctly) that retweets are actually speech, will the judge be smart enough to see this for what it is: sending out inflammatory messaging, trusting the troll army to capture and reproduce it, and then deleting it to avoid punishment? We'll find out soon.

Quite the mind fuck being an American Jew and descendant of Holocaust survivors right now, as nazis and republicans call Jewish protesters “antisemitic.” I don’t blame anyone for being confused by it all. Just know that your Jewish friends have been angry about it for a long time. And remember that anyone claiming to speak for all Jews probably isn’t.

We have long watched as the worst people use us as an excuse to enact their power fantasies. Please don’t believe them when they do.

@darkandandstormy Yup! But please don’t use that site. They pay nazis.
