#OnThisDay four decades ago, my mom gifted me my first computer (an Apple //c).

It led to a tremendously fulfilling career in tech (including 22 years at Apple) and changed the trajectory of my life.

Merry Christmas.

Michelle Belser is the Block Captain for her Philadelphia block, keeping the streets clean and her neighbors involved. “It’s not about the clean-up. It’s about engaging with our youth,” Belser says. #Velshi #SmallActs

College students across the country experience food insecurity. “It’s 9pm and I’ve only had a granola bar,” Dat Duong, who leads efforts to alleviate the issue for UT Austin students, says. “That’s when … you start to see the problem.” #Velshi #SmallActs

@Cleopatra and this is why we need Culture to address these issues, but they're too afraid of that and so here we are.😞
I praise the #SmallActs series for telling us about the Black experience in Britain, I'm thankful for it, I don't feel threatened by it like some do.
I'm grateful for the education, I wish fellow White people would get over themselves and just listen, we'd understand people better.

“We don’t have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in change. Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.”

~ Howard Zinn

A zip code is an algorithm, a machine intelligence that can and does chat with other machines. And you don't know their secrets, but they know yours. Fight back. Smash the looms. Misinformate. #smallstories #smallacts

@dogtrax Always plant seeds, no matter how old. They might bloom, If not, an act of faith is a balm in a harsh world. Maybe they will. I will send you more. "Happiness held is the seed. Happiness shared is the flower." #smallacts #smallstories

@APoD I almost scrolled past this pic of the Lagoon Nebula. How the hell could I scroll past that? Maybe we diminish what we take note of. Maybe we just need to attend. Maybe attention must finally be paid out. Turn over every curious thing and poke it gently with a stick and consider and them move on to the next nebula. It's nebulae all the way down. #smallstories #smallacts
