#tmbg — Public Fediverse posts

@mrlee Someday I will get around to telling the full story of the night in 1978 (or was it 79?) when Marc, future #tmbg manager Jamie Kitman, future #rtlinux creator Victor Yodaiken (@vy), and I were spray painting anti-Apartheid slogans on walls around the Columbia campus and the campus cops busted Marc and let the 3 white boys walk away. Marc really was a force of nature and an inspiration. Wish we had stayed in touch after I left NYC for Santa Cruz.

Things that happen #inThisHouse:

The scene -- kids are out in the living room playing video games. I'm tidying off a thing so I can disassemble and move it. @Harena is in the office, next to the living room.

The following reconstruction is approximate, but at least partly accurate:

Kid 1 (yelling at game): Why!!
Me: 🎵 did they send her 🎵
Kid 2: 🎵 over anyone else 🎵
Kid 1: 🎵 how... 🎵
Me: 🎵 should I react? 🎵
Harena: 🎵 These things happen 🎵
Kid 2: 🎵 to other people 🎵
Harena: 🎵 they don't happen at all 🎵
Me: 🎵 in fact. 🎵
