  1. Gen X. Dyslexic. Couldn't read properly until I was 11. Still sometimes can't tell left from right. Read more than two pages and I've already forgotten what I just read. That's just how my brain is wired. So I never did get more than a GED. Worked the ER as a patient advocate — on overnights I was the administrator on duty. Managed public communications at a 711-bed hospital in Brooklyn NY. Political organizer — worked the 2008 Obama campaign in Michigan and Ohio. Pro Union Pacifist. Follower of Jesus Christ. Convinced faith doesn't have walls. Traveled to Canada, Spain, the Philippines, and Peru. Love different cultures. Fred Rogers and Jane Elliott are my lifelong heroes.

    Not bad for a GED.

    Privacy nerd. Self-hoster. All-AMD workstation. openSUSE Tumbleweed. FOSS everything.

    Mastodon is my main social. bazurk.wtf is my corner of the web.

    Yeah I'm a lot. Deal with it.

  2. RE: mastodon.ie/@GurgelSegrillo/11

    Has the Regime disappeared Chris Smalls after embarrassing an Oligarch on his special day?

    Feels like something from a dystopian TV series, doesn't it.

    Not one celebrity, even the ones claiming to be satirical and subversive on the runway, could give a fuck, could they?

  3. 🚨 Attention Port of Long Beach workers! 🚨 Did you know that break rights vary significantly based on your classification? Union longshore workers enjoy strong protections, while non-union truckers often face violations due to misclassification. Know your rights, document any issues, and seek legal help if needed. Remember, retaliation for reporting is illegal!

  4. Unions want to build data centers because those are big jobs. But nobody wants them in their neighborhoods. We don't have to choose between jobs and exploitation - we can build big things that actually benefit people.

  5. I love ProPublica and the work that it does! But there is no ProPublica without its journalists.

    Join me in unsubscribing from @ProPublica until the strike is resolved in favor of the striking workers.
