      This is our cycle to break.

Being raised in a society where thinking about race is optional means you've gotta be intentional in your steps, especially those of you with "ally" in your bios.

I watch fellow white folks lean into that "optional" path every day and it's obvious.

      I've never made any suggestions for a course of action white people could take not to be racist that was actually too hard for them to humanly manage or unreasonable here. The only reason they don't choose them is they have more fun being racist.

      convincing a room full of fellow nerds to sing a silly song with me remains one of my proudest achievements as an open source dilettante, even if the 'edge' hype aged poorly 😅

      My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse
