Early #bitcoin adopter, early #bitcoin spender.
Studied #programming and #philosophy in college.
Lover of #anime, #food, #books, and #tea.
I guess I've been away for awhile, I didn't even realize Alby was stopping their legacy wallets earlier this year.
I forgot I had a #Nostr account 😅
Both of my parents never went to college and they both graduated with GEDs at different points in their life.
I'm a first gen college grad and trying to learn about investing, a master's degree, and be a teacher.

See I'm the 180° flipside of cutting #AmeriCorps and #JobCorps, I want them fully funded and provide similar benefits as the military 🤓
#AmeriCorp was basically defunded and shrunk down. An organization that literally helps people all over the country and providing ways for Americans to give back to their communities through volunteering and helping during relief efforts.

AP News
AmeriCorps members who respond to disasters and help nonprofits are let go in DOGE cuts
Young volunteers who respond to natural disasters and help with community projects across the U.S. have been discharged.
#NLRB whistleblower could lead to DOGE treason?

See I put my money where my mouth is and buy American made and #union made clothes from #DSA, campaigns, even some of the union merch from the unions I'm in.
But I also see the price of those items compared to a shirt I could get off #Temu or #AliExpress.

Made an account on #Monocles and now have a #Movim account for #XMPP, an email account I'm using with #DeltaChat, and #Nextcloud I could pay for storage.
It's great one account for all the services.
I do find it a bit hilarious that #Twitter is down during the #FediverseHouse event 😂
Cheers to more people on #Bluesky, #Mastodon, and #Threads
I'm just working out to eventually do thirst trap Pokémon pack openings 🥺

Lemme see your cats 🐱 
I do this at least once a week where I go to cook something or heat something up in the air fryer or kettle and forget to turn it on until it's been well past it would be done.

Finding out someone you wingmanned for in high school is now married to the woman is crazy. 🧐
Well the nonprofit sector must be lighting up right now, now that #Slack is down lol
Can GMail, Teams, and Zoom go next, preferably all at the same time 😈
So #JohnOliver talked about #Meta and #Zuckerberg's "new" content moderation policies. #Mastodon and #Pixelfed were very briefly mentioned as alternatives to #Facebook and #instagram. About the 25 minute mark.
I hope to see some new faces or interest from this segment.

This is getting tiring honestly.

Trump order declares independent US agencies aren’t independent anymore
Order says independent agencies can't contradict Trump's legal interpretations.
This might be controversial but #CobraKai definitely felt like old school YouTube productions in the way of Rocket Jump and the Video Game High School series mixed with 80s spoof and homage.
