In this space, and online in general, I mostly talk about computers — as well as tabletop games, cats, dogs, baking, and other comparatively trivial topics.
At the same time, in the US we are currently living through a time where the government is increasingly attacking the people of this country, imprisoning people without cause, and ignoring the Constitution. Worldwide, others are dealing with the consequences this as well, not to mention the rise of the far right in their own countries.
I don’t actively talk about this a ton online — not because I don’t care, but because being politically loud on the Internet is not where I really feel I can be effective at that kind of change. But at the same time, it feels wrong not to acknowledge the reality we live in.
Among other things, I donate heavily to organizations that do good work and match my values. For a list of orgs that I’d encourage you to support, click through to the rest of the post. For more computer and pet content, go ahead and scroll down!
