Met the love of my life in 1968 & together ever since, moved to #SFBayArea at 18 for SF State, drafted away by the #AlternateService as a CO, returned in ‘78. Was a #Union biomedical tech until retiring to Reno, NV. Resettled 03/22 in Vallejo. Never used Twitter but thought I’d give social media a go after learning about #Mastodon. Looking to find a local group of #Chess players. Favorite quote - It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

American Studies professor at a state undergrad-focused uni. Love books and reading, from literary to sci-fi to queer romance (NB: written by queers) to westerns. Art, music, movies, dancing, drag shows, the non-human/natural world

UBI reads like Welfare, more radical would be paid sleep, up to 8h. Monetize wellness, penalize stress & greed. Offline monitors generate a blockchain (submit voluntarily to community bank) verify how much paid sleep you put in. Sleep is the new work? UBI by REM! Absurdity never stops fascists, fight back! https://www.propublica.org/article/you-snooze-you-lose-insurers-make-the-old-adage-literally-true

Human being. I think.

Don’t feel compelled to follow back; I might ruin it. Ha! Just kidding, I won’t do it on purpose!

Sorry friend, but at this stage what they are calling AI doesn’t work for me.

Man about San Francisco. I want better public transit & biking infrastructure. I write code for money. I talk a lot about music & movies. Born & raised in Michigan. I have an incredible wife and two adorable/terrible cats.

My day job is a transportation librarian at a research institute at a large public university.
I see myself as an academic worker and unionist working to protect the public good.
I think it is the professional duty of library workers to make information and data accessible for all, and not to align with corporate interests.
I'm deeply concerned about the existential threat of climate collapse and a member of the radical bike lobby.
I'm also a letterpress printer and college radio DJ.

Enjoyer of absurd humor. Late diagnosed ADHD GenXer. Also very nosey. Currently Pugless. RIP Old Pug.

And joy that's shared is joy made double."

Maybe more of a silver thistle than a daisy flower...

Did enjoy the city :sf: (especially the #castro) in the good old days. Sweet memories of the 98 #KFOG #SkyConcert, #SFSU, #TalesOfTheCity, :ca1: and the time with my #hippie sister. Now I'm glad I found this virtual #BarbaryLane here.
