Hi, new people, I'm Emma. I'm a queer, trans non-binary woman (she/they,) amateur astronomer, and wife of @cynthia1960.
I get paid to help people make web browsers, and have cats, a lot of tiny computers, and I like cooking, hockey, indie pop, shoegaze, and post punk.
I'm helping make the all-online version of #wiscon happen this year too.
The photo is Json, the youngest of our cats. They are extra, but I love them.

Glad that the Oakland City Council is at least showing more concern for bike lanes on Telegraph than for that stupid fucking head shop every jerk parks their car in the bike lane in front of. #tw
People continue to willfully conflate anti-colonialism with antisemitism in order to sustain colonialism. #tw

tfw you spend a half-hour work-shopping a joke inspired by a reply on hellsite.

Never forgetting how much hate the recognition that raising kids is a community project, and not the chattel of fathers, created. #tw

It'll never happen on Tory Dystopia Island, but what if Rivers Salomon was the new show runner for The Doctor?

We have to get searched to get into concerts and bars because some people think themselves entitled to guns. Now we have to show proof of vaccine because most of the same bunch think they they have the right to not get vaccinated. #tw
A place of Dutch crunch and Italian rolls, you have entered… (dissonant crescendo)
A bag of chips may not be a healthy snack, but it’s not a gateway to fascism like your yoga class might be. #tw

Makes sense. Probably the only CIA and NSA employees allowed to use Facebook are the ones working on the disinformation campaigns to get Trump reelected. 😆 #tw

Tech Job opening on my team, boosts very cool
My team is hiring for a Level 1 Information Security Analyst!
Trying not to dox myself: The company is worldwide but doesn't have worldwide hours, Fortune 1000, we're located in Portland Oregon and we're not fucking Intel or Nike (thank goodness). We also don't make bombs or work with the DoD so bonus points for not being evil (as much as you can in such a company so closely tied to global capitalism).
Culture is extremely queer-friendly, I'm openly transgender and lesbian and have received zero static from day one.
We're looking for fresh-outta-college type people or people looking to change careers who have good pattern recognition skills. Background in Analytics is of course cool, but we're also looking for backgrounds in Marketing, Journalism, GIS, General IT, you don't NEED a background in Information Security (we're good about teaching that stuff).
Position is based largely in the Portland Oregon area, but we're 100% remote work until at least February and likely longer (but that's just my opinion).
Any additional questions, please feel free to DM me. <3

"Actions have consequences" when millions are poor and unhoused but "why were they allowed to do this" when a few people regret transition.
The Right speaks only in riddles, folks. At the bottom of it all is just plain cruelty.
pleroma.crowesnest.io for celebrating colonialism and genocide
At Wisconsin, where I got my Masters, the US paid tribes a meager third of a million dollars for lands. This was not a fair deal. This was a deal with a gun pointed at someone's head. #tw
I didn't go to UC, but all the land sold by the US that went to UC's land grant was straight up stolen. No treaties.
