There’s been a lot going on, as usual, but it’s kind of been a quiet online couple of weeks for me. I’ve mainly been focusing on in-person projects. Rearranging furniture, hanging new blinds, working on Halloween costumes, etc.

I hope that all of you have been doing well. I’ve had some of the regular ups and downs, but the past few weeks have overall been really great for me. I’ve been reminded again and again that I am thankful and lucky to have the best friends and partners to lean on for support.

This is going to be a busy week at home, and I’ve been a bit slow on the newsletter. If you have anything going on that you want to share, I’d be happy to chat in an email reply!

The Internet Is Not Facebook: Why Infrastructure Providers Should Stay Out of Content Policing – Corynne McSherry & Jillian C. York, EFF

I hesitate to highlight this article from EFF, an organization that I am a supporter of and donor to. I can believe that they have good intentions for being concerned about speech being limited online. But if these companies are truly infrastructure, treat them like it and regulate them as such.

"2010: don’t use emojis in work communications it’s unprofessional

2022: so I saw your :blobsweat:reaction in the slack thread, I appreciate the honest feedback and would love to know what adjustments we can make to turn that :man-frowning::skin-tone-3: into a :partyparrot:"
