It's not for fun, or any sense of community.
It's just trying to dull the pain.

I have friends everywhere.

100% artisanal, human-made bytes.

Anti-DEI is white supremacy. Black lives matter. LGBT+ rights are human rights. Healthcare, security, a decent income, and housing with dignity are human rights. Abortion is healthcare. Science is our best hope as a species. Kindness and empathy are the noblest of human traits.
