The journey of tech empowerment and liberation from tech bros can be a long, bumpy road.

The biggest tech regret of my adult life is that I didn't use a custom domain name as my main email address, so that when things invariably go south, I can simply hop to a new email provider.

The hundred or so email aliases I made with #Proton are a real headache right now. Time to clean up my mess.

Some Ursula K Le Guin energy to make it through the day ❤️‍🔥

@shom you mean the other digits? Aw I wish I had friends who could go as 56, 66, 155, and 237 🥲 (it's me, my husband, his parents, and two kids)

Low effort #Halloween costume this year: I guess I'm just going to get a white felt sheet, cut out the number 4, pin it on my black sweater and call it a day 😂

Do I know people in Lisbon that would be interested in arranging an event around "Digital Solidarity" (the book, @alineblankertz and I published early September 👉 https://www.structural-integrity.eu/our-book-is-out-digital-solidarity-on-overcoming-capitalist-technology/)?

I will probably be there in November or December and would love to engage with groups and people about post-capitalist tech!

@leonieke I'm a bit of a troublemaker, I guess 🤗😅

There has never been a better time to introduce young French people to the wonderful world of decentralized social networks and - optional - #selfhosting.
