Thread from @sarahforpdx's campaign manager @GregoryMcKelvey on the write-in campaign for Raiford—and the recent related theft and vandalism of Sarah's yard signs.
This was done to a Black supporter of @sarah2020 today. Just unacceptable. If you want to do a protest vote that's fine but stop stealing from our BIPOC supporters, donor...
Oh great, as if 2020 couldn’t get any worse. Pandemic, riots, fires, and now…Gateway PCs. Gateway PCs. I just can’t even. 😜 engadget.com/gateway-pc-wal…

The ability to follow people who talk about the things you’re personally interested in is a feature, not a bug, of social networks. I don’t worry about “echo chambers”. What I *do* worry about is misinformation, propaganda and lies. Yet those existed *long* before the internet!
When this week started, I did not think I would be coordinating a foster home for a llama and two turkeys.
Everything is terrible, but at least there is a new episode of Remote Ruby! 🥳

Tiny heartbreak of the day: passed a local middle school. For 2 weeks its billboard has advertised pandemic distance learning laptop distribution scheduled for today. Now canceled due to the air being unbreathable.
