I inject people with radioactivity as his day job, but only to serve the forces of good. Poly, writer, publisher, sociologist. He/his. https://stevesaus.com
I'm Steven, a mid-forties (damn) guy who's a white #cisgender straight male. I like using my privilege to upend things. The status is not quo.
I'm a #polyamorous #writer and #publisher who plays #roleplayinggames. I'm an agnostic who can still make a religious argument. Leftist, prior service US Army, and user of the Oxford comma. I've been a landlord who earned real money renting virtual land, and love doing panels at conventions.
And that's my #introduction. Say hi!

When everyone is using encryption apps, "the fact that you are using the app at all is not an indicator that you are someone the government might be interested in watching"—and that makes everyone safer, says EFF Staff Technologist Erica Portnoy. http://nymag.com/consent.html?redirect_uri=%2Fselectall%2F2018%2F06%2Fthe-implications-of-iran-and-russias-attack-on-telegram.html%3Fvia%3Dgdpr-consent&redirect_host=nymag.com&orig_qs= source: https://twitter.com/eff/status/1013603162698276864

@Algot monoculture is a HUGE problem, not only bc of roundup ready. Capitalism creates the conditions for cash crops like soybeans and corn, which the state subsidizes. What’s the impetus for growing other things when the government pays farmers (independent and corporate) to grow one or two things?
Not to mention the total inefficiency of livestock, which takes massive amounts of energy and water to raise and process. Totally unsustainable.
The world is terrible and everything is scary, but don’t forget love. It’s still there and it’s still beautiful. We’re all scared and angry and tired, but don’t forget to love yourself and let others know that they’re loved.
Take care of yourselves and each other. Be kind to yourselves and to those who deserve your kindness.
