Every day is a new chance to shape your story. Make it a bestselling adventure with unexpected plot twists and incredible victories.

The #Seattle City Council has confirmed me as a Commissioner on the Seattle #LGBTQ Commission. I want to thank Mayor Bruce Harrell for the confidence in me, the full City Council for the support and confirmation, and the Seattle Office for Civil Rights for their work and dedication. I look forward to serving the community and advancing #LGBTQIA+ rights in Seattle.

Do you live or work in Seattle? What should the Commission be addressing? Let me help amplify your voice! My DMs are open.

Oh, the fun spam that shows up. This time, my computer will expire in 2 days unless I update my payment info. No mention of software, so I assume they mean the hardware itself is on a countdown and will just... go poof? Imagine expiring computers. That sounds like an @rms nightmare come to life. #SpamHumor #PhishingFails #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

Windows 11 requires a TPM chip, newer CPUs, and other arbitrary specs. But why? Is your computer really 'outdated' or is this just someone else controlling you? GNU/Linux gives YOU the choice to use your hardware as long as you want. Upgrade to freedom with GNU/Linux. https://www.fsf.org/about/what-is-free-software #SoftwareFreedom #Windows #Windows10 #Windows11 #Microsoft

Here's a fun, made-up holiday: Cosmic Cookie Day. This is celebrated by baking cookies inspired by celestial bodies. Decorate them to look like like stars, planets, or even black holes, and share them under the night sky with friends and family while wearing glow-in-the-dark accessories. Please share your picures & receipes with the hashtag #CosmicCookieDay.

Meanwhile, in an alternate reality, every traffic light is equipped with a karaoke machine, and nobody can proceed until they've belted out an 80s power ballad. Traffic jams have become the hottest concerts in town, and honking is reserved strictly for encores. #KaraokeGridlock #SingYourWayHome

Rewatched The Measure of a Man. It's an exploration of sentience, rights, and ethics. Watching Picard defend Data never gets old. It's peak Star Trek: challenging, thought-provoking, and deeply human. #StarTrek #TNG
