He/Him. Pro-BLM, pro-LGBTQ, pro-BIPOC. Fuck Trump, Zuck, Musk, and Bezos and anyone else who is anti-DEI or bigoted in any way.

David Ellison, son of billionaire and Trump supporter Larry Ellison, looking like a damn insufferable prick.
Jack Dorsey, CEO of Block, looking like a complete douchebag. Headline reads "Block cuts nearly half its workforce, CEO cites AI tools"

Screenshot of a Twitter post from Brian Allen @allenanalysis says: JD Vance is now claiming that when settlers arrived in the New World, they "found widespread child sacrifice" and that "Christian civilization ended the practice." Archaeologists and historians, including experts in North American Indigenous history, say this is a complete fabrication. There is zero evidence of widespread child sacrifice among First Nations. This isn't a slip. It's racist revisionism dressed up as patriotism. And it tells you exactly how far they'll go to rewrite history to justify oppression.
Screenshot from the attached article URL. It aays: Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt says Americans need to make work / life ‘tradeoffs’ to compete with China.Easy for a guy who never has to work another day in life to suggest other people need to change their work / life balance. What Forbes calls China’s “cutthroat work culture,” of 996 (9AM to 9PM, six days a week) others simply call human rights abuse.

Sylvi Listhaug was completely silent when a German politician with neo-Nazi roots came to cause a ruckus in Oslo. But when a climate activist protests peacefully, Listhaug will expel her.
A few practical rules: 1. If someone says or does something bothersome, tell them. Do it calmly and clearly - but go in assuming positive intent. Let them validate that they're awful before assuming so. 2. If you're unclear what someone said or wants, tell them. Lots of people are foggy communicators. So give them a chance to explain with more precision, so confusion doesn't lead to something worse. 3. If you want something that you feel someone is denying you, tell them. It's not fair to be pissed about promotions missed or needs unfilled if it's hidden from the person who you expect to make it happen. 4. If you feel something good about someone, tell them. We've yet to meet the person who doesn't relish compliments. You can literally make someone's day, and avert future issues, if you share sincere praise with abandon.
Picture of myself with Jinkx Monsoon in a gay club. She was performing in the drag show that night. She's wearing red hair and a green dress, with a pearl necklace.

A snippet of the attached article reads: When Newsom platforms someone like Charlie Kirk, he isn’t fostering a “discussion” on transgender people in sports—he is handing a known hate monger a microphone to denigrate an already vulnerable community. That’s the real objective. Newsom isn’t engaging in open dialogue or debate; he is recalibrating his political stance to make targeting transgender people seem palatable, selling that shift to his base as a strategic necessity. And he’s doing it by giving one of the most notorious anti-LGBTQ+ extremists a seat at the table.
BBC headline says How Zelensky's lack of a suit may have fuelled Oval Office spat
Quote from attached article: Although several positions supporting [bird flu efforts] were notified of their terminations over the weekend, we are working to swiftly rectify the situation and rescind those letters,” a USDA spokesperson said in a statement
“The official DOGE Facebook page started harassing me on my personal Facebook account after I criticized Tesla and Twitter,” Spitzer-Stadtlander wrote in a post over the weekend on Linked In. “Less than a week later, I was fired, despite my position allegedly being exempted due to national security.” He added: “When DOGE fired me, they turned off my computer and wiped all of my files without warning.” Spitzer-Stadtlander said he was supposed to be exempted from the probationary firings because the FAA office he worked in focused on national security threats such as attacks on the national airspace by drones.
How dare you say it's unsustainable to celebrate the events of the biggest minorities in the world! You're keeping your Google Doodle. How hard is it really to transfer those dates to the Google calendar?? Not at ALL, especially for a multibillion dollar corporation! I am SO DISGUSTED with Google bending the knee to Trump and his dictatorial ways! Have a spine and stand up for what's right!! I have been a Google fan for OVER 20 YEARS and I'm also an Android developer, and you're making me SERIOUSLY question my loyalty. I would like this message shared WIDELY within your organization and I'd like for upper management to see this as well. I am one of the people always on the forefront of technology, teaching and showing my friends and neighbors, and Google is losing my trust. I'd hate to have to tell them about DuckDuckGo and other alternatives.
