Richest man in the world wants to jail democratic socialist councillor who doesn’t serve his personal interests.

There needs to be a full-scale assault on the power of billionaires. Otherwise, democracy’s days are numbered.

Hi fediverse!

If you're reading this, I'm looking for work. I'm a ceramicist, photographer, and all-around craftsperson based out of the so-called San Francisco Bay Area.

Please let me know about any open positions for a:

🏺 production potter
🎨 studio assistant
🖌️ arts educator
🖼️ museum/gallery staff

I'm currently open to part time work and (paying) internships, ideally in the city proper but I'm also more than willing to commute to the east bay or the peninsula for the right position. If you have any leads on these or similar roles (or, tbqh, any open roles in the arts or arts management), please hit me up!

Thanks for reading this far; please enjoy some of my work as thanks. Boosts very much welcome and appreciated :)

a photograph of a number of ceramic pieces sitting on a colorful blanket. there are bowls, cups, sculptures, and vases in the group.
a work-in-progress photo of a penguin sculpture. it is very cartoonish in color and proportions, and seems to be making mischievous eye contact with the viewer.

Holding random American Jews responsible for the Israeli government's actions is antisemitic. #SF #bayarea

Over and over we’ve been told self-driving cars would solve our transport problems only for them not to deliver.

In 2023, Waymo and Cruise promised us their services had finally cracked the code — but a new scandal in San Francisco shows they deceived us once again. We need to stop falling for their fantasies and take real action to fix our transport system.

The Navy has finally acknowledged what scientists and residents have suspected for years: that toxic groundwater could surface at the Hunters Point Superfund site in SF.

The soil at Hunters Point is contaminated with radioactive material and other toxic substances. That the site could flood from the ground up is terrifying, to say the least!

Coucou les camarades
Pour un bouquin (une traduction), je suis à la recherche d'une personne arabophone qui voudrait bien relire un bref chapitre dans lequel le locuteur utilise des expressions arabes mélangées à son expression anglais (et du coup française).
Je ne parle ni ne lis l'arabe (et personne dans l'équipe), donc c'est un peu handicapant, et l'équipe édito et moi avons peur de faire une bêtise ou d'être imprécis par ignorance.
Je précise : il s'agit de l'utilisation d'une demi-douzaine de mots dans un chapitre de 30 000 signes. J'aimerais m'assurer de ne pas avoir fait d'erreur dans l'orthographe usuelle et dans les acceptions.
EDIT 1 : Je ne sais pas dans quelle conditions c'est rémunérable (ce n'est pas moi qui tient la bourse), mais je suis prêt à poser la question et mettre de ma poche au besoin :)
EDIT 2 : puisque la question ressort encore, je ne propose pas de "travail gratuit". Au besoin, on peut s'arranger pour faire une facture, mais sinon, je peux tout à fait pratiquer l'échange en nature (si vous aimez les livres, notamment) ou de services (je sais faire plein de choses en matière d'audiovisuel, par exemple), que ce soit immédiatement ou en différé.
Merci beaucoup par avance.
Les repouets sont appréciés.
EDIT 3 : Trouvé ! Merci beaucoup à toustes pour vos partages et vos retours !

Balaji Srinivasan is leading a growing tech movement to take over San Francisco and “ethnically cleanse” it of Silicon Valley’s critics.

On , I spoke to @gilduran about network states and tech billionaires’ turn against democracy.

Have to say this storm is the closest thing I’ve experienced to a category 1 hurricane on the west coast in the 14 yrs I’ve been here. The winds are literally howling through the trees and the power lines are whistling / singing.

And the river running thru my garage (because #SF is basically a sieve) is a PitA.

Migrating from Mastodon Books, so I figure I might do a new , too 🙂

Hi! I'm Eli. I have degrees in math, philosophy, and bioethics; I do software QA; David Graeber quoted my blog in Bullshit Jobs; and I write fiction.

Currently I'm working on a comic novel inspired by classic fantasy and folktales, but you can find my first two books below:

Let's talk about how we can write, read, and live better stories together! 🤝

the cover of the final days of kobold kody's frontier exposition and tonic show (by me, eli horowitz) the top of a circus tent it shown against a starry night sky. above, the title is interposed with several images: a short sword, a lightning bolt, snake scales, a box of fire, and two hands scrying in a crystal ball, which reveals the shape of a wave
