Feeling hit by a train with all of the SCOTUS news. Overturning of 100 year old gun regulations that kept cities safe, gutting the EPA during the climate crisis, overturning roe v wade. Set backs that takes us back to the 1950s—or worst the 19th century. If you are feeling scared I am here with you.

At the same time I lean on stories from history, of people who have lived through worst times and still made an impact for good. Here is a Marie Curie quote that I personally love that gives me hope. Hang in there everyone! ❤️

What better way to talk about computers as creative tools than talking about the invention of MIDI! Guess what musicians inspired this illustration!

Alan Turing is considered one of the greatest minds ever for his pioneering work in theoretical computer science and AI. His life was cut short when the UK government persecuted him for being gay. He is remembered for being a war hero and a genius. ⚙️

Posted this same image 5 years ago.
I’m so sick of this. From Sandy Hook to Buffalo to today in Texas and the thousands of shootings that happen each year that get no press. It makes me sick— we need to fix our gun laws!
