This is the December 12, 2018 edition of Off the Hook, the hacker-produced weekly FM talk-radio show I’ve been part of for a decade.  I was the head producer on this episode, and in it we talk about a few different news stories, but beginning at 20:55 in the file we talk about the Tumblr purge which goes into effect today.  Special guest Dr. Kit Stubbs, educator and hacker, joins the panel (this week consisting of XioNYC, myself, and Gila) to discuss the cultural shift, not just on Tumblr but elsewhere, and its effect on the LGBTQIA+ communities as well as people in all lines of work and of life.

This is the final thing I’ll be posting to Tumblr, as I’m leaving this site in protest of the change.  This has been a fun place to doodle and keep up with cool folks and their work, but I don’t feel right sticking around anymore given Tumblr’s part in making things worse for everyone.

You can find me elsewhere on Twitter, Mastodon, Reddit, and all sorts of other places and email me here.  You can keep up with my artwork and projects via my website and my blog, which I’ll have to begin using regularly again.

Best wishes!
