The log checking is done, and I indeed did come 1st in North America for 10m QRP at the 2025 CQ WW SSB contest!

All the sweeter because my antenna was homebrew (and blew down two days later 😂).

I think it would be fun to have a homebrew superhet category for these contests.

That is why the Trumpists have been raging against liberal white women like Renee Good (who not only betrayed her duty to submit to male authority, but also her obligation as a *white* women to sustain the ethno-state); why thex have been deriding Alex Pretti as a “race traitor.”

What we’re seeing are not “protests,” but what Adam Serwer has so aptly called “neighborism”: Acts of democratic solidarity that directly confront the political project that is fueling the violent occupation and defy the MAGA vision of terrorizing those who don’t “belong” into isolation.

The push for the adoption of "AI" in healthcare and education is a push to dismantle healthcare and education for the masses.

And, after that, a formal apology for colonialism, national resource theft, using the island for bomb testing, the force sterilization project, the Ponce Massacre, the death of Pedro Albizu Campos, basically everything about the 40s and 50s migration, putting the American on the Times cover who admitted killing Puerto Ricans by injecting them with cancers. Putting him on the cover *after* he admitted to all that.

What else am I forgetting?

RE: https://mastodon.social/@blogdiva/112208331867673411

ME on the 2019 #PuertoRico protests and #generalStrike that brought down the government of Ricardo Rosselló, not only as a consequence of #Telegramgate but because he was the most corrupt governor the island had to put up with ―even more corrupt than his own father, a George Bush wannabe.

Bad Bunny, Ricky Martín and René Pérez were instrumental in coalescing all La Isla’s opposition & taking the protests worldwide with their media connections.

LOL, Blacksky announced it will have Blacksky only posts soon and white devs are losing their fucking minds.

I'm sorry but that's just hilarious to me because instance only posting is such a common feature in the indie social web ecosystem.

But, like blocklists, it becomes a problem when Black folks use these tools to set boundaries.
