At some point recently on Twitter I passed 100,000 tweets. Twitter was my thing. I loved my tribe here. I am so sad and angry, but — and I should have done this months ago — I can’t keep contributing to Musk’s Twitter. 📷 instagram.com/chrisphin 🐘 mastodon.social/@chrisphin – at Scotland, United Kingdom

I’ve realised it’s important I say it, especially here: I don’t believe for a second that Musk’s Nazi salute was coincidence. I believe it was a day-one test-of-the-waters from the Edgelord-in-Chief.

We need to say it. Because we actively need to make the waters inhospitable to fascists; letting it pass shifts the Overton window another millimetre to the right.

We can denounce the transphobia, the climate vandalism and more of this administration, but let’s not forget to call Nazis Nazis.

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out."

I may occasionally post here still, either to keep my account active (to avoid someone using my name and because Twitter is an amazing external memory for me) or for reasons of activism or fundraising, but: goodbye, folks. I don’t assume you’ll miss me, but I’ll miss you so much. – at Scotland, United Kingdom

Popping back onto Twitter to say I’m cisgender, or ‘cis’. That’s not a slur; it’s hard to imagine it even being deployed as one with any seriousness. (I’m also queer. That WAS a slur, and remains so for some, but it’s reclaimed. Language is complex and nuanced. Unlike Elon Musk.) – at Scotland, United Kingdom

This has been one of my guiding philosophies for years. It’s pertinent in #PrideMonth but honestly it applies year-round regardless of your identity. #pride #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtqia #gsm #gsrm #queer #kink – at Scotland, United Kingdom

It’s halfway through #PrideMonth 2023. What have you done? 🏳️‍🌈 If you’re #queer, I hope you’ve found joy. If you’re not, I’d love you to share the things you’ve done to fight for your #LGBTQIA+ siblings. ♥️✊🏻 youtu.be/pS_VY9DKx_8 Donate to Stonewall: donorbox.org/support-stonewa… – at Scotland, United Kingdom

Happy #PrideMonth! 🏳️‍🌈 A wee video from me on the power of labels (feat @OMGImAutisticAF) and understanding some of the differences and similarities in a few bi+ identities. 🩷💜💙 youtu.be/l64uq5lUPfc #queer #bi #bisexual #omnisexual #pansexual #polysexual #pride #lgbt #lgbtq

Following up from my video yesterday, here’s a little more info on bisexuality, including (for me) the definitive definition, plus some info on polysexuality, which my video didn’t cover. #queer #bi #bisexual #omnisexual #pansexual #polysexual #pride #lgbtq #lgtbqia #gsrm #gsm – at Scotland, United Kingdom

I’m now on Bluesky… though I don’t think I really want to be. 🤪 bsky.app/profile/chrisphin.b… (The fact that this tweet links to a Bluesky post that links to a Mastodon post is… a bit on the nose.) Hit me up on Bluesky though and we’ll see. – at Scotland, United Kingdom

Does this solution exist: a call-centre-style headset that can connect to a Mac/PC, but which can also be flexible enough so multiple headsets can connect to a single Mac/PC?

I’m imagining this would be achieved by each coming with a 3.5mm TRS/TRRS connector AND a 3.5mm ▸ USB converter for single voice, but then also being able to plug the 3.5mm connectors into some sort of USB splitter interface. Two would be okay, four would be better. Bus powered.

It’s been fun doing some business development and creative work for a friend recently. Not tagging them because they want this to be at #WWDC, but you might recognise the logo in this rejected early design draft… (All hand-lettered by me in @Procreate, shared with permission!) – at Scotland, United Kingdom

The Swift Over Coffee podcast is back, with @twostraws and @mikaela__caron! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas… I had the honour of editing this first S3 episode. If you’re curious about how a podcast comes together after it’s recorded, here’s a little timelapse! youtu.be/a9I2i8q0LIE – at Scotland, United Kingdom

omg this has just blown my mind in the most incredible way: #ASL (and, I assume, other sign languages) are evolving before our very eyes into one-handed languages, because of the rise of smartphones and video calling. vm.tiktok.com/ZGJxangXQ/
