"J Positive" is Joel, a uniquely gifted artist, and a young man with Down syndrome, sharing his views on art, life, and love.
Joel says "I see things different. I think that's a good thing."
Proud Dad is admin (and Hard Fork fan).

Computers, systems, and opinions formed the hard way. An optimistic curmudgeon.

The name is just wishful thinking! An active scholar but semi-retired professor, working in a range of fields (English, art history, Black and gender studies, digital humanities), also just a fan of podcasts. And cats. Living in the US for the past 35 years but originally from Germany, so always comparing cultures. I'm on corporate social media (FB only) for the connection with friends, but get ads and algorithms instead. So I will try this! @markatlnk #JillAndOllie

Created by @craiglambie42 inspired by conversations on this server.
But mostly looking for a simple subscription model type way of helping more than a few creators out with a coffee here and a kopay there, a patreon here.

I'm here because I follow @kevin and @Casey, hosts of the Hard Fork podcast -- a lighthouse in the singularity storm. They created this little island of sanity in the churning ocean of social media madness, and I couldn't resist seeking a mooring. Also I don't know the first thing about boats.

I own the rather stupid domain "infinitequack.net", my junkyard of half-finished software, but you can read my blog there: https://blog.infinitequack.net/
