Danny Glover has a recitation that I like too. The National Archives had a recitation of a much longer version of the speech with additional context: https://www.youtube.com/live/uRvQL8-Qokg

There are some ways that Mr. Douglass’s words are fortunately no longer true, but in many many many other ways are still very unfortunately still relevant.

Yep, that’s my goal. I’m going to check all of these projects out. Thanks for the recommendations.

I’ve been shopping for some sort of cross platform (namely iOS / Android) service like this or Apple’s Find My Friends that I’d could have some assurance that this kind of content would be kept safe and private. The search continues …

Up hill conversation to get people who are against vaccines to trust a predatory for profit medical industry that has given us all reason to distrust.

Fuck that.

Personally, I’d like the entirety of the United States to buy local from all types of restaurants instead of letting corporations pave over our regional food cultures.

I wonder if data going into the hands is also wireless when they’re attached. Seems like a rather critical set of functions to go with wireless instead of a hard connection. Maybe wireless fidelity has improved enough that concerns about things like interference aren’t as big as they used to be.

Growth imperative. Greed will never be satiated.
