The teenagers are SO excited about tomorrow: ❄️ *SNOW DAY*! ❄️

Schools are closed here in northwest #Vermont. Some businesses are closed.

Of course, for me being a remote worker, tomorrow is just... Monday! 🤣

#Vermont - Activists target #ICE digital surveillance site in Williston

> Over the last two months, activists have increased their actions against an ICE office in the White Cap Business Park.

I maintain a list of all the public library websites in the state of Vermont. I run a link checker against it maybe once or twice a year to see what's changed. There are ~180 websites. A few trends I noticed on this most recent check.

- fewer libraries using Facebook as their library website
- fewer libraries using part of the town's website as their library website
- more libraries using https

All good trends!

Heard the ice hitting our metal roof last night and woke to everything covered in a layer of it.

Nasty out there, #Vermont. Stay safe please.

@dansup agree with last sentence. I lived in Los Angeles and hated it for just how you described. Now I live in #Vermont where there are “nine months of winter and three months of darned poor sledding”

My #introduction needs a refresh.

I'm a #PhD student at the University of #Vermont, studying the #Evolution of #Evolvability. I'm into #AI, #ALife, #Biology, and #Philosophy, because I want to understand #life, #adaptation, and #intelligence using my native language of #ComputerScience. I share my musings and #research on my #blog. I love #science generally, and am full of bitchy #AcademicChatter.

I was a #SoftwareEngineer in #SiliconValley for many years, but left in 2021. I'm glad I did, and now I feel a bit betrayed by the #TechIndustry. I've been going back to my #FOSS roots, and gradually #DeGoogle ing my life. I still love to talk about #code #craft, #UX, and healthy #engineering #culture. Recently I've been enjoying #gpu #programming, mostly in #taichilang.

I have a wife and a #cat. I love #nature, #photography, #cooking, and #yoga.

All kinds of people are valid and worthy, but #trans people, folks on the #autism spectrum, and #bipoc get a shout out right now because they need our support.

Yesterday at the Burlington #Vermont food shelf I gave away 32 pairs of used reading glasses. I wasn't sure if there would be much interest but they were pretty popular. All gone in about 2.5 hours. We set up a display by the check-in desk and people were constantly trying them on.

It's sad that it doesn't go without saying, but the Circuits in the Woods festival is all-access, kind, welcoming of all the ways electronics can be used in / as music, and absolutely positively non-oppressive (aka racism, misogyny, trans- or homophobia will absolutely NOT be tolerated -- or, to be really plain, NO FUCKING NAZIS).

#Synthesizer #Vermont #CircuitsInTheWoods

Hello Mastodon!

This is the official Mastodon profile for Circuits In The Woods, a celebration of electronic music in Brattleboro Vermont, November 15, 2025.

Over the coming weeks we'll be posting info about the festival, links to the participants' music, as well as meeting like-minded musicians and music lovers across the Fediverse.

We'd be delighted if you give us a follow and share us with anyone who might dig what we're doing.

It's nice to hear that CEO is working on coop conversations. Our IL CEO seems to be focused on ESOPs

Nice article on the transition of a #Vermont winery to a #workercoop that our organization provided support to through the process. https://www.commonsnews.org/issue/827/827winery_transition
