(1/7) I suppose #Fediverse isn't the place people are discussing #RobReiner. But after 36 hours of deliberating whether to say anything, I feel compelled. This thread will be long,but I start w/ most important part:
It's an “open secret” in the #FOSS community that in March 2017 my brother murdered our mother. About 3k ppl/year in USA have this experience, so it's a statistical reality that someone else in FOSS experienced similar. If so, you're welcome in my PMs to discuss if you need support…
I posted a 7-post thread re: #RobReiner murder, #Trump's response,& my own personal experiences that relate closely to these events of the last 36 hours.
I hope folks will read those 7 posts (linked below), & boost/share those posts widely.
I don't like begging for boosts, but I've delayed nearly 10 years to speak publicly on this & I only do so now b/c my experience is useful & relevant for the political discourse in this terrible moment.
