Erstwhile product manager by day, ex-Gotham Roller Derby skater by night. Bluesky friends, please follow @ap.brid.gy on Bluesky so I can follow you back.

Brooklyn-dweller. Leftist. Writer (by hand). Photographer (with film). Art, cinema, and literature enthusiast. A fan of urban planning and design as it relates to building and strengthening community. You’ll see me post about all these things.

As of writing this bio in 2026, I am concerned about climate, biodiversity, and sustainability. I'm trained as a physicist, but interested in how I can help reduce humanity's impact on the planet. I work in a scientific instrument company doing holographic microscopy. I'm into free and open source software (FOSS), sociocracy, non-violent communcation (NVC), unschooling, identifying plants and animals. Currently being a dad and a husband is a big part of my life. I live in northern New Jersey.

Seeking connections about dogs, film, and politics. LFGM. Look for my photography over at @NYSloth and my handful of videos over at @NYSloth

I like punk music, Panathinaikos and Peep Show. ✊🌹I’m mostly here to post photos. All photos are my own work and mostly taken on my iPhone.

Founder of econify: a software development shop. I helped bring you WiFi. Environmentalist. Friend of people who play fair.

#Brooklyn , NY native, a very mad #magician, amateur #minipainter, and all over the place with a sense of humor, that sometimes I live to regret.

I am pretty sure I am a robot.

Formerly an Enterprise Architect at a media company.

I *only* speak for myself, which is nice. #FollowMe if you want to listen into the ramblings, or see my stuff from Pixelfed, and don't hesitate to say hi!

An absolute terror of a person. Writing highly deficient code during the day. Redeeming qualities include an almost daily Wordle habit, random thoughts interspersed with really bad pictures of NYC sights. Thanks!

Lifelong outer-borough #NYC resident. 10 years demanding better ways to not drive.

Transportation has always been my Thing. Expect posts and calls-to-action about NYC buses, subways, modernizing regional rail, #bikeNYC, dangerous streets, and undoing car supremacy.

All from the perspective of someone who grew up in Queens low-income, no degree, no job title.

I also ❤️ Nintendo and kart-racing games, J-pop, desktop Linux, pink sunsets, and milk chocolate. 😁

I am a writer, a Stoic, and a New Yorker.

I like coffee, cats, and open web technologies.

I co-administrate https://Masto.NYC, and I’m the president of Five Borough Fedi Project (5BFP), the nonprofit that owns it. My posts are my own, and don’t necessarily reflect the opinions of 5BFP.

No kings.
