I used to try thinking for myself all the time, but then I found Cory Doctorow and David Graeber. Toss in some David Attenborough and Alan Kay, and that basically sums me up.
I listen to #nonfiction audio books instead of the news. I worry about my kids and the future of humanity. I try not to be rectilinear however possible. I speak kitteh, I crochet, write code, am one with the universe, bike through it, and opine in toots.
