I like coffee, Philly, Pittsburgh, Arabic language, anything on two wheels, music, linux, theology, cats, computers, pacifism, art, unity, equity, etymology, the power of words, and getting high off airplane glue. Will use Adobe Illustrator for food.

ΩΨͺΨ΄ Ψ£ΩΩΨ―Ω)Hey guess what, my website overhaul is done! My first full portfolio in 15 years!
It took a lot of work but I am extremely proud of it. It's inspired by the thing that got me started in computers, MacOS 9.

ΩΨͺΨ΄ Ψ£ΩΩΨ―Ω)Hi! ππ»
My name is Mitch (he/him), and I am an illustrator, graphic designer, creative director, brand director, and goober. I am currently on sabbatical from work, but I work in the tech industry, specializing in making clear, authentic brand stuff for things associated with programmers and sysadmins.
I am a practicing BahΓ‘'Γ, and am very interested in conversation around things like comparative religion, pacifism, Linux, FOSS, where you're from, and what life is like there.

ΩΨͺΨ΄ Ψ£ΩΩΨ―Ω)once more, i would like to gently remind my many, beloved Canadian friends that what happened here can absolutely still happen to you there.
the sickness is racial supremacy, it has nothing to do with which flavor of colonialism you feel is gentlest. π€·
this basket ride to hell does not end until we shed the skin of racial supremacy.

ΩΨͺΨ΄ Ψ£ΩΩΨ―Ω)huh. i was just reading a book of Jeremy Bentham's, and a lot of the utilitarian ideas sound pretty similar to BahΓ‘'u'llΓ‘h's teachings.

ΩΨͺΨ΄ Ψ£ΩΩΨ―Ω)today of all days seems like a good day to post my personal favorite self-hosted github alternative, Gogs: https://gogs.io/
I have very modest git needs (I just need to host code, I donβt need stuff like actions or CI/CL), and this really fits like a glove for me. It is what I use to run https://git.donaberger.xyz/
#github
Mitch Effendi (Ω
ΩΨͺΨ΄ Ψ£ΩΩΨ―Ω)this github merger honestly sucks. i donβt care about github OR microsoft, what sucks is that github has basically been free hosting for developers for decades at this point. so, so many projects not only depend on github for current ops, but also, for old ones! i canβt tell you how often i get electronics that tell me in their printed instructions to go to a github link.

ΩΨͺΨ΄ Ψ£ΩΩΨ―Ω)thinking about this song a lot today β "The End of Love" by Clem Snide, off their album "End of Love" (2005). Just a sweet little song about how, when love disappears from the surface of the Earth, none of us will survive.
