Just wrapped up the first week of my honeymoon in Venice and Milan. Now headed to Barcelona for the next leg of our trip.

As an American visiting Europe for the first time, a lot of things surprised me!

But none more than just how insanely CLEAN the cities are.

Coming from San Francisco, it’s honestly impressive. Feels like people here respect public areas alot more.

Sadly the Hachyderm instance has been really unstable lately (for good reason, of course), But I want to build a work presence somewhere with a larger team behind it.

Are there any instances someone would suggest for a queer, open-source software advocate and tech worker?

Trying to setup my primary work mastodon, but Hachyderm seems to be working slow.

For anyone who’s curious tho, I’ve setup arjay@hachyderm.io which I aim to use more for work, while this account will be more personal.

I’m happy that my experiences with fundraising have been validated by people I trust.

Despite my company being miles ahead of others in our sector, my race and identify are a major factor to how I’m received by investors.

We’re going to succeed no matter what.

It just sucks to be at the mercy of a outright racist and problematic system. #startups #venturecapital

Scrolling through my local feed makes me so happy I picked a regional instance as my home.

It’s nice to see posts from people in the Bay Area specifically. That’s an experience I could never get with Twitter.

It feels like I’m *actually* browsing my local community!

Still love east bay but at this point in my life, the city is where I need to be.
