The page which follows is my canonical profile. It briefly describes what I'm about and acts as a hub, linking to my other accounts across the Internet. Checkout my garden guide to explore beyond this page.
Who is Michael Bradley
More officially: I am a mathematician and a systems engineer. Less officially: I am a secular humanist, a furry, and perhaps an artist too.
Here is some common information about me that you'll probably see in multiple places on the Internet:
- The website you are currently on, The BrooksB Digital Garden, is my personal (and official) creative depository.
- I live in the America/Los_Angeles time zone.
- My full name is Michael Brooks Bradley, hence my email address
michael@brooksb.dev. - My web handle is typically
TheDocTrier(post 2020, a la trier of fact), however you may also see my decommissioned handleTankobot(pre 2020). - My current profile picture is the first 256 rows of Pascal's triangle mod 6.
- I chose it because, while clearly not the Sierpiński triangle, it still bears a peculiar similarity (the Sierpiński triangle can be gotten by using a modulus of 2 instead of 6).
- Indeed, Pascal's mod 6 is the intersection of Pascal's mod 2 (the Sierpiński) and Pascal's mod 3.
Advocacy
Generally speaking, I am a supporter of
- the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU),
- for supporting the rights of those with disabilities, people with HIV, immigrants, juveniles, people of all races, members of the LGBTQ community, the incarcerated, and women,
- and for protecting freedom of speech, human privacy, religious liberty, reproductive freedom, and voting rights,
- the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF),
- for defending freedom of speech and combating censorship,
- see the article Why Defend Freedom of Icky Speech by Neil Gaiman, writer of Coraline, American Gods, and Good Omens, who is also an avid supporter of the CBLDF,
- Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia,
- for providing the largest encyclopedia of free content managed through the open collaboration of volunteers,
- the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF),
- for promoting freedom of speech, human privacy, network neutrality, and procedural transparency,
- and for criticizing digital rights management (DRM) and government surveillance,
- and the Free Software Foundation (FSF),
- for supporting free software (see GNU/Linux) and neutral hardware,
- and for criticizing digital rights management (DRM) and software patents.
Links
Here are a bunch of links to my primary accounts across many services (ordered alphabetically).
Note that I barely access most of these accounts.
Critically, you should only assume I had control over an account if it is listed here explicitly.
However, this does not imply that I still control the account as security breaches are always a possibility.
If you want to contact me, I recommend sending me an email, michael@brooksb.dev.
If you want a more secure option, and we're already mutuals, then contact me via Signal.
The table given here is supposed to act as more of a reference for others (and myself).
Be warned, there may be mature materials behind any of the links given.
