Who is Michael Bradley

I am many things (see the links below). More officially: I am a mathematician đź§™. Less officially: I am a programmer đź’», a secular humanist đź«‚, an essayist đź–Šď¸Ź, a furry đź¦ť, and perhaps an artist âś’️ đźŽ¨ too.

Here is some common information that you’ll probably see in multiple places on the Internet:

  • The website you are currently on, Disjoint Union âŠ”, is my personal (and official) creative depository. To explain the domain, “Brooks” is the name of my grandfather.
  • I live in the America/Los_Angeles đź•– time zone.
  • My web handle is typically TheDocTrier đźŹ·ď¸Ź (post 2020, pronounced try-er), however you may also see my decommissioned handle Tankobot (pre 2020).
  • My current profile picture đź–Ľď¸Ź is the first 256 rows of Pascal’s triangle mod 6.

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.

Here are a bunch of links to my primary accounts across many services (ordered alphabetically). Note that I barely access most of these accounts. If you want to contact me, I currently recommend my Twitter or my TelegramNOT SECURE, where it’s easiest for me to respond quickly. You can also try sending an email to michael@brooksb.dev, but spam may prevent me from seeing it. 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.
