 Black Lives Matter ✊🏽 Trans Rights Are Human Rights ⛺ Houseless Neighbors Deserve Dignity


  


  
Holy 🦎s and 🦄s, it's Ivan Boothe

  

    

      US-Pacific ☙ Multnomah, Tsinook & Cowlitz lands ☙ Portland, OR

  

  

    I'm into frontend engineering (especially back-of-the-frontend), creative

      social protest and radical nonviolent praxis. These things go together more

      than you think.

## I'm currently learning

Go (having somewhat learned Go templating via Hugo), back-end Nodejs, Drupal 10.

## Coding is just a small part of who I am

Technology is a means to an end, and shiny tech is not always the best means.

I've worked as a

[human rights advocate](https://web.archive.org/web/20080131080116/http://www.genocideintervention.net/),

a

[community organizer](https://web.archive.org/web/20111226083543/http://www.casinofreephilly.org:80/),

and a [nonprofit communications manager](https://forusa.org/). I've been on the

board of a [justice studies association](https://www.peacejusticestudies.org/),

helped

[nominate people for the Nobel Peace Prize](https://www.afsc.org/content/afsc-and-nobel-peace-prize),

wrote about

[third-party nonviolent intervention](https://works.swarthmore.edu/fac-soc-anth/29/)

and used

[electronic civil disobedience to fight insecure voting systems](https://web.archive.org/web/20050204141450/https://www.why-war.com/features/2003/11/diebold_analyzed.html).

Really all my technological expertise and interest stems from those larger

objectives for social change.

I'm also active in 🚲 [re-thinking urban spaces](https://www.streetsblog.org/),

🥕 [local food cooperatives](https://www.peoples.coop/), and 🔔

[semi-professional handbell performance](https://www.bellsofthecascades.org/about).

Leaderboards are harmful to open-source development and sustainable communities

generally (read Cory Doctorow's

[_Walkaway_](https://www.worldcat.org/title/walkaway-a-novel/oclc/1159178249&referer=brief_results))

but insofar as some folks feel they need impersonal metrics of comparison, here

are mine:
