Let’s be real. One midterm election is not the end-all fix for America.

But you don’t skip groceries because one trip won’t feed you forever. You handle what’s in front of you.

Every election moves the needle a little. Enough little moves and you’re on a whole different road. That’s the point. Not perfection, direction.

And pay attention to how hard some folks work to keep that needle still. Maps get redrawn. Rules change last minute. Names fall off the rolls. You don’t fight that hard over something that doesn’t matter.

Our grandparents stood in lines that were dangerous to stand in. We can stand in one that’s just inconvenient. Better yet, we can skip the line and go early.

Last month, we had the opportunity to visit Webdroid and activate the space with an intimate group of young people.

Webdroid is Detroit's only LAN center, and it brings gaming, coding, and tech education together under one roof. Our young people sat down at the stations, gamed with their friends in person, and walked the Motherboard Mural, a wall honoring Black pioneers in technology like Dr. Marian Croak and David Steward. Josh even made room for us on that wall.

Joshua Ashford was in the room at the very first Black Tech Saturday. Seeing Webdroid open its doors in Detroit means the world to us.

If you haven't already, tap in. Whether you're a gamer, or you've got young people and you're looking for ways to help them explore tech, check out Webdroid's classes and workshops. Go see it for yourself.

Real honor meeting @boskokante during Oakland Tech Week. 🐐

From helping create sounds on @electrospit that became part of records like J. Cole’s “Work Out” to continuing to push the intersection of music, tech and innovation—this man has quietly left fingerprints all over the culture.

Even more respect knowing he’s not just presenting at Oakland Tech Week, but helping support the community behind it! 🙏

Much respect, Bosco. Thanks for the conversation, the knowledge, and for continuing to innovate.

Oakland recognizes greatness ✊🎶💻#oaklandtechweek
