@jonathankoren This bubble just gets more and more terrifying as time rolls on.

Some dolls and I dragged dear @pauline to a Tate McRae concert. The seats ended up being amazing, but I think she would have preferred Big Thief and a gin flight. ☺️

My sister is in town!

I am a large person. My sister is a pipsqueak. She makes for good cover (and hijinks!) when we’re out on the town.

The median point between separation anxiety and fear of baths.

@h5e not much difference between a toy camera and any 19th century camera! ☺️

@h5e lovely photos, hun! The third one, in particular, reminds me of Heinrich Kühn, one of the all time greats. (howardgreenberg.com/exhibition)

@cederbs i am having mad Hokkaido flashbacks watching the trailer for this.

Welp, just got laid off this morning. Anybody hiring remote DevOps/infrastructure engineers?

Got dragged to an escape room by @pauline and her queers. We escaped, but only because of some accidental sequence breaking at the very end.

There is so much GamerGate energy in American politics and culture today. I’d never have guessed that was going to be the blueprint for what living in America would be like in 2025.

@h5e I was also thrown by this: looks cute, but apparently very sharp and can induce crying.

In my experience, men generally, do not have the toolkit to process meaningful deviation from a norm. They’re the cultural/social equivalent of the picky eater: grilled cheese and coca cola for every meal.

As the girls say, “they simply haven’t done the work.”

I went to a wedding in Chicago!

How did the midwestern football set handle the west coast Doll?

Mostly avoidance! A lot of fleeting eye contact. Zero acknowledgement of the change except for one guy who declared himself “too busy” to bother with my pronouns. 🤣

I’m not upset: this was done for science. (But I am amused)

Just finished Cassandra Khaw’s The Library at Hellebore. Hyper-violent dark academia lovingly complicated by its non-linear unspooling. It’s a bit of a mess (See Also, Every Character Depicted Therein), but I loved the heck out of it.

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
