@danirabbit @rooster Believe it or not: you did a brave thing. After coming out, transitioning, and surviving holidays with difficult relatives, who'd have thunk? 💓

Keep being brave!

Hi!! Happy !!

I’m Nicole (she/her). I manage mobile engineering for the Pocket products at Mozilla. My previous incarnations were as an iOS developer, an attorney, a CGI enthusiast, and an aspiring horror makeup artist (I never wanted to be an astronaut).

I originally hail from , , but reside in the these days.

I think it’s really interesting that my oldest, dearest childhood friend is also . Coming out to each other was super special.

Hey friends - I am in Antarctica with extremely slow and limited internet and I have a book coming out this year that I'd normally be posting more about because pre-orders are *critical* to a book's success.

Help me get the word out?

OUT THERE: THE SCIENCE BEHIND SCI-FI FILM AND TV

From black holes to space elevators and extraterrestrial civilizations, this is a rich and beautifully illustrated book for your coffee table. And astronaut Mae Jemison wrote the Foreword!

Promo Codes for Rube Works: The Official Rube Goldberg Invention Game

We published this game in 2013 using Unity 4.6. Apple updated MacOS and the game no longer worked. We have a new version that works on recent MacOS versions, but doesn't work on older versions/Macs.

I could use some help finding out exactly which versions of Macs and MacOS's are compatible. Any takers? DM me with your Mac info, and I can send you a promo code.

Just need to know if it runs. apps.apple.com/us/app/rube-wor

@bumpus @danirabbit I think we can throw a ⭐ in too, just because it's a selfie + wisdom post.

@piratescarlett On it. 💪 Just a few more things preceding on the list.

@piratescarlett Another streaming service. 😂 Oh gods, they feel by Pokemon: gotta catch 'em all.

In 2023, don't tell me that your tech is doing good.

Show me a team that reflects society.
Show me a team with women.
Show me a team that is safe for trans people.
Show me Indigenous inclusion.
Show me a team that welcomes and RETAINS Black people.
Show me management that accommodates disability without intrusive questions and a legal fight.
Show me neurodiversity.

Show me management that doesn't use people like emotional support animals. Show me fewer meetings, with agendas & notes.

@piratescarlett I'm convinced enough to order the Blu-ray of the first two—unless you recommend another way of screening them?

I'm not legally a girl yet, so... I'm currently illegally a girl!

I am cyberpunk as fuck :blobcat_uwu:

@SoftTransMom Nope. My tolerance for genuine scares is super inconsistent, but this looks well on the other side of my enjoyment threshold. 🫣

Project A-Ko 1986 ‘プロジェクトA子’
Directed by Katsuhiko Nishijima

If you miss the #80s then here you go! Earth. The not too distant future. A city is miraculously reborn just sixteen years after being completely destroyed by a giant meteor. A love triangle of three school girls, confrontations with Aliens, Giant Robots and complete destruction ... #Anime #Animation #Japanuary #Japan #Cinema #Nowwatching #Nw #Asiancinema

@a0dbxza Oh, gods, a total embarrassing tween fave of mine. I even own an animation cel.

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.
