Photographic proof that @pauline dragged me into a trans bar and I didn’t run away (this time).

In #JapaneseFolklore tantan kororin are #yokai that are the spirits of persimmon trees. They appear when fruit is left on the tree unpicked. They take the form of giant monks with heads resembling persimmons. They wander through towns letting overripe persimmons fall out of their sleeves. When the fruit runs out, they return to their tree and disappear. While not dangerous, they are definitely creepy, so people tend to try and keep out of their way.

Yesterday's Enterprise (Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 3) was broadcasted for the first time 34 years ago today. Happy anniversary to the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-C!

Art by Rick Sternbach who, like Andrew Probert before him, has tried to imagine the missing link between the Enterprise B and D designs:

Boarded flight to Ōsaka. 👋 北海道! The young salary man in the seat next to me probably weighs half as much as I do, but splays himself like a crab twice his size. I’m pretty good at folding myself up, but buttoning the top of my blouse without invading his space was complicated origami.

My “favorite” part of every trip: mailing presents and laundry back to the States. 😂

Asahikawa was full of surprises. We had a wonderful yakiniku mutton meal at Chinngis Khan, after which we stumbled into drinks with a friendly hostess and high school teacher at Café Nan. From there a gay bar, Ciel, where had a round or two before a representative of the nearby trans bar came to collect us. We made it back to our hotel before 0500, and negotiated a 1400 check-out, which we barely managed.

Having reached the northern-most tip of Japan, we now turn around and begin our return. In a week, I’ll be back stateside.

Going to move myself back to this cozy little account which lives on a server hosted by my friend, @pauline. Big instances scare me.

I thought I was walking across a snow-covered beach, only to realize it was a sheet of frozen surf five feet thick.

Maybe that’s a metaphor; maybe it’s not.

After being with Mozilla for a little over 5 years, I've been laid off today, alongside a group of some of my favorite people. So, I'm on the job market! I've got ~8 years #iOS, #Swift, and #ObjC under my belt, working on everything from libraries all the way through full user-facing features. So, I'm #opentowork. Remote (US), working out of the Chicagoland area. 👀 LinkedIn in bio. Boosts would be much appreciated!

I was walking Chibi when I spotted this California Juniper growing through a fence, alongside a dangerous curve in the road right after a freeway exit. I returned maybe 10-12 times over the month before locking down the exact time of the day for the photograph. When it finally happened, I had to enlist my roommate to act as a traffic monitor; she flagged incoming freeway traffic and warned the drivers I was standing in the middle of the road.

If Picard had been just a bit cuter, he could've been HIGHcutus of Borg

Recovering from a BBL basically requires you to spend your off hours LARPing one those overcooked hot dogs you see on the metal rolling pins at a 7-11.

So I'm playing Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood and a pre-transition, not-quite-out-to-herself trans woman comes to you for help at one point, dysphoria hoodie and denial beard and all.

And gosh, do I feel awfully well-prepared for this.

(side note: the writing for her that I've seen *so far* is excellent. game has been great so far.)

Months back I got hyper fixated on photoshopping Keanu Reeves into those transit authority visualizations for light rail stations. I present you all with a few of my "Catch Keanu" edits

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.
