I am so thrilled right now. One of the SkyKnit test-knitters sent me a dishcloth she knitted from a neural network generated pattern called "diamond diamonds". It is amazing to hold an artifact like this in my own hands. Up close I can see all the weird organic asymmetries that the SkyKnit folks say are so mind bending.
Thank you so much, SylviaTX!

so some undergrad just approached me with a survey on smartphone behaviors. from the demographic info at the end:
q: and are you male or female?
a: [smiles] good question
q: fair enough, would you like to pick one?
a: [grins] i definitely would not
q: ok, the next question is: would you consider yourself "extremely feminine," "average feminine," "gender neutral," "average masculine," or "extremely masculine"?
a: [right away] average feminine

today I learned that HSPICE ("the 'gold standard' for accurate circuit simulation," which I use every day) was developed by Ashawna Hailey, who was trans, and her twin brother Kim. they went on to deliver the first 8080 clone for AMD.

I'm often so-so about proclaming myself as trans; that word in combination with my queer+masc presentation can sorta give the wrong idea about my story. Today, though, I'm here to remind folks that trans includes many different paths and approaches, and they're all valid. #TransDayOfVisibility

I'm a leftist trans gay fox girl. More than one thing can be true at a time. I believe in agency, subjectivity, and beauty.
In my day job, I'm an apprentice electrician.
