New dress, felt cute, had a nice day.

They forgot so quickly.

Despite the pictures, I am sitting here massively disappointed at the moment. We were supposed to be well into our 3.month tour of the country, but our truck broke down an hour from home. We have made good memories while we have been waiting to get the truck looked at. Saw an elk and some eagles.

I have read the Bible, I have never understood these views. The Bible describes the creation of life on this planet. No where does it say it is the only life, and would in fact suggest otherwise given discussions of angles and other life we clearly don't have here.

For the most part I think AI is stupid a huge waste of people's time, a negative impact to our environment, leads to brain rot among skilled programmers and fails to allow early career engineers to learn the fundamentals of their job. With that in mind...

Good morning 🌞. Hope you have a wonderful day.

I have been on a work trip this last week. It has impacted me in unexpected ways. My first day in the office was TDOV and I was nearly struck dump by the nearly dozen pride flags and 4 trans flags (that are always up) adorning the office area. I have never seen that before. 1/2

Trans on a plane. Much too early to be up and moving this time of day.

Literally no one says *anything*. It’s really hard to take, like we are being shredded piece by piece and nobody cares.

I think this, "I shoved my finger in an electrical ⚡ socket", look sums up my week quiet well. It's been crazy and I don't think I have a single thing to show for it. It gets better eventually right? Right???

Way back before I came out I had a shadow of my male self lamenting having to hide. Yesterday, I turned around and caught a glimpse of my shadow, this time overjoyed to see myself.

When I had made this strip, it had been a few weeks of chaos in the wake of the so-called inauguration. In the single year since, that chaos has continued with new insanity, hatred, destruction, and corruption pretty much every single day. I hate that this feels more relevant than ever. Ugh

So, to draw on a topic @lampjaded.bsky.social started. I have a question. I was the lead engineer for a program for almost 20 years. The program was retired before I came out and my dead name is on virtually every design document. Now that program is being resurrected and I am being asked to

The replacement AF1 hits hard

One of those days. Life sucks 😞.

Has anyone heard of the Advent of Code challenge (adventofcode.com)? Anyone trying it this year? I started a couple of times in the past, but the holiday season is so hectic I get overwhelmed by the end of the first week. They are only doing 12 days this year, so I am hoping to push through.

It never ceases to maze me how somehow men assume we women don't have a brain. I was mansplained to at length this afternoon. The gentleman informed me I didn't have basic knowledge about a subject I happen to be very familiar. 🤷‍♀️. That I need to talk to an expert. Life is always an adventure.

So Orange Man Baby says he is paying for his 250 million dollar ballroom by himself and through donations. On the same day he starts demolition, he demands the DOJ pay him 230 million dollars. Anyone want to bet his private donations add up to 20 million?

working on the tiniest history of big/little endian today

Hi, one gripe I have had about socials is that you can only have friends. In real life I have many more relational types than just friend. Can we get an acquaintance category? People/subjects I find interesting but don't necessarily need to see every post. Just a thought 🤔.

That's me, science, reader... Oh, and a T. Public enemy #1

I am still here, smiling even, in spite of the constant looming fear of doom. I have been operating in a fog, I can barely concentrate on what I need to do. I haven't felt this much anxiety about life since I put things in motion to come out of the closet.

A weekend to myself. Mostly just relaxing, looked for some new fits, and working on a project. I got the slacks and green top 😁

Dessert mode ACTIVATE: Best pie: Silk carmel pecan Best ice cream: Graham central station from Handel's Ice Cream Best donut: Maple donut Best bar: Reese's (does that count as a bar?) Best Cake: Salted caramel butterscotch Best other: Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, Profiterole w/ hazel nut cream

The age of enshittenment.

And dinner is served. I wish we could find better tomatoes in our area so we could have red sauce instead of orange, but it was awesome. It's all gone. 😋💕

Almost there! Sauces ready. Smells and tastes wonderful. Pasta rolled out and waiting on the water to boil.

Making fresh spaghetti sauce and pasta for dinner. Pasta dough is chillin in the refrigerator. Tomatoes, onion, garlic, and cheese rind in the pot and starting to smell good. Basil will go in, in a bit when puree the tomatoes. 😋.

What movie have you seen an unhealthy number of times?

Picture from yesterday, I had to go get poked by the vampires for lab work 😞. This morning I am just watching the couple of little clouds in the sky float by and praying they turn into some rain 🌧️. I miss rain. First weekend off in I don't know how long and I don't know what to do with myself.

This morning's creation. A Tanzanian spice cake with, chia buttercream frosting, and dark chocolate chips sprinkled on top. I usually do a brown butter frosting with this cake but decided to try something new.

A guy at work was arguing that the latest LLM models can write code they weren’t trained on and gave writing code in brainfuck as an example. I said “did you actually run these in an interpreter to confirm they aren’t bullshitting you” A few minutes later he goes, “none of them worked, interesting”

Seared in my mind forever.

Happy 🐪 day! #pride2025 #transgender

If you’re a closeted trans woman and you’re feeling all weird and fucked up and confused about everything just know that you are 100% allowed to feel this way and it doesn’t make you any less trans and everything you’re feeling is real and you’re going to be okay.

Good morning! A beautiful morning in the desert. Off to the daily grind. Hope you all have a wonderful day. #pride2025 #transgender

Trans people, quote post with a photo of yourself you love!

Good morning #pride2025 #transgender
