A meme showing a shiba dog pushing two dog toys together as if to make them kiss or interact. The dog playing with the toys is labeled "me" and the two dog toys are labeled "initContainers[0]" and "containers[0]". The meme represents a software engineer attempting to make a sidecar container and main container in a kubernetes pod interact with each other.

Jane is standing the entryway of her home, taking a selfie of herself in her new Hazbin Hotel cardigan. She is sporting light makeup with some magenta multichrome eyeliner under the eyes with black mascara both above and below. Her long brown hair, shifting into a faded purple, green, and blonde at the ends, is parted to her left, and pulled around to hang before her on her right side. A tiny portion of a Hazbin Hotel key earring is seen dangling below her left ear, and the sweater has a matching key attached to the zipper. Over the left breast, the sweater has HAZBIN HOTEL embroidered, above an inverted pentagram. The sweater has a deep v-neck and a little cleavage is visible.

The right sleeve of Jane's new Hazbin Hotel cardigan has four patches with imagery of one of the show's characters on each: Charlie, Vaggie, KeeKee, and Angel Dust. Jane's hair can be seen hanging down in front of the sweater.

The left sleeve of Jane's new Hazbin Hotel cardigan has four patches with imagery of one of the show's characters on each: Husk, Alastor, Niffty, and Sir Pentious. Jane's hair can be seen hanging down in front of the sweater, and the bottom of the HAZBIN HOTEL and inverted pentagram embroidery is visible on the front left of the sweater.

I don't normally cave for merch but I have a weak spot for Hellaverse stuff. This has cute lil patches of the characters up both arms, and the back has a large pattern of the iconic Hazbin Hotel key (photo not included).

And for recording an audible version that I could listen to on my way to/from electrolysis appointments.

As someone just a few years into their transition, trying to navigate being openly trans in 2025, this book really hit the spot. So grateful to @tillybridges.bsky.social for putting in the research and publishing it, and sharing so much of herself in this work.

I found this book -- and through it, the Matrix movies -- to be incredibly powerful, and despite touching on some of the most difficult aspects of living life authentically as a trans person, I found the ideas and perspectives that were shared to be a source of inspiration and strength.

It was eye opening to see that while the players have changed, and the field has changed, the game is the same, the motivations are the same, and our challenges, strengths, and weaknesses are the same.

Tilly does such a great job of breaking down how the Wachowski sisters effectively explained, decades ago, timeless challenges and cis nonsense faced by trans folks that I'm just coming to terms with over the past few years as I go through my own transition.

I was floored at how much detail was in these movies that I had either dismissed or otherwise failed to connect with the overarching trans allegory being told across the entire series. I'll never see those movies the same way again.

I just finished listening to the audio version of Begin Transmission: The Trans Allegories of The Matrix, written and narrated by @tillybridges.bsky.social.

I totally bought a toy just so I could write queer code for it.

ProffieOS allows me program my own styles and then apply them in my preset blade config.

A selfie with me to the left of center, standing on Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood, with a sign in the background above the street reading "WEHO PRIDE" in large letter, and in smaller letters below, "street fair," "outloud entrance," "ferris wheel," "WeHo Pride photo op," "rainbow stage," and "KTLA parade broadcast." My long brown hair is parted slightly to my left and is all pulled around to my right side. I'm wearing a Svaha dress with their pride flags pattern. One strap of my backpack is visible on my left shoulder, while the other is hidden behind my hair.

Happy Pride! 🌈

A photo of the wall of the hallway between F gates and G gates at San Francisco International Airport, on which is imagery of two small tropical birds, perhaps parrots, one watching while the other, holding a paint brush, appears to be painting a large outline of a head profile of the same type of bird. The shadow of this photographer, in her backpack, holding her phone up as a camera, is cast clearly across the large outline of the bird profile. Evenly spaced shadows of the vertical dividers between each window are also visible.

When the sun is setting and barely over the horizon outside the windows of the hallway between the F gates and G gates at #SFO, the wall opposite the windows gets crisp, life size shadows.

the shift from “I never thought leopards would eat MY face” to “eat my face harder leopard daddy” must be studied

Selfie of me wearing a low cut black dress and borrowed cat ear hair clips because I don't own my own.

On Caturday I was out at a kitty-themed cabaret, trying to blend in.

Selfie in front of a closed white door, wearing a bright pink fleece with Columbia branding above my left breast and a black T-shirt underneath. My hair is parted just slightly to my left, and pulled around to all hang down in front of me on my right. It is brown, fading into something like a blueish green and ends a couple inches below my right breast. I'm wearing light makeup and offering a modest, closed mouth smile while making eye contact with the camera. The dumpster fire earring in my left ear is hardly visible.

Hello little queer people in my phone.

It was never fun pulling up an example of work I'd done in the past only to accidentally throw my deadname at yet another teammate who didn't already know it. Good riddance to that!

I think the most exciting thing about this transition may be no longer having to deal with my deadname scattered through years of commit history in dozens of repos across multiple GitHub orgs.

Today was my last day working for a company I've been with for nearly eight years. It's been emotionally draining, wrapping up the last of my meetings, making my farewells to engineers I've loved working with, and shutting down my work laptop for the final time.

The gender and sexuality affirming bisexual transfem experience of trying to move a 250lb box of new exercise equipment from the garage to the living room, with the wife, and wishing there was more testosterone in the house.

The scariest thing about bsky to me is getting used to the idea of everything being public. After using platforms that let me make private posts, the fediverse felt like a less extreme transition, with its follow requests and followers-only posts.
