for those who don't know yet, my finacée and us are in the long arduous process of getting married as a couple separated by the atlantic ocean. we've posted an update to our fundraiser that's allowing us to make that happen: https://www.gofundme.com/f/get-taylor-and-millie-together

i wrote a bit about my inspiration for making #webgbcam and the importance it's had for me and others on hackaday: https://hackaday.com/2020/10/26/the-game-boy-camera-or-how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-the-pixels/

warms my heart a lil bit every time i see someone with an avatar that was recognisably taken with #webgbcam

my metric of "made it" is that when i first made #webgbcam, googling "webgbcam" would prompt "Did you mean: Webcam". it no longer does that

in an earnest tone like Alexey Pajitnov says "Play Tetris!", use webgbcam!

If you, as a cis person, want to know what growing up as a trans woman in this society is like, one manifestation of the trauma is in becoming a fully grown human and still, in many cases, having the nagging belief that everyone sees you as a predator, maybe even other trans people, despite all of the kindness and grace you have done your very best to practice.

And yes, all of these recent state laws will hurt another generation that way.

for how much minidisc is constantly labeled a "failure" that "never took off", i think 21 years is a pretty good production run for a media format

another pixel portrait going out to Cass of @BadGameHOF@twitter.com / https://www.badgamehalloffame.com/ ! i couldn't decide on a background, so this one gets two variants!

you can get portraits like these and more if you just head on down to https://maple.pet/commissions !
