It is fascinating to try out different blending colorspaces for gradients. The results can be wildly different. So far in all my testing I prefer the look of CIE LCh(uv). It seems to avoid the muddy, grey middle but without introducing 'unexpected colors’ in the middle like something like HCL can produce.

@D6016 I love this so much. Making me want to commission stickers of my own werewolf likeness!

@hotdogsladies exquisite domain name. I’m excited to spend time with this.

My two personal aesthetic goals this year are

1) get better at makeup, particularly eyes and contouring.

2) get two tattoos.

I answered 8 questions about my trans werewolf horror story "They Say Don't Get Clocked" as part of a thesis study by Miranda Lascelles.

She asks werewolf fiction writers "what aspects of humanity does Lycanthropy symbolize" in media and their work. I had a lot to say!

positive in-person discussion with a potential transphobe 

The conversation began on the subject of diets and body-shaming. She is on the low FODMAP diet (same as my wife) for IBS and other GI issues and said she went from “chubby” to what she feels is sickly thin, and in both body types, people made hurtful comments that presumed to know how SHE felt about herself. She has had body image issues her whole life, and seemed very affected by my description of dysphoria as a pervasive discomfort.

positive in-person discussion with a potential transphobe 

Yesterday I attended the final parking lot BBQ of the season here in snowbird villa. I spent 35 minutes talking with a lady who said she’d never met a trans person before me, and who is clearly a republican. I told her what it was like for me, how I “knew”, what HRT does, and what it’s like living with dysphoria. She went from being polite with “you’re just pretending” vibes to “oh my god, that makes sense, I had no idea what it was like!”

*rips bong* the laws banning gender affirming care can be applied against men who buy the cybertruck

Tech conferences in 2024, probably:

“We held our con and in a state that bans women’s emergency health care and where being transgender in public is basically criminalized - but they have cheap margaritas and a nice pool there, and Snuffy the organizer likes to golf there.

On a completely unrelated note, you can’t call us out for having all straight white men speakers, because for some reason they’re just the only ones who apply to our CFP. We guess minorities just don’t really want to be in tech 🤷🏼‍♂️”
