RIP Lynn Conway, a trans pioneer who made major contributions to computing, noted in this article from last year:
"She had already been forced to restart her career from scratch with a new identity in 1969, after being fired by IBM for telling her bosses she was transitioning. The rupture meant she could not claim credit for techniques she had invented there, even as they became standard practice across the industry.
And so, over the past two decades, Conway has been investigating – and attempting to reverse – what she describes as her "disappearance" from history, chronicling her experiences both as a computing and a gender trailblazer.
Slowly, that recognition is coming to pass. In 2009, she received an award from the engineering trade group, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers(IEEE). In 2020, IBM finally apologised for firing her 42 years earlier.
And this October she was inducted into the National Inventors’ Hall of Fame as the co-creator of VLSI – 14 years after Mead received the same honour."

I'm selling my donkey fursuit! It's cute, clean and I've only worn it a handful of times.

There's something special about old TV shows, and you think "What a time" looking back into that era of what things were like back then. I wish you could have that era back.
Growing up in the UK I would remember watching this show on TV whenever I had days off school, on on days where I was really sick.

So far I’ve made 12 Amiga related costumes. I made the first one, Giana, 10 years ago already. Currently I’m focusing exclusively on Amiga/retro game cosplays and have plans to make several new ones as soon as life gets a little less busy.

I did this as a wholesome sappy post elsewhere about how validating seeing art of myself by others with my fangs is validating.
It's more validating for others to follow instructions given by this image
@DarkOverord Same here with mine 🖤

The idea of "rugged individualism" is so absurd when your food is grown by someone else, your home was built by someone else, your roads were paved by someone else, your electricity is generated by someone else, your illnesses and injuries are healed by someone else, and virtually everything you know was taught to you by someone else.
We depend on other people. That's an enormous strength, not a weakness.

"The Star Fox-style roguelite whose dev refused to use AI voices to cut costs is adding an entire 'anti-capitalist revenge' campaign about a cat-girl destroying AI" is a headline that makes me happy in many ways. https://www.gamesradar.com/games/roguelike/the-star-fox-style-roguelite-whose-dev-refused-to-use-ai-voices-to-cut-costs-is-adding-an-entire-anti-capitalist-revenge-campaign-about-a-cat-girl-destroying-ai/
