Hi, new people, I'm Emma. I'm a queer, trans non-binary woman (she/they,) amateur astronomer, and wife of @cynthia1960.
I get paid to help people make web browsers, and have cats, a lot of tiny computers, and I like cooking, hockey, indie pop, shoegaze, and post punk.
I'm helping make the all-online version of #wiscon happen this year too.
The photo is Json, the youngest of our cats. They are extra, but I love them.

Imagine Miami Vice, but instead of a cigarette boat skipping across blue waters with hotels in the background, its the Hagia Sophia.
This is soundtrack music for re-imagining the 80's.

It's Bandcamp Friday again, and another chance to remind you that http://blackbandcamp.info is a listing of black artists and labels on Bandcamp, searchable by genre (if you're looking for something specific) or location (if you're looking to buy local)
Spotify playlists are the new Facebook newsfeed, how do we get people to stop using them

I used one of the limes on the tree on our porch, and also added roasted, unsalted peanuts.
It's good.

My #zine order from Germany came! I don’t usually read music zines, but this one is queer/feminist and looked really cool. https://vinyldyke.net/zine/
It's Bandcamp Friday.
I'm here to boost your bands, esp. BIPOC and Queer artists.

Tonight is yellow curry with sweet potatoes, russet potatoes, and carrots.
I'll add a splash of fish sauce and some limes when the vegetables are tender.

These slides from my mid-career survival talk are inspired by my time at Google. My experiences there are not unique (to me, to google, or to corporate DE&I work, really).

Engagement rings are supposed to cost 100 months salary and if you don't buy one it's doomed and not true love, sorry I don't make the rules. —De Beers, making the rules
Going to preemptively block some idiots on fedi tonight before they appear on a live stream with JK Rowling and Joe Rogan raising money for TERFs.

The Process:
-see thing u want
-"holy shit that's expensive i'll just learn how 2 make it myself"
-learn how to make it urself
-"ah, i see now why ppl charge huge amounts of money for this. it's difficult and im bad at it"
-buy one anyway
-still be satisfied with the experience overall bc learning a new skill is not only a fun and fulfilling activity in and of itself, but also helps u grow in other areas And gives u a new understanding and love of the thing u have acquired
Seriously, bro, take that shit back to HELLSITE and the Jacobin editorial office.
