OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I KNEW IT! I ABSOLUTELY KNEW IT THIS WHOLE TIME!!!!!!! I THEORIZED THIS FROM THE MOMENT THE FIRST SEASON CAME OUT AND I KNEW IT WAS TRUE!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! š±š±š±š±š±š±š±š±š±
āI always remember having this fight with a random dude who claimed that āstraight white menā were the only true innovators. His prime example for this was the computerā¦ the computerā¦ THE COMPUTER!!! THE COM-PU-TER!!!
Alan Turing - Gay man and āfather of computingā Wren operating Bombe - The code cracking computers of the 2nd world war were entirely run by women Katherine Johnson - African American NASA mathematician and āHuman computerā Ada Lovelace - arguably the 1st computer programmerā
- Sacha Coward
Also Margaret Hamilton - NASA computer scientist who put the first man on the moon - an as-yet-unmatched feet of software engineering, here pictured beside the full source of that computer programme. #myhero
Grace Hopper - the woman that coined the term ābugā Ā
- @robinlayfield
Grace Hopper did more than coin the term ābugā. She invented the first program linker in the early 1950s, for the UNIVAC I. A program linker translates instructions from one language to another (for example, numerical codes that represent instructions translated to machine code that computers can read), which is the very foundation of how computerās operate independently. she also pulled a steve rogers and tried to enlist in the military a bunch of times and was denied. then, an exception was made for her when she joined the navy reserves, and she ended up serving for over 40 years (half of which was active duty). she retired from the navy Rear Admiral Grace Hopper. she was born in NYC in 1906. Grace Hopper was a fucking badass.
also computing was typically a job for women (many of whom were black women that made incredible contributions) back in the day, so itās absolutely fucking wild that straight white men think they are the foundation of computer innovation. men PUSHED women out and took the credit.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Adding Wendy Carlos to the list! Trans icon and pioneer of synthesized music!!
Also, just about every computerized device outside of desktops is running ARM chips now. Your phone, your keyboard, your car, your watch. Basically everything.
And ARM was primarily designed by Sophie Wilson, a trans woman.
Please donāt forget Hedy Lamarr. Screwed over by the US government. She helped develop spread spectrum communication, which in part led to the development of WiFi and Bluetooth tech.
LED, LCD and CRT colour monitors are built upon the design of Guillermo GonzĆ”lez Camarena, Mexican inventor of the colour television. Without him, computers would still be black and white. Without colour screens, video games wouldnāt have become as popular as they are now, and movies with digital effects would be almost impossible, meaning computers as a whole wouldnāt have grown to be as powerful as they currently are, because a lot of money in modern computer research comes from the film and video game industries.

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE NEANDERTHAL CHILD WITH DOWN'S SYNDROME? Because they're all I've been thinking about when I'm sad for the past few days. Their existence makes me less sad.
Did you know that this is not a rarity? We have found remains showing catastrophic injuries - permanently disabling ones. With fully remodeled, healed bones.
It is NOT the default, it is NOT human nature to exclude disabled people from society. By nature we look after each other, by nature disability is just a natural part of the human variety that's made us so successful as a species.
By nature, people love.
Watching my toddler figure out how to language is fascinating. Yesterday we were stumped when he kept insisting there was a āLego winnerā behind his bookshelf - it turned out to be a little Lego trophy cup. Not knowing the word for ātrophyā, heād extrapolated a word for āthing you can winā. And then, just now, he held up his empty milk container and said, āMummy? Itās not rubbish. Itās allowed to be a bottle.ā - meaning, effectively, āI want this. Donāt throw it away.ā But to an adult ear, thereās something quite lovely about āitās allowed to be a bottle,ā as if weāre acknowledging that the object is entitled to keep its title even in the absence of the original function.
Another good post to read for those writing small human characters.Ā
My son was about three when he came to me in the middle of the day and said,Ā āMommy, thereās a knight behind the bush.ā I thought he meant a toy knight or something. So I follow him outside and he goes,Ā āListen. Do you hear it? Itās night behind the bush.ā It was a cricket. A cricket was standing in the little patch of shade under the bush, chirping. So, my son saw this dark area with accompanying nighttime sounds and decided, okay, well, that is a night right there. Their brains are incredible.
My little bean knows sheās two, constantly saying proudly āIām two!ā And the other day she saw this very frail old lady who looked one foot in the grave, pulled a face and said āoh shiiiit. Sheās three.ā I almost screamed.
I live in Korea and have a lot of international friends, and the same is true with language barriers in adults.Ā

Money need to stop spending me
I need people to understandā¦that if you believe in paying people a livable hourly wageā¦most hand-knitted clothing should cost hundreds of dollars
āMy grandma could make that!ā YOUR GRANDMA LOVES YOU ENOUGH TO SPEND A MONTH MAKING YOU A SWEATER FOR CHRISTMAS, I HAVE NO SUCH AFFECTION
Please also understand that most fibercrafters who are selling their work are already heavily underpricing it to what the market will bear. Here, let me show you my latest:
Itās a baby blanket, 32āx32ā (a little over 81x81cm).
I am giving this away to a coworker for free as a baby shower gift. If I were to sell it, it would be $150.
If I were to price it based on the time I spent on it, using a living wage for my area ($17.72/hr), it would be approximately $530.
This is why, when I put items up for sale, I always say tips arenāt expected but are appreciated. Itās very likely Iām selling you my time, skill, and 20 years of practice and experience for about $2/hr.
Please consider tipping your fibercrafters. Even if you can only tack on $20, it tells us you know we have to underprice because the economic web is such that we literally cannot price at true value. It says āI canāt afford it either, but I wish I could; I know what this is really worth.ā
(And if youāre interested in a large-scale commission, come talk to me in May. My two current ones should be done by then. Smaller stuff like slouch caps is welcome all the time.)
My cats have this meow that means "please come with me to fix this" after which they'll lead me to the problem in question, usually a empty (or 'empty') food bowl or a closed door they want open. They look at the 'problem', they look back at me, clear message.
What fascinates me is how this illustrates what they percieve as being in the realm of my 'power.' I control the food, I control the door, sure, but my cats love to sit on the balcony in the sun, and it has happened plenty of times that on a rainy day they come get me, go to the balcony and show me... the rain. "Please fix this" they say. "Please get rid of the wet"
"Silly kitty," I say, "I can't control the rain." I then walk into the shower and turn on the rain.

Thatās my girl.

So. Yeah, Neil Gaiman.
Itās true.
Pro Tip: Reply with āI was about to head out but what do you need?ā
If you want to BE home, just say that you were about to get some groceries, but you can do that later or another day, no worries, so of course you have time.
If you DONāT want to be home, you just say that youāre super sorry but, like you said, you were about to head out to an important appointment (doctorās appointment usually works well, and also can take quite long), so you donāt have time so sorry.
Alternatives for when you want to have fun:
"That's classified."
"The precise location of any object is changed if observed. Why, are you watching? ;) "
"Oh, the hell if I know. That guy does whatever, whenever."
"All earth, everyone who has ever lived, every thought, every work of art, all of it has happened on a blue mote of dust, floating in a sunbeam. There is no place in this world that is not home."
"No I just work here."
"Why, do I need an Alibi?"
When Ezra is back I want everyone to talk about some guy named Alex that Zeb is married to before he realized it's kallus

You could literally keep the genders and body types the same. Yall slobber over nonbinaries until they're the wrong kinda fat.
