I know I’m a bit biased, since @graydesign.bsky.social is an author, but I’m legitimately excited to read this. I’m talking myself out of bringing it to DIS with me, but I’m going to try to tackle this before EduCHI. studioproperties.org #studioProperties #studioPedagogy #prettyBooks

Don’t tell the republicans, but I used part of my sick day to turn this Totally Straight* SuperDry tank top into a SuperGay one.

I did end up getting some new glasses from Jins after learning from @mayworms.info that they could make them in 30 minutes. These ones are dragon ball themed!!! “Supreme Kai” is a bit on the nose for glasses I got at CHI #chi2025 but it was not intentional lol us.jins.com/products/jin...
