I really like using emoticons instead of emojis, but discovering new ones and using them on mobile was really hard, so I made a website to do that!

I know other sites exist, but I prefer a simpler UI.

Been thinking a lot about what makes code feel good, not clever or fancy, just solid, readable, and kind to work with. Wrote up some thoughts:

It’s not a checklist or dogma, just the principles I try to hold onto when writing or reviewing.

I swear, every Reptile store I see is next to a Liquor store.

Does being drunk make buying a lizard sound like a good idea, or does having a lizard make people want to drink?

Salt-N-Pepa, Yung Gravy, Ice-T, and Rittz should drop a collab and call it Picnic Time

Having gone to so many conventions, the ones I feel most safe at are Fur cons and Adult Only cons.

They’re the only conventions I’ve seen with a consistent focus on consent and respect.

I’m getting tech people following me here and I feel like none of them realize that I’m also a polyamorous furry and boy howdy, are they in for a ride.

I’m beyond exhausted of seeing how trans people are viewed by conservatives.

Hearing one of the arguments in today’s Supreme Court briefing compare youth trans health care to lobotomies for children was horrifying.

We deserve freedom and love, not hate and fear-mongering.

I can’t capture the value of Rust in one post, but I think my favorite aspect isn’t the Borrow Checker or the Type System, but how it all comes together to Correctness.

I always have more confidence in my Rust code compared to other languages, even when the tooling and tests are equivalent.
