You probably know me from a space language.
This is my account for pure nerdy escapism. Talk with me about books, language, musician life, cooking. Formerly physics/CS, soon back to school for linguistics!
they/them Steerswoman (🤷)

Oh NO. I didn’t think these could possibly get worse, but the design from the side is just plain mean.
There’s no attempt to look uniform on the diversity of body types, and the mess of tents/awnings/tarps REALLY draws the eye… oddly.
Now I just feel bad, wearing this would make me feel terrible.

Wearing flimsy white lace-trimmed camisoles pulled way down over the hips under every single shirt was very much What The Cool Modest Girls of Utah did in the 2000s, so I can’t say they’re failing at brand recognition here.
But THOSE HEMS. And the (almost?) matching skirts! Most cursed layer cakes.

This is possibly the pettiest rant in the world, but I am UTTERLY TRANSFIXED by the hideousness of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir concert outfits in the NYT article today and I need to yell about it. Qualifications: I sew and have sung in a lot of choirs.
Look at this. What?? is happening? here??

This sort of clickbait writing is embarrassing. Your only source is a Reddit thread that you don’t seem to have checked for updates, even the day you published.
Also, you really need a copy editor.

January @thestorygraph.com wrap-up. I love the cheery colors and the calendar format, this app is the best.
This is the first time I’ve ever logged my reading for a month: One small step toward my life goal of becoming @nwhyte.bsky.social. :P

Eight (!!) years ago right now, I was at my local Alamo Drafthouse, waiting for #TheExpanse Season 2 premiere – my very first fannish gathering! – to start.
I was unbelievably excited, but unbearably conspicuous with my rush job Ceres dockworker outfit and fistful of “Remember the Cant” leaflets.

@skektek.bsky.social Hey, this one of yours, right? I’m trying to find the original artist for someone who 3D printed a coaster from it.

Update: It was the big cat.
Old photos for size comparison. They’re littermates, but he’s literally twice her mass. (And half her intelligence, but he’s a heart-melting himbo.)

The battle! My neighbors started getting really angry about them, so I finally started making my seeds Very Spicy. Worked, and the birds seem to love the addition, but sometimes I kinda miss the little weirdos and their Mission Impossible stunts.

I knew he loves fleecy fabric and being snuggled up tightly (I have never met a cat that wants to be squashed the way he does), but I didn’t expect him to get cozy in his hood quite as much as he did. Most of the photos are of him snoozing. Maybe he was napping on Avasarala’s behalf.

Everything is built on a tear-away collar or in pieces that pull apart with velcro. Except for the base sweatshirt, everything was made from random leftover material and broken jewelry bits I had around my apartment. I especially had fun with the sash and all the illusions of layers.
