Trying out a new pen, uniball signo 0.5mm, so far loving it. It is refillable, but my record at not breaking plastic pens isn’t great so we shall see…

Back to work after back-to-back vacation in Italy and then SIGGRAPH. Excited to revive a longstanding research idea I had that could bear fruit in product, but also hopeful the break will mean I can crack some problems in fluids I was stuck on just before.

On this Trans Day of Visibility, a reminder that if you want to be a woman, you can just be a woman
You don’t need to have known for a long time, you can be unsure even now, you can worry you don’t deserve it or that it’s “too late”
Girl, none of that matters

Today’s look, a struggle in the face of the new reality south of the border and the same anti-trans fascist rhetoric growing louder in Canada too
