normally when I edit my lecture videos I trim out the long pauses, but this one is for Comedic Effect so it gets to stay.

Sith Alchemy is a thing, so Sith DIY Science Zone should be canon too. #DIYSciZone #geekgirlcon
A Sith woman with golden eyes and purple facial scarring looks aristocratic next to a standup of Dr. Mae, a Black magical girl scientist in a lavender lab coat.

Doing some science and hunting some bugs! Crown made at the encouragement of some delightfully engaged students. #geekgirlcon
Me with curly brown hair, in a white t-shirt, blue cargo pants, and black ammo harness holding a NERF pulse rifle. My attitude conveys “don’t even try.” A smiling masked selfie, where a straw cyclohexane model serves as a crown.

See? We suffered a tiny bit but my gosh was it worth it.
A Dropbox screenshot showing a robed Jedi master standing atop a concrete wall, large polygonal structures behind her. Her robes, skirt, tunic, tabards, and hair are whipping in the wind as she holds her drawn saber in a two handed guard.

I donated to the Western Alaska Disaster Relief fund this morning and then saw two ravens while crossing campus.
Sometimes the universe is less subtle than others.

Two ravens at the scraggly top of a tall conifer. Without context it’s hard to tell but I promise, between the GRONK and the size, they’re ravens.

Updated display name for spooky season! Also here have my favorite villain look. She’s about to go on a mission to @geekgirlcon.bsky.social and get her butt kicked by the sunshiniest Padawan ever.
A Sith woman in red and burgundy leans casually against a wooden pillar. Her drawn red lightsabers and her controlled stare suggest maybe you should not engage today.

Post-game selfie with our unit leaders. :D
Two smiling humans. Me, a white brunette with shoulder length hair and a green t-shirt, holding up Úlfhildr the blue-armored, white and bronze-winged Valkyrja, and my boyfriend Joe, a dark-haired man with a salt and pepper beard in a RHPS shirt, holding up Typhus the green and bronze armored Plague Lord.

Oh no I may be a wargamer now

(My Valkyrja and Vlka Fenryka won the day via objective control against Joe’s Plague Marines.)
A winged armored warrior woman with drawn sword stares down a Plague Lord with his staff raised. A ruined fortress hosts a confrontation between winged armored women and red robed knights against green plague marines and poxwalkers. Dice and tokens at the ready as miniatures square up in ruined fortress terrain.

Got my Valkyrja on the gaming table!!! They were defeated by some Plague zombies and a Death Guard Lord, alas, but I learned things and will do better next time!
A rear angle on a tabletop battlefield, in which my Valkyrja overlook ruined buildings.

Here’s a better photo of the Deathwatch kill team (the PCs) and my Valkyrja.
Now I just have to figure out how to get mine on a wargaming table without committing the time and money into 2000 points of Adeptas.
Two d10s, five Space Marines, and three Valkyries.

Pulse rifles are not enough for that degree of nonsense.

Ah, the annual ritual of looking like a ceremonial doofus.
Me, a white brunette, smiling dorkily in a black academic robe and mortarboard. The bright gold velvet of my physical sciences masters degree hood is visible at my neck.

My favorite plane: the Museum of Flight’s M/D-71. A cousin of the SR-71 Blackbird.
A masked brunette white woman in an orange racing crew shirt takes a selfie in a museum great gallery, showing the cockpit and fuselage of an aggressive black jet above her.

Jedi Master Indara, from Star Wars: The Acolyte. Costume made and worn by me; original design by Jennifer Bryan and worn by Carrie Anne Moss. Photo by and at Norwescon.
A costumer portrays a Jedi Master in a cream uniform with a long brown robe. She is standing on a stage with an attitude of controlled confidence, her saber holstered at her side.

Dinner experiment: recreating the Satu’li Bowls from the canteen on Pandora WDW.
Result: delicious! Next time I may just do beef, and I’ll play around with the flavors just a touch for fun.
A kitchen, counters and stovetop laden with six pots/pans/bowls full of various foods. A white bowl full of a mixed hash, with chicken, beef, quinoa, coleslaw, tiny cubed starches, and creamy sauce.

Teo, a small brown tortoiseshell cat, stands between a window sill and a table full of books. She is industriously sniffing a small rubber spider with white glitter on its back.

First day of winter quarter means … interesting new tea.
A white bag of “King of Duck Shit Aroma Dan Cong Oolong” tea held near a mug with an infuser waiting. The fine print explains that the tea is called that because villagers were keeping outsiders from picking their tea, which grows in duck shit colored soil.
