I made a necklace at the last @fossandcrafts Hack and Craft! I said I was going to post it but then I didn't get a chance really.

So here it is... the necklace, in detail, and then me wearing it!

Unfortunately @mlemweb got another job rejection this morning... it's a rough time to be an academic, even an interdisciplinary-digital-humanities academic.

@mlemweb: "If I'm going to be a sad vampire I'm at least going to carry around a creepy doll"

sorry internet, this is a vampire household now

I did do a duckface test, but you have been warned

New episode of @fossandcrafts on "Gender and Sexuality, A Personal Perspective" https://fossandcrafts.org/episodes/30-gender-sexuality-personal-perspective.html

I talk about being nonbinary trans-femme and @mlemweb talks about being demisexual.

Sharing experiences is good... though a motivator for this episode (for me) is also that much of my work is public (ActivityPub, etc) and easily found. A "stealth" transition isn't an option for me without disconnecting from my past work.

So here it is, out in the open.

Me and @mlemweb, my favorite person

First ever real attempt at putting on makeup, and I intentionally went a bit dramatic...

I don't really know what I'm doing... but I felt good about it anyway?

At the request and desire of exactly nobody, including myself, here's a little creature in a hopefully non-series called "Bodied Horror"

for context, here is the sketch overlaid over top of the original photo

quick sketch-over in-between tasks

debated whether to post this because maybe it seems a bit narcissistic, dunno. but this was the first photograph where I felt good about myself really... so I thought it might be a nice exercise

Picture from my (extremely crappy) webcam. Still a long way to go, and not on HRT yet, but I feel increasingly better about myself, even with my many limitations.

And yes, that is a purple and black skulls-and-flowers dress. My favorite piece of clothing.

There it is, the amount of progress I managed to do on my little creature drawing during Hack & Craft! I really enjoyed today, I look forward to doing this again :)

More updates! some color now

more progress!

The creature I'm working on at Hack & Craft today!

It's been really fun so far... lots of people working on very different things! :)
