So long Copenhagen! On our way to Cologne via Hamburg on a very new, and very fast, Euro City Express train. 🚄 This is a step up from your run-of-the-mill ICE train.

Watching Gentlemen Prefer Blondes in honor of Marilyn’s 100th. I first watched this film in a feminist film theory course, so I feel I’m on pretty firm ground.

Marilyn Monroe in an iconic dance number from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, wearing a pink dress flanked by dancers also in pink.

Voted in the Democratic primary (in NYC). 🗳️ I even got a sticker!

The image features a person wearing a light blue shirt with a sticker that reads "I VOTED BY MAIL" on their chest. There is a large glass of yellow liquid in the foreground, and the background shows an outdoor setting with blurred figures.

Ok! Here we go. Heading to Minneapolis for Open Source Summit (where I will be speaking about Human Rights and Standards) and OpenSSF community day (where I will be speaking about making the web more secure)!

Who’s got two thumbs and voted Green? This guy. In other words, me. 💚

A person (me) stands outside a polling station giving a thumbs-up gesture. They are wearing glasses, a black jacket, and a gray scarf. Behind them is a sign that reads "Polling Station" and a wall with community information.

My ride for next 14 hours, over the pole. Sadly, not a Pokémon plane this time. Can’t have everything… 🛫

An airplane (777) at the terminal, with a view of the engine and boarding steps. The aircraft displays the "All Nippon Airways" branding. The sky is clear with some clouds, and there are luggage carts in the background.

Well we were worried we might not get any takers on this rainy evening but North London kids have not let us down. 🎃 #Halloween

A carved pumpkin with a spooky face is illuminated from within, resting on a white plate against a dark background. There is a small piece of pumpkin on top.

Can confirm the presence of frogs in London. 🐸

A group of individuals dressed in inflatable dinosaur and frog costumes stands outside a modern building (the US embassy in London). They hold signs that read "TYRANNOSAURUSES AGAINST TYRANTS" and one figure displays a "STOP the broligarchy" sign.
