Happy to help! Thank you for giving me an external deadline for getting the laser cleaned and maintained and back up and running. 💖 I can’t wait to see this in person!

Prepping for #teardown2026 and flying to PDX in a week. Thanks to @alpenglow.bsky.social for laser cutting this black LED acrylic for my demo box.

A carry-on sized pellican case is open and has a piece of matte black acrylic filling out most of the lid - there are 3 LED strips glowing rainbow from behind. Two vertical and one horizontal. In the bottom half there is a similarly cut white piece of acrylic with a battery bank, travel router, rapberry pi and a handful of other electronics sitting on it

As I’m putting the final thoughts into my talk for @crowdsupply.bsky.social #Teardown2026 next week, what do YOU want to know about the process of shutting down my business? I’m leaving a chunk of time for an Ask Me Anything, but would love some input beforehand! www.crowdsupply.com/teardown/por...

This is a great little board for beginners and omg why haven’t I been sticking jewels on my pcbs this whole time? You bet I’m gonna start bedazzling new ones.

I just grabbed one of these faceplates from the stash you sent to @lasermistress.bsky.social for her camp! Your name came up so many times last weekend, your pcbs were super popular for jewelry-making and I wore your khamsa around one night. I hope you feel all the good vibes we sent your way. 💖💖💖

Who is going to SOAK next weekend? I’ll be there with @lasermistress.bsky.social ‘s There U Glow camp and am doing an intro to circuit boards talk on Sunday.

What the hell is a circuit board and what do you mean I can just make one?
À There U Glow
• Sunday 1-2pm
Class/Workshop, Miscellaneous
Instructor - Carrie Sundra (she/her)|
Do you vaguely know what a circuit board is, but not how it works or how it's constructed? Would you like to have someone explain this and the jargon around them? Are you mystified by how someone can seemingly just pull a fresh circuit board design out of thin air, show the physical board to gf you, and be like "l made this!"? "

and it's her default art form for rage-making and political commentary. She loves to break down gatekeeping and share her knowledge with anyone who's curious.

IMPORTANT LOCATION INFO: We are located at the SOAK Welcome Sign at the end of Forest Entry closest to where you drive in. Most map resources are incorrect about our placement. Don't let that stop
you!

The last 2 sentences of that quote resonate for me: “I don’t want to be the person arguing with a robot, or wasting my time reading something that a real person couldn’t be bothered to write.” I have zero desire to interact with AI, I just want computers to deterministically do what I tell them.

Come into the black hole with meeeee! I fixated on Gorgar for many years before finally jumping and getting one. It’s how it starts. :) Seriously tho it’s so fun, all the learning, messing around in that mess of wiring, constantly fixing shit, it’s just great.

Xenon is so great! I also love pinball manuals - I have originals for my two machines (Gorgar and Pin-bot) and love the fold-out large format schematic sheets.

More progress on designing a soldering kit badge this year for my femme/queer electronics camp. Compliments please, I'm very very tired and pushing super hard and could use them.

a screenshot of a design of a 2d lineart guillotine. It has decorative flourishes with little hearts on the top and bottom, and words running down each side that say "Eat The Rich" and "There U Glow". On the left is a black and white version, on the right a black and gold one.

Slip you stitches until your needles are at that point and then yep, I use a crochet hook to pull the loop thru and stick it back on the needle. Repeat around. The one to the left of that one looks like 2 stitches and the bigger loop all the way to the left is a few more.

060

Carrie (prev of Alpenglow) @alpenglow.bsky.social · 16/03/2026

Your second problem is clearly the worse one. 😂 The loops are definitely dropped stitches and now that you’ve got your stitches back on the needles and proper count. you can def go back and fix them. The rightmost looks like a single stitch - you can see the skipped one in the middle.
