Engineer-brain is a thing and so many of the engineers I work with are oblivious to social systems, yet try to have opinions. Society is not a machine.

So many people told me I made up the movie (probably because I was too young to describe the movie correctly) but I recently learned I did not make it up, and it is called "Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland." It gave me nightmares.

Apple Orchard haul! Featuring my annual maple syrup purchase that manages to run out in September every year.

4 candles, a half peck of honeycrisp apples, a frozen apple pie, a bear bottle of honey and a small bottle of maple syrup on a table. All from Ferguson's.

"What beautiful creatures we have found in the bog! What lovely songs they sing." A painting I did for the folk horror TTRPG "The Woods at Blight's Hollow" I co-created with Oli Jeffery, now available for pre-order 🧜‍♀️

Two gaunt, feminine humanoid creatures with luminescent skin and mermaid tails, each sporting 6 glowing eyes in alien looking heads. They sit in repose in a pond with glowing, shimmering water, in the woods at night. In the distance you can see a light in the window of a lone wooden cabin.

Every year during Fall orientation the UMN Libraries asks students to draw Goldy Gopher to win a prize. These are some of the best ones. Go Gophers!

A large number of post-it notes with drawings of Goldy Gopher stuck to a wall in Walter Library.

My concern with driverless taxis is we always fail at dealing w the next evolution in more driving, more car infrastructure, more traffic. We'd better take ownership of city streets now or one day realize these companies own us. We know how hard it is to regulate after the fact.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

Excellent letter + thread by EHB, BET and Tom Olsen. On another note, I can't imagine what my employment status would look like if I continuously spent outside the budget I am given /and/ didn't follow CAPA & RCA for unwanted outcomes. What a strange little universe to exist in.

This is a Lilly Wachowski appreciation post. 💜 This whole interview is well worth your time but here are just four questions with awesome answers if you want just a taste of the awesomeness. (How the hell do you pass on these projects?) (I know why but I hate it.) variety.com/2026/tv/feat...

Screenshot from variety interview with Lilly Wachowski:

question: I think all art is political.

LW answer: Absolutely. Art that doesn’t take a political point of view is a political point of view. I’ve said this before, but if I never make another movie again, I’m fine. I’m getting old. But in my experience of pitching stuff, I’ve pitched a lot of wonderful, cool queer stories and trans stories, and Hollywood didn’t want any of it. There was this TV show based on this comic book “Cosmoknights” that I was going to direct, and it was from me and Emily Andras, who made “Wynonna Earp.” It’s “Star Wars” with lesbians in space. Amy Poehler was producing it, and we pitched it all around town. We had a cool bible that Emily had written, and I put together a jazzy video for it, and everybody passed. We had this cool adaptation of “Manhunt” by Gretchen Felker-Martin, which was a bestseller on all these top ten lists, and couldn’t get that going. This is around 2022, and now it’s four years later and I haven’t made a thing. I cannot find a studio that will do any of it.

screenshot from LW interview in Variety:

question: You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

answer from LW: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

screenshot from Variety interview with Liilly Wachowski:

question: Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling are two people who have inflicted an enormous amount of cultural damage on the trans community. What are your thoughts on them?

answer from LW:
I mean… these people are Nazis. They’re literal Nazis. There is a one-to-one connection between Elon Musk and the Nazi community. He did a full-blown Sieg Heil on a national stage. I think that the global community needs to firewall the U.S. from their populaces in a way because this country has allowed Nazi propaganda to proliferate at such a degree that it has become dangerous to the global population. As much as another country can, I think they need to be fighting back against hate speech and shutting those platforms down. They’ve had some success in Brazil and Europe, but it’s kind of over for the U.S. and the U.K. at the moment. What Twitter does and what Meta does in the U.K… they’re cooked.

screenshot from Variety interview with Lilly Wachowski:

question: There is a big “Harry Potter” series coming out on HBO soon and there are many people opposed to it because of J.K. Rowling’s transphobia.

answer from LW: She is funding trans genocide. J.K. Rowling funds trans genocide, full stop. So, if you support “Harry Potter,” you’re supporting trans genocide. The money that goes into you enjoying these products, a portion of that money goes to J.K. Rowling and that money goes into her funding anti-trans legislation all over the world. In the same way that if you are against Elon Musk, you boycott or don’t buy Tesla; and if you’re against global warming/climate change, you try not to buy as much gas, you try to mitigate your use of these products. It’s simple math. So, your enjoyment of these shows, and continued support of these shows, is supporting my eradication.

Still thinking about that CHS Field hotdog I had last night (and Mudonna, of course).

I am holding a Garrison Squealer hot dog topped with sauerkraut, onions and peppers in front of CHS Field. Mudonna is having a blast dancing on the field in the background, her tutu in the breeze.

Later, I am holding a Saints baseball helmet bowl full of dipping dots in front of CHS Field.

We deserve (and should demand!) both a safe, reliable, and rapid transit space and a pleasant pedestrian space! We fight over the scraps while much of downtown is built to prioritize the convenient flow and storage of personal vehicles

disrupting transit is the entire point of these events on nicollet mall... it's not an unfortunate side effect. the city has said that these events they've been doing for several years now are their showcase for what they could do if we only remove transit
