I need to stop being a programmer, don’t I.

Okay, you can finally relax. The last trans girl without a choker just got one.
Selfie of me! Red-haired white 40 something trans woman with big dark glasses. I’m wearing a choker made of black and bronze loops. It looks pretty good.

Thank you to @lovethrupoke.bsky.social for introducing me to the Marvel Rivals Squirrel Girl design and how hard it goes. I am reminded of a line from @ericafails.bsky.social (I think?) that physical characters like SG should look like they can throw a punch and this Doreen absolutely can.
Art of Squirrel Girl from Marvel Rivals. Short, stocky red-head with a squirrel tail and Tippy-Toe — a gray squirrel with a pink bow — sitting on her head. 

She has very thick thighs and calves as befitting someone with the proportional speed, strength, and physical abilities of a squirrel.

“for moral convenience we will be breaking down all human behavior into two categories: Privileges and Traumas. Privileges will be bad and Traumas will be good. this will make discourse far more efficient allowing you more time to divest yourself of Privileges and acquire Traumas.”

When I first added a locale picker to our internal IWillVote.com Storybook page, I was debating whether the “Spanish” option should use the emoji flag of Mexico or Spain. It’s not much, but I’m still low-key proud of my decision. (And high-key proud of how many languages we’ve added since then!)
Screenshot of a language dropdown that includes Arabic, English, Español, Français, Tagalog, &c.

Each option is paired with the American flag emoji.

I don’t know how to feel about the person at the lost and found getting my gender right but assuming my hair color. Thanks for getting my water bottle back to me though! (For the record, I’m cis-ginger.)

Oh for an understanding of the mind of the Product Manager at Google who thought “after someone’s been in a video call, their Gmail should show unread indicators for every chat message they already saw.” Someone’s OKR was to increase pageviews to Gchat…

BTW this is all in reference to the Red Queen’s Race from Through the Looking Glass: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Que...
"Well, in our country," said Alice, still panting a little, "you'd generally get to somewhere else—if you run very fast for a long time, as we've been doing."

"A slow sort of country!" said the Queen. "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!" [1]

I propose a new software engineer concept, in the spirit of the “bus number”: The Red Queen Number. The Red Queen Number is — based on your team’s responsibilities and portfolio of products — how many engineers do you need running at full speed just to stay in the same place.

Looks like it’s a really good day to remind everyone of Escapade! She debuted in a @charliejane.bsky.social story in Marvel Voices Pride a few years back. She’s a trans woman (with a transmasc BFF) who has the mutant power to switch circumstances with someone nearby. Also check out that fit.
Comic panel of Escapade, an early 20s trans woman with short red hair and dyed blue tips. She is wearing a light blue jacket over a bright yellow jumpsuit and is flying over the ocean using some sort of rocket boots.

Columns are about their willingness to commit violence and rows are about whether they’re committing violence.
