Rest easy, Margaret Hamilton. A computer science hero of mine. She was the first female programmer on the Apollo Guidance Computer project, and later became Director of the Software Engineering Division at MIT's Instrumentation Laboratory. Famous for this image. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margare...
A black and white photo of Hamilton (wearing glasses and a dress) taken in 1969. She is standing next to printouts of the Apollo guidance software she and her MIT team produced. The printouts are bound and stacked. The stack is as tall as she is.

A handwritten sign, produced in real time, taped to a washroom door while a trans woman stood in front of it. Her band walked out. No statement, no compromise. Read what happened and why it matters.

First past the post is so stupid. Just look at Quebec's election results. The PQ winning a measly 28% of the popular vote, but still forming a minority government.

Youtube's interface has really become trash. The carousel with one comment, “Hype”, and an AI widget that's sandwiched between the social media buttons and a giant ad? Trash. I can only read video description if I tap "more" and then "see more." The ads are bigger than the video.

Playing go fish with my seven year old. Here are some of the things she has said: "A seven? Of course I ... don't." "I just counted my pairs. I don't know where this eight came from, though." "Go in the dark and fetch your dogs." "I can't tell anything. Not of the future, not of my eyes."

The Sportsman's Club in Charlottetown PEI booked the punk band Rougaroux, which has several trans members. The bartender immediately barred them from using the women's restroom, even taping up a transphobic sign. The band packed up their gear and left. Google and Yelp review your hearts out, folks.
