Almost five years ago now, frustrated by the lack of trans-inclusive children’s books that my best friends’ kids had as options, I sat down and wrote a story about a tiny trans/gender non-conforming superhero named Super Princess. It’s so exciting to finally be able to put this book out into the world. This is a story about the magic of empathy and the importance of approaching the world with love instead of fear.
I wrote an ‘intro to operations’ guide. The ideal audience is me a week ago.
Things have been quiet on this here tumblr, in part because I have taken to blogging about a subset of topics here.

Last fall I had a bit of free time and thought I’d try out making apps. It was definitely a learning experience! I got to work with Java for the first time in a long time, and with the Android ecosystem. Said ecosystem has its good parts and its frustrating parts, but let me just say: I love Android Studio. I’d marry it, if people were allowed to marry integrated development environments.
For my birthday this weekend I tried to make a Zoetrope cake. I was inspired by Alexandre Dubosc, whose cakes you should definitely look at after this one, because mine does not benefit from the comparison. I’m putting the gif below a cut, as it may be a bit of a migraine or seizure trigger.
Earlier this month I participated in a book sprint to raise awareness of the imprisonment of Bassel Khartabil by the Syrian government. Now, it is rumored he has been sentenced to death.
