@joeycastillo thank you for your bravery and for letting us know that you're doing better now.
@MakeAugusta out here nerd-sniping hardware nerds with this; I see you!

It's been awhile since I last reminded you that I love you.
I love you.
Keep it up; I know it's hard but we're not alone. Our community is stronger with us in it helping each other out.
@joeycastillo (hug) Good idea.

If @sprite_tm gets a @hackaday #SuoerCon badge, he WILL get DOOM running on it!
Hey you; you are beautiful and amazing and wonderful and loved.

At #supercon I was checking continuity while soldering, but couldn't hear the beeps well. @maketvee found it quite amusing that I held the multimeter to my ear with my shoulder. His image and captions *are* pretty funny, but he may also have inadvertently launched my new career as an LED hotline operator!
It's a LOT out there in the world right now and it has been for what feels like eternity.
We're all going through a lot. Hold some grace for each other and yourself.
Be kind. To yourself too.
Remember that you aren't alone. We're all in this together.

Four years ago, we taught our first in school program. The kids soldered together a circuit board and it played music!

Just a little late-night day-before-Supercon making. Coasters, because I think some people could use a daily reminder of this on their desk, and because you and your presence in tech matters to me. At Alpenglow Industries, we give the very classiest of fucks.

Back on my old BS again. I'll have a few hours to kill on a flight, might as well route a PCB with 512 six pin 2mm SK9822 HDR RGB LEDs! 😅
It's 10:55 AM Eastern and I'm glad you are alive.
Thank you for being here with me.

This morning a friend told me that @hackaday put an article up on their blog about my talk at last year's Supercon. This may shock you, but I have some feelings about this, starting with the last sentence "If you want to see more awesome talks like this..." implying that Supercon is the place to go for them. Well my friends, with half the number of women speakers this year as last year, and even worse diversity, I have to heartily disagree. A thread. 1/
