New account, so new #introduction. Let's do it again!

I have a #MastersDegree in #ComputerScience and #ComputerEngineering. I went to #NMU for undergrad and #MSU for my graduate degree. I currently work at #UChicago for the #TMWCenter, which focuses on helping young children acquire language (and therefore other learning skills) faster.

In my spare time, I develop #OpenSourceSoftware such as
- a #SphinxDoc extension that embed #Fediverse comments on your page
- a library to talk to #ManifoldMarkets from native #Python
- a #PredictionMarket manager using the above
- a #transpiler from a subset of Python to #OpenStreetMaps's #OverpassQL
- bug fixes to many other projects, including #mypy, #base58, #attrs, #CPython, & more

I spend a fair bit of my time these days on #MathResearch, specifically into the #ThueMorse Sequence and its extensions.

I'm also a hobbyist editor on OpenStreetMap.

#Demisexual, #transfem, and happily engaged to my #enby sweetheart.

We have two cats: #OpheTheLoaf and #MayalaranTheCat (yes, from #StormlightArchive) See here for more on them!

I speak English fluently, Spanish haltingly, and am trying to learn Chinese

TransFem SpaceOlivia A-C (@LivInTheLookingGlass)These are our cats, #OpheTheLoaf and #MayalaranTheCat. Ophelia was originally my partner's, we live together full time now, and are an integrated family Fun facts about Ophelia: * She is missing a tooth, so her lip sometimes gets stuck open in a cute way * She has an "activation noise" that sounds kinda like a pigeon * She will often do 10/10 loafs, hence the nickname Some facts about Maya: * Her favorite hobby is judging the neighbors * She is very anxious * She has an incredibly dainty play style * She has a series of increasingly ridiculous nicknames: Mayalaran -> Maya -> Mayo -> Aioli -> Au Jus (Follow the hashtags if you want just my cats) #CatsOfMastodon #CatsOfFedi (📎8)

Some late night photos of the Quad at The University of Chicago. Couldn't decide which one I liked the most so posted all three. I graduated with my Masters from there and I have many good memories of the place. Chciago is very big and because I live on the North Side of the city, I have been back to visit Hyde Park on the South Side maybe four times in the five years we have been back in the city.

A pathway lined with trees and illuminated by soft lights under a twilight sky. A person with an umbrella is walking along the path, which reflects the ambient light and has puddles from recent rain.
A serene university quad scene at dusk featuring illuminated trees adorned with white lights. The pathway is wet, reflecting the lights, and the sky is overcast with a blue tone.
A dimly lit pathway lined with trees and lampposts, reflecting light on wet pavement. In the background, a grand building is illuminated against a cloudy, twilight sky.

Oh dang, my #introduction post is waaay out of date now. Let's do it again!

We have two cats: #OpheTheLoaf and #MayalaranTheCat (yes, from #StormlightArchive)

Two cats are by a sliding glass window. The one towards the top of the frame (named Ophelia) is laying on a heat pad and staring at the second cat. The second cat (named Maya) is towards the bottom of the frame. She is sat on the entry rug with her body poked between the blinds on the window, so that she can look outside.
There are two cats in frame, near a very small cat tower. On top of the tower, Ophelia is laying down. Below, in a meercat-like pose, is Maya. She is trying to get a better view of the other cat. They didn't know each other very well at this time.
A gray cat, Maya, is laying on the couch. She is curled up such that her belly and paws are all exposed, though her tail is tucked near her feet. She looks peacefully asleep
A gray/gray-orange cat is laying on a white blanket. Her name is Ophelia, and she has one eye half open, which is a brilliant green-orange. She is very relaxed. You get the faint impression of a person's legs underneath the blanket

New Zine: UCHICAGO REPORTBACKS AND LETTER TO THE ENCAMPMENT (updated)

"here’s a zine reportback of various encampments on University of Chicago’s campus.

...

This is the south side of Chicago. You can tell who has left the UChi bubble and who hasn’t. People are going to do what they want. Shit is going to go down here this summer. When students leave, UCPD does not. They continue to police and harass the south side."

A banner hangs from a building. It reads 1. Free Palestine 2. Abolish the University 3. Land Back 4. Fuck Gentrification 5. Fuck 12

Kudos to @torstenreimer and the @uchicago #library for their words and action in support of banned books.
lib.uchicago.edu/about/news/ta

"The #UChicago Library has started work to build the #BannedBooks Collection, an attempt to bring together all books banned in the United States…We have already a quarter of the more than 1,500 banned books…We will grow this collection and keep it up to date…Importantly, this will also be a collection for access, available to everyone."
