Peaceful and calm... just like the beginning of a horror thriller

This is what my heart feels like in love.

Popped up at #SIGGRAPH to see #robots but got held up at the gate from the printer disconnecting from WiFi

I just woke from a dream where I was chasing a racoon (meerkat?) around a messy room for what felt like hours. It was oddly intriguing, the behaviors of a (hypothetical) meerkat, its little teeth nibbling on my fingers, with beady eyes and scraggly hairs, as it pounced around, corner to corner, between piles of my clothes. The few times it did land back into its own cage, I had misplaced the cage door to finish the job and would instead be holding up ill fitting planks in its stead, through which nooks the racoon would squeeze back out and begin the saga all over again. (Just utterly poor coordination on my part). The doorbell rings and and an initial three guests arrive to my dinner party, which was a potluck, for which I prepared nothing for. If I recall, a dozen other were foming. I wasn't panicked per se (I've long passed that) but did attempt to use the racoon as an excuse, but luckily my sister had been making a soup and the macaroni my friend made smelled delicious. Ironically, I woke up to my own endeavors cooking from last night which included a wonderful chicken soup and curry, of which I only took a tiny bite before falling asleep.

💌⚡️orienting the masses away from platform capitalism; key point > nodal behavior is "centrifugal" and built around principles of resilence, which reminds me of #confabulation and #octopodes

Back in LA after #DwebCamp in Alte Hölle; migrating now to #Fediverse 👋 please welcome my #introduction

My middle name comes from 新 (new) 泳 (swimming); meaning? my work is to bridge cultures and open new ways of thinking; we've got to move some rocks to let the waters flow & just keep swimming

Trained as a documentary filmmaker, now designing multimodal systems for interdisciplinary studies ( #obsidian and #knowledgegraphs ); & currently catching up with #examprep for my PhD #studywithme #undercommons #autofiction #storytime

SPOTTED: Did you know? Palantir's grounding ideologies actually derived from Frankfurt school pedagogy. How leftist cultural theory could become co-opted into a techno-fascist moral catastrophe signals toward the limits of interpretive method. You'll always find me gravitating toward #reparative approaches to education, arts, urban science, technology, etc. and in dialogue across sectors #letstalk
