Just saw a cybertruck on 66 going towards DC. There goes the neighborhood. ...

Some professional news: after freelancing for 8 years I'm joining the News Applications team at @ProPublica I'm very excited to continue working on the kinds of large, ambitious projects I've been able to contribute to over there.

Banning mask wearing in public for health reasons has got to be illegal, even if some numnuts made it the law, right?

@artcollisions it definitely violates the whole 'life' part of 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happines' thing. Ugh

Sometimes I'm struggled with the performance and inconsistent behaviour between browsers while using css-doodle. This often leads me to consider switching to other tools.

But I really like the syntax of css-doodle. So maybe I could reimplement it using another render layer other than CSS, like canvas?

kristinHenry,
@kristinHenry@vis.social avatar

@yuanchuan I'd be tempted, if I like the syntax, to write a layer that I could access with my preferred syntax, as you suggest.

By the way, I use Canvas a lot in my own works. There are lots of quirks, but generally nice to work with, in my experience.

kristinHenry,
@kristinHenry@vis.social avatar

@yuanchuan I'm sure you already know this, but you can also combine canvas and svg, by layering divs on top of each other. I'd love to see what you'd do with that.

Part of getting the new community instance (datavis.social) up and running was deciding on my profile header. I went with an IterativeArt piece I created with code and the text "F*ck Cancer".

I started working on this piece in the days after my diagnosis but before going in for surgery. Even with my frustrations and scary emotions about Cancer, that I was feeling at the time, I still wanted to make the piece beautiful. As usual :)

In case you haven't followed along, my recovery is going really well.

I am so grateful to everyone who participated in making my recovery possible....so many amazing people work hard everyday to help other people through this experience.

It's that time again...I gotta get to work on my Maker Faire and SF Zine Festival applications, and cross my fingers that they accept me.

kristinHenry,
@kristinHenry@vis.social avatar

Do you know of any Art Festivals or Conferences that I should apply to?

I'm more interested in public facing events, so that I can expose more people to and in general.

But I'm open to more specialized conferences, if there's an actual interest there in my work.

kristinHenry,
@kristinHenry@vis.social avatar

I just finished my SF Zine Fest application. Crossing my fingers that they choose me, because I had such a wonderfully lovely time at last year's.

kristinHenry,
@kristinHenry@vis.social avatar

Oh wow! I don't know why I haven't thought of this before. But I'm thinking about making a zine about my project

@frozencanuck @Gargron @andypiper @mike @Flipboard If you start inviting local (to SF) folks running instances, I'd love to join in.

@andypiper @frozencanuck @mike @seb @anca It would be really great to meet other admins, especially any who went through that whole migration thing and having to learn a lot really fast :)

Would love to join you...do you have a Signal chat or newsletter thing?

The New York Times seems pretty convinced that TFG will win. Or is it just clickbait?

@Julie Maybe it's just what they want to have happen?

‘When she came back out, 17 hours later, Gubser was at the Farallon Islands, 29.7 miles away…’

“I was pretty steady for the most part, but at the end we hit a strong current and the water got colder,” said Gubser. “My progress was slowed because I was chilled to the bone. I did not expect 43 degrees. That was nuts.”

@burritojustice I'm guessing she didn't grow up in the Bay Area, with grandparents who would go on about how dangerous that area is?

Confession: I only recently started watching Girls5eva.

Another Confession: I watched it all, loved it all! So good!

Hoping for a season 4!

Thinking about a string of thoughts as a string of beads today.

I didn't get around to posting yesterday's drawing here, but it's on my Patreon and Ko-fi:

Decided on some dancing bees for today's drawing.

kristinHenry,
@kristinHenry@vis.social avatar

By coincidence, after drawing bees, I came across several stunned bees on the sidewalk, while on my walk.

It's cold and windy out there in San Francisco, so be careful not to step on any stunned bees on the sidewalks.
