I met one of my academic heroes today, and it was everything I wanted it to be. 🥰

Listened to Ep1 of Critical Role: Campaign 4 yesterday on my drive up to IL. I went into it not feeling very confident about how I’d feel about so many players, but BLM really handled it well! I’m excited to see character progression and watch the story unfold.

I know it's hard, but you have to outlive the family members who would misgender you at your funeral.

You have to.

Proudhopper, bronze and 925 sterling silver, second edition, completely reengineered. 6.5 months to make—I have a day job, but this took far longer than expected as I learned to cast, those wings in particular! Based on actual planthoppers (Fulgoridae). I’m as proud of him as he is of his nose ❤️

Two views of a bronze and silver planthopper with a long nose in my hand. On the left, my hand is outstretched and the planthopper is perched on it, ready to jump. On the right, I am holding the planthopper upside down so you can see the ventral details.
