I'm Tawny (she/they), a goofball catgirl going back in time to teach her past self useful math, programming, music, and other shenanigans. Streaming on twitch.tv/tawnycodecat ! pfp by @patooie.bsky.social . Fuck gen A.I.! Support people!
Xenos has been working super hard preparing for her debut on March 3rd on Twitch, though she got sick the past couple weeks and had another big financial drain, too, so any support y'all can give her on Ko-fi or Patreon would help a ton:

I'm continuing the lessons teaching music theory from scratch! 5pm ET, 2pm PT, at twitch.tv/tawnycodecat with @xenosbreed.bsky.social, we'll be deep-diving on the basics and some not-so-basics of rhythm. It will be recorded 💜

Last night, I learned that I should work through difficult logic *before* stream 😸 The thing I was stuck on simplified a lot after realizing the desired value after the "compare_exchange" is always the same, no matter what the previous value is, so it could have just been an "exchange".

I'm diving in! 😼 www.twitch.tv/tawnycodecat

The next thing I'll be programming on stream is starting to get into some hardcore stuff: multi-threaded task dependency management. I know I can do it. I just need to stay calm and think through the logic in gory detail. And don't worry, there's worse yet to come 😸

There's so much that I'm excited to create this year! I just need to keep moving forward and take things one step at a time 🖥️😺

I'm live, writing C++ code for writing WAV audio files, which I planned to do weeks ago, but what is time, anyway? 😸 www.twitch.tv/tawnycodecat

I'm so hyped to stream "Super Chipflake Ü: Quest for the Uncooked Schnitzel" when it comes out next week. I've been following @chipflake.com almost since he started on YouTube, and it's exciting that he and SalsaShark Studios have created a full 3D platformer. store.steampowered.com/app/3064060/...

It's wild reflecting on that I've managed to avoid getting a respiratory infection for the past 6 years, via the very good fortune of being able to work from home, getting every vaccine available, and the personal sacrifice of my partner and me wearing masks everywhere in public, as well as

After years of occasionally having this tune pop into my head, from seeing this animated short when I was a kid in the 90's, I finally found a video of it online: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zMo...

Rogers internet tried to stop me from streaming, but I'm hoping to finish some C++ code for reading WAV audio files from scratch 🖥️😺 www.twitch.tv/tawnycodecat

Ubisoft shut down Ubisoft Halifax less than a month after the employees there unionized. They claim that it has nothing to do with the union. Their excuse seems to be that it's really so they can outsource all control of their game franchises to the Chinese company, Tencent, as if that's better 😑

As promised, here's the music theory section of the stream on my 2nd YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FC56... I saved both halves of the stream (singing and then music theory) as highlights at www.twitch.tv/tawnycodecat..., too.

Let's start 2026 by setting some good precedents!

Free Palestine. Trans and Nonbinary Rights. Black Lives Matter. Bisexuality and Asexuality are real. Disabled people deserve respect and opportunity. NSFW art and expression must not be suppressed. Fuck GenAI. Eat the rich.

And you are valid! 💜

I briefly mentioned it at the end of last stream, but I'm going to try a very different sort of stream next week sometime. A friend has asked if I could teach her music theory from scratch, with potentially writing music in mind, which really intrigued me. She's also just started learning to sing.

Just blocked 2 accounts that had "playing with LLMs" in their bio who followed me last night. It's my first time blocking anyone on BlueSky. Even if they're not bots, I don't have the patience to deal with people trying to encourage people to make software worse by using A.I. code generation.

As promised, I'm writing code for reading and writing WAV audio files from scratch. It's fairly straightforward, but I'm starting late, so we'll see how far I get 😸 www.twitch.tv/tawnycodecat

Did y'all know that froge takes art commissions? This is their "YCH Goobies" comm from vgen.co/hypofroge . I love how they captured the goofy vibe, and there are so many bases to choose from! 💜 These will hopefully be emotes on my Twitch channel once Twitch approves them 🏳️‍⚧️

Amazing Christmas YCH art by @lunamikin.bsky.social showing @lunazera.bsky.social and @nightskyevt.bsky.social making cookies together. There are *so many* little details! 💜🎄 Luna Mikin takes commissions at vgen.co/lunamikin #art #christmas #cookies

Next coding stream, I think I'll tackle reading & writing WAV files. It's a nice & simple audio file format, but with a few little quirks along the way, and I've found a good reference for it again. Will I stream on Christmas? 🎄 We'll see how it goes. Maybe Boxing Day.

A fun halfbody commission by @scarfinstein.bsky.social 💜 Her commissions are currently closed, but should be open again soon! bsky.app/profile/scar... Thanks, Scarfy! 😺
