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 ! Profile pic by @patooie.bsky.social, character design by @radpax.bsky.social
Side note: C++ is a wild language, y'all. Why does anyone use it? ...asks a person who's been actively using it for about 20 years 😆 I should learn Rust, but I'm just not sure it solves the issues I hate about C++, e.g. how it makes it unnecessarily convoluted to write efficient code.

I faced my anxiety and finally streamed for the first time in 3 months! There's so much I'm excited to do 🥹
I'm finally back to streaming, and now I'm FREE to write code on stream! What could possibly go wrong? 😼 I'm live now at twitch.tv/tawnycodecat #pngtuber #programmer #catgirl

Well, I was so optimistic, but #CMake decided it has no idea how to tell an executable it built how to find a library it also built and knows the executable depends on, and I've spent 2 hours just searching for how to solve that. I hate CMake so much. This is such a simple situation.
I think I might stream this evening (starting in a few hours) for the first time in months. I have so much that I'm excited to do. I'll probably be writing some code today 🖥️😺

I shouldn't post anything on BlueSky after midnight. I don't think clearly, I say something stupid that I regret so much a- wait, *checks current time* ...shit.

This video sums up a lot of how I feel about systems in general these days: youtu.be/NBZv0_MImIY Systems are now designed to be unreliable, designed to fail, designed to hurt us, and designed to break us. Nobody wins when neglecting how systems hurt people, not even the companies doing it.
Y'all mind if I complain for 15 minutes?

Thanks to @lunamikin.bsky.social for this coloured sketch! I sent a really goofy pose ref for fun, and she nailed it 😸 She's in urgent need of money for rent, food, and a new computer screen, so she's doing these for only $25, and offers other types of comms, too! 💜 bsky.app/profile/luna...

This lore & music video is so freaking cool! Warning for some flashing and mild body horror. Nice touch of having Adelia's eyes roll back right when #LuLuYam says "eyes roll back". Congrats on getting this out there! #animation
Finished the animation/debut trailer. Also has a lot of lore bits in there. Music by #LuLuYam

I'm gonna collapse now, nearly 2 weeks of 14 hour days. But y'all know I'll be back on the grind again soon

Love and appreciate y'all <3

It's amazing the difference a few days can make. I've finally left my job in big tech, after years of misery, and I'm so relieved. It's difficult to express just how shockingly much better I already feel from simply no longer feeling stuck there. Also, fuck A.I. and fuck the fascist tech circlejerk!
When I was young, people around me assumed I could become a billionaire. Now I'm around 40, and I'm so burnt out that I can barely function. I hear that most "gifted kids" burn out sooner than that, but it still stings... if I could feel much of anything right now. One day, I'll be human again 💜

BlueSky tells me that none of my mutuals are following this lesbian artist I found recently, so figured I'd share 💜 She also streams on Twitch sometimes and has made some fun YouTube videos.
another commission completed!

thank you @kumquats.bsky.social for commissioning me, this was fun to draw!!

if you also wanna help me keep making art, consider getting a drawing! - ko-fi.com/luna_mikin

The deadline for Canadians to respond to the Canadian government's A.I. adoption strategy survey (or emailing them) is this Friday, October 31st, probably today by the time you're reading this. Please let them know you want them to stop allowing A.I. companies to hurt us and the fabric of society.
You can email complaints about the premise and set-up of the questionnaire to ISED: [email protected].

You can even tell them they're not acting in accordance with the Directive on the Management of Communications and Federal Identity, as all the jargon makes it inaccessible to the public.
Canadians: The federal government is seeking public input on how AI should be developed and used in business, research, and the military.

If this scares the shit out of you, please let them know:

Please wear a mask in crowds, such as at conventions or protests, not just for yourself, but for others' safety. I can't safely go to conventions, since I have chronic breathing issues and so few people wear masks. Wearing a mask in public sucks, but I have to *and* my breathing sucks.

Random drama take nobody expected: I knew that Microsoft Word has supported documents of over 5000 pages for 18 years, since the file format spec is a Word document that big, but I'm still surprised that Google Docs supports a 1000 page document 😸 #iykyk Also, fuck Microsoft and fuck Google.

Finished, very happy with how this came out

Gonna have a third NSFW version in a week or so

Also had a request for prints so these are also on my Fourthwall

It's been a while since I've streamed, and it'll likely be a few more weeks still, but I'm determined to do a stream teaching how I wrote this music. It was intimidating, but I want to show people that it doesn't have to be, if you break it down and approach it like creative puzzle solving 🖥️😺
This music was such a fun challenge to compose, to be background music for the educational videos I'm working on for my main YouTube channel, and I'm so glad I commissioned @kindreds0ulz.error404vt.com to make it come to life www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzCi... It repeats at 4:13. #music #jazz

I won a crochet narwhal giveaway from @dragonsprophecy.bsky.social recently, and I was excited about a dragon plush she was making, so I ordered one of those, too. They arrived today, and they're so flippin' cute! My photographs don't do them justice. #art #crochet #plush #dragon #narwhal #lgbtq

Whenever there are people predicting a date for "the apocalypse", I remember Wikipedia's "List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events", which has over 100 dates in the past, and only a few dates in the next few hundred years. A good read: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

Some vent art

The news lately has been honestly terrifying and I dont want to say anything in my anger to avoid being a target

I will say I'll be out and proud no matter what, even if hope is slim we have spite and rage

If youre an ally, please be loud for us, we need your advocacy more than ever
