New vyshyvanka today from Vyshyta along with the data pants I love but never wear because the pockets are too small. 😭 The embroidery reminded me of a delightful textile data visualization.

Another quiet Friday makes for a good excuse to commune with the Unicode Archives. Today I'm the Unicode 15 update to the Cyrillic code block, which increased the number of eyes in the multi-ocular O character. The legitimacy of encoding this in Unicode at all is frankly a little dubious; it appears once, in one manuscript, in the phrase "many-eyed seraph" (as seen on my dress). But I love it anyways.

Today I've got a meeting about and font design, so it was a day for my dress which has a boat sailing on a book... which may be derailed by the on the shawl I just finished. 🤔 I guess it's an extended metaphor...

Purple nails today for Rebecca Munson. 💜

This morning I found the perfect dress for "I'm teaching PCA today but mostly I'm just excited about the floor loom showing up after class."

Rhyming is a cheap hack for relevance, but I couldn't resist bringing "fashion" to the "passion" pop-up exhibit at the Library with the Mobile . Today's dress is 1924, a mix of magazines and fashion catalogs. And Dr Cheese Bones held a sign I embroidered today, with a salvaged screw-up.

There was a planning meeting today in the library, so I wore my library data dress: both digital and analog.

Today I'm running an event at the so I made a new dress last night. Calling this one "sewing is fun and easy and you should try it". 😂 The skirt is reminiscent of a Japanese sewing pattern with all the pieces laid out on top of one another.

It's Unicode day! 🥳 Today we're diving into graphemes vs glyphs, codepoints, conlangs, private use areas, and all the human labor and decision-making (and by whom) that goes into you being able to read multiple scripts on your phone at the same time! It may be my geekiest class, but I think it's important for students especially to understand the basics of this stuff.

Played a game of "copyright or wrong" with the students with my outfit and favorite sweatshirt to see how they could reason through copyright and derivative work issues after reading the on copyright, fair use, and the DMCA. Had fun making slides for a crash course on IP. Then we got onto Winnie Pooh in the public domain, which led to a brief screening of Russian Winnie the Pooh.

Kicking off my class for the third time today. Same dress as the first round in winter 2019 (Glagolitic FTW!), different pretty much everything else.

Today's outfit is a tribute to a project on domestic appliances in fiction that never quite came together. RIP project with beautiful metadata.

Presenting to the Estonian ambassador today so it's a day for one of the SUCHO art dresses. Henna from being in a friend's wedding party over the weekend; glitter nails just because.

I was short on inspiration for today's outfit, but given the love for the Starry Night dress over in the wedding attire advice thread, I thought I'd take it out of the closet today. It's a bit cool and breezy, so I've also got my new Mario Kart Rainbow Road jacket. 🌈

Dressed for the 5 AM talk on directories as utopian infrastructure (the flying unicorn leggings) with a shout-out to SUCHO (the sunflowers & Kalush hat). Sustainability is lies and fantasies we commit to believing; what's sustained is what you've learned.

I ordered myself a special occasion dress from Vyshyta in Kyiv, and the grand opening of the new library wing seemed adequately special to wear it! You too can support Ukrainian artists & cultural heritage here: etsy.com/shop/Vyshyta

We had a textiles pop-up event today at work, so I wore a dress of @nafpaktitism cross-stitch & ran a hands-on portion for people to adapt weaving patterns to perler beads

20 hours between landing in California and the first meeting back at work. Talking about at the @StanfordDLCL@twitter.com Research Unit symposium, on the topic of "in what ways do language and literature matter?" May coffee run freely today. ☕☕
