I Want A Dyke For President by Zoe Leonard

@Gargron Is that the last big Google me-too project gone?

@Gargron It was highly enjoyable even though the amount of Ikea furniture used as props was amusingly distracting.

@brunoph Ask away, if there’s anything you’re curious about. And yes, it’s definitely native, that is the only way to pull something like this off.

@worr @eevee

Me: "Just need some rest?"
Body: "Sure."
Me: "Too much rest?"
Body: "Yeah why not."

@Gargron Any chance of looking into https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/8248?

Looking at the zoomed-out version in particular, it looks like each layer of leaves has twice the number of leaves of the previous. They just peel off to the sides so quickly you don't quite notice.

Also, added zooming to the ShaderToy version.

@jk Probably clang?

@Ranjit It's like... I replaced the normal abs(z) > 2 exit test - which is a circle shape, and makes the usual Mandelbrot steps - with abs(real) > 2 && abs(imaginary) > 2, which is a cross shape that goes to infinity. Somehow the fractal iterations turns the cross into leaf shapes? For some reason?

(I rotated the cross shape to make them wave.)

Made a ShaderToy version too: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/MttBz8

@Ranjit The whole thing was such a happy accident. The leaf shape came from a misspelled end condition!

Resurrected some really old weird fractal code I'd created in the murky past, and converted it to GLSL, and added some animation. It's kind of relaxing:

Super appreciating the new office bathroom wallpaper. https://mastodon.social/media/PwTAuPXlzwSFc5Oq-CY

@halcy Is it really though?

@Skiriki @pzmyers My favourite thing about Finnish is that it has one gender-nonspecific pronoun for people, and one for animals and objects, and if you actually use the one for people about people you sound kind of stuck up.

@Skiriki @pzmyers Spotted the Finn.

@ranjit The biggest strand of actual tomatoes broke off under the weight already so not much luck yet. Lots more on the way, just hoping for the excessively long summer to keep exceeding.
