I work on Firefox internals & Rust bindings
Probably can't fix your pet Firefox bug
Huh, I've never done #introductions.
Like all good superheroes, I have multiple identities~
By day I am a Software Engineer at Mozilla working on Firefox and Rust related projects, while by night I am a trans software girl who lives with her partners and a cat.
Toot at me about assembly, board games, weird software bugs, and trans shit.
I work on Firefox's DOM, so I probably can't fix your pet bug for you.
On a plane to SF~! Looking forward to seeing everyone :-)

In a related note, my selfie camera no longer has a crack over it, so theoretically the top half of every selfie I take should no longer be horribly out of focus >.>
I've got a new phone!
Don't have to deal with my old phone's bright pink line, cracked screen, or random typing anymore~ 🎉🎉
What were people's favourite runs at GDQ this year? Want to make sure I don't miss any of the awesome ones.
So I uhh... Was given these leggings and skirt for Christmas, but haven't figured out what on earth I can do with them yet...
I love the occasional times when I open my spam folder. I have pages and pages of emails like these. https://glitch.social/media/e-2QUFLuw0VeBQTIjHA
The best thing about making changes to nsTArray is that every time you make a 1 line change, you have to rebuild... basically all of Firefox to test it.
Is anyone in Toronto looking for a roommate for Feb 1st? I'm looking for a place.

starting tomorrow, docs made with the nightly rustdoc will be using the new Pulldown markdown parser by default https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/47398
the old Hoedown parser is still available with a command-line flag

Transit in Toronto really isn't doing great today >.>
Fascinating look at Firefox's new streaming WASM compiler from Lin Clark: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/01/making-webassembly-even-faster-firefoxs-new-streaming-and-tiering-compiler/
What phones would people recommend? I don't need a fancy one, but it would be nice if it had a good selfie camera.
