Photographer, nerd, write things on the internet sometimes. I miss cohost. she/her/hers

A view of the segmented type on Philadelphia's "El", reading "MILLBOURNE".
A photo taken out the final car of a run on philadelphia's market frankford. The trip has passed 69th street, and has greenery visible on all sides. The car is empty.
A close-up of a ginger cat named "Sake", left half of her face cast in shadow.
A bird of some kind after plunging into a river and catching a fish, still suspended in its beak before being swallowed whole.
A robin perched on a moss-laden branch letting out a sound. The light blue sky is visible in the background.
Turkey bacon, egg, and Swiss on an everything bagel in foil and wax paper. The crust is golden and illuminated by lights off to the right.
A robin, mid-flight frop the top-down. Grass is visible peeking up from the lower frame before fading into a no-parking "yellow-marked" curb, where the robin is largely over asphalt.
A screenshot of SDR++ on Windows, showing a waterfall of signals with the radio tuned to approx. 98.7MHz (FM), the waterfall interrupted by incredibly brief but visible and significant distortions. They manifest as pops and glitches and indicate that maybe the hardware isn't working correctly, hence the post title of "my sdr, she is very sick"
Screencap of "Revolutionary Girl Utena" with Tenjou Utena-san curled up in a ball, nestled between a dresser and a desk. She is currently trying, very hard, to not cry. Like the rest of us.
The projector screen of the main theater of AGDQ2025 showing an oblique eggbug in the bottom right of the frame. Linkus7's wind waker run is going.
A photograph of leaves covering a forest floor. Some, but not all of the leaves are crushed, dry and crisp in the fall air. All of them are a pale to deep brown and red. Most of them are approx. 3-4in in size and would make a crisp "crunch" sound if stepped on. The photo shows about a 2ft wide and ~18in tall area for the full visible frame, with the edge of the frame partially blurry due to depth of field.
A photo of the underside of a SV08 3d printer, focused on the front right corner. The bottom electronics cover has been removed, a 120mm wide fan taped in place above the mainboard. The gaff tape is hastily applied but functional. The printer appears to have been put on risers with TPU feet and PETG "heels". The trans flag is visible in the background.
Two computer case fans, one significantly larger than the other. Left is 120mm diameter, approx. 20mm thick. Right is approx. 30mm diameter, 5mm thick. Both run on 24V and are on a desk with the slightest peek of a mouse visible to the top right of frame, and a mechanical keyboard to the top left to center. In the background, partially occluded is the lid to a tupperware container, a resealable plastic baggie for cable ties, and a lunch tray for use in holding printer parts. The occluded items are assorted inside random cables underneath the desk used to power other items off-frame.
A close-up shot of the bottom corner of a Sovol SV08 3d printer. The replacement foot is purple TPU, four ridges acting as damping to prevent the printer from shaking too much. In the background, bokeh obscuring the image is the uncovered electronics from fan retrofitting to improve the system's stability thermally.
A photo of the Market Frankford Line in Philadelphia from overhead using the crossover for the opposite direction. This is in the track's aboveground section, with the center of frame heading towards one of the major suspension bridges in the city. The photo is occluded through a chain link fence and has 2 and 3 story buildings lining the center pathway.
A close up photo of the Cocoa Press' 1.6 nozzle taken on my Fuji X-T4 with a 18-50 lens and a 10mm teleexpander (iirc). The brushed steel and slight flaring of the nozzle are visible.
A top-down photo of all of the 3d printed parts in a Cocoa Press chocolate 3d printer laid out on a butcher block table. The parts are a mix of the official Cocoa Press colors in dark red and brown.
Photo of the test 3d printed key profiles on an incredibly dusty stenograph machine purchased on eBay, the broken screen's dimple still visible.
a screenshot of PrusaSlicer showing the sub-isometric view of the two key test prints, one a "profile" with the curve that makes up the topmost row of the steno's keys. The other is with a curved profile end, slightly shorter, that makes up the bottom two rows of keys.
A ten pack of BF350-AA strain gagues in a package, next to a US 25c coin. The strain gagues in their entirety are about a fourth of the width of the 25c coin.
A photo of a rectangle with a large hole in the middle, 3d printed, approximately the size of a Graflex 4x5 film holder. In blue, there are two sets of linear rails on "wings" above it, with their carriages mounted vertically to support a horizontal linear rail facing directly down for the sensor support (not added yet.) There are two knurled screwdrivers in the background.
Photo of a Crown Graphic 4x5 camera with a blue 3d printed camera board with the text "UWU" on it, upside-down. The lens is not mounted yet due to thickness errors. The board is slightly mis-sized.
A small USBC PD powered hot plate being held in a hand with black painted nails. The wall behind it is blue, with the shades of a window visible. The main frame of the unit is white acetyl of some kind, with the actual heating elements being three stocked printed circuit boards.
