Happy birthday Elke Mackenzie!
British lichenologist Elke Mackenzie was born on 11 September 1911. She's best known for her participation in Operation Tabarin, where she travelled to Antarctica during the 1940s to collect and study lichen samples. Elke came out as trans in 1976, and announced in the International Lichenological Newsletter, that she “should now be addressed as Dr. Elke Mackenzie.”
Before coming out, Elke had subtly inserted her true identity into her work - a 1972 paper of hers, published under her deadname, acknowledged "Miss Elke Mackenzie for technical and bibliographic assistance in the preparation of this paper."

Saw this on insta and this seemed like the place to share. ACS conferences are a great time for any undergrads (I just went to one this spring)!

My game is out now!
re:curse is a surreal RPGmaker horror game inspired by the likes of OFF, Ib, LISA: The Painful RPG and Yume Nikki.
Play as distraction-prone researcher Linda Langley and explore as your laboratory distorts and degrades around you. Send emails. Grapple with your clown infestation. Face consequences. Maybe even survive!
This is a game about...
doors
screens
bitrot
self-fulfilling loops
computer viruses (not real ones)
trans-temporal communication software
gay subtext
surprises
secrets
re:curse was solo developed as a passion project, mostly between 2020-2021. I've returned to it and added the final touches necessary to make a finished game. Bundled with the game is a trove of bonus content for your perusal, including uncompressed source files, concept art, unreleased original music, 3d files, and more. I hope you enjoy!

bad news everyone. the mad scientist girl was a lot less kinky than i thought she’d be. she didn’t even try to perform unethical experiments on me. the tentacle monster was cool though.

I just finished watching Birth/Rebirth (2023) an hour ago and I immediately had to make these. I don’t know what has been possessing me to make things like this lately, but it’s like an addiction.

There are two different kinds of queer adaptations/retellings of a story. The first kind simply makes characters queer, the second weaves queerness into the THEMES of the story, making a story that is deeply, fundamentally queer.
The Glass Scientists is the latter. It takes the unintentional underlying queerness of the original novella and makes it explicit. Jekyll in TGS made the potion and split Hyde off from the rest of himself because he didn’t want to keep pining for his gay ex-lover anymore, leading to a literal embodiment of everything he’s afraid of embracing, including, no, especially, his queerness. That queerness didn’t go away in Jekyll, but it’s ever more present in Hyde because he embraces it. Hyde isn’t afraid to be chaotically and proudly queer.
