Finally back home after 2 weeks of travelling in the Netherlands.

It was the first travel I made as a fully out trans woman. But also happened to include:
* A passage to the youth hotel in women only dorm. With the nicest co-sleepers ever
* 2 gay bars, 2 lesbian bars, 1 trans bar (with karaoke where I really sung myself inside out) 🥴
* One pride march by complete accident
* One drag show in The Dutch National Theater by complete accident
* A #RustWeek conference with the most awesome #bevy people
* Way too many fashion purchases
* Visiting a wig specialist shop by complete accident
* Visiting the Christian history museum also by complete accident.

When you are more comfortable with yourself, it becomes so much easier to relate with others. Travel is more fun.

Expect pictures, but like not that quickly, because now I've to deal with work and trying to get out of the unhoused situation I'm in.

I spent most of this year so far figuring out possible designs to solve those problems.

RustWeek + All Hands were phenomenally useful! I worked w/ rustdoc, types, compiler, cargo, and other folks to poke holes in the designs and then patch them.

Thank you @rustnl for making it happen!

Ah, Utrecht and all its nice memories.
Looking forward to seeing y'all again at #RustWeek '27!

This is my first year at #RustWeek. I have met many people in real life. I would say, “Rust: come because it's good, stay because the teams and community make it even better.” Memories from this adventure are my treasure. By the way, if I didn't say hi, it's just because I'm nervous. 🫠 Always feel free to ping me on GitHub or DM me on Zulip.

I'm back home from #RustWeek and a short trip to Amsterdam, hewwo!

It got pretty warm again, so make sure to stay hydrated, y'all.

I think the most *unique* part of #RustWeek was a scheduled meeting with TC39 (the JavaScript folks) regarding date and time handling. But it is such an expert-level and niche topic that it turned out to be a one-on-one.

Last year's #RustWeek had the catchphrase "We can have nice things". I didn't see any catchphrase advertised for this year, but perhaps it would be something along the lines of "we can have even more even nicer things".

One thing I noticed was both the conference and all-hands had more content about our processes. So maybe "We can have a nicer way of getting more nice things"?

Perhaps next year the organizers should advertise a new catchphrase.

Back home from #rustweek

Safe travels to everyone that's still on the road, train, plane or ship.

I almost got killed by a motorcyclist (or almost killed them...?) at 160km/h ... Luckily they noticed me just milliseconds before it was to late (and I slammed that breaks and horn good time).

Enough adrenaline for the rest of the year I guess.
