Feeling refreshed, excited, and a little sore in my muscles after #EMFCamp.
It's impossible to do it justice with words.
Spending a weekend surrounded by outrageously creative, talented people who are excitedly sharing what they've made just hits different.
It's reminded me what it looks like when tech is made by and for ourselves.
The other thing that stood out was how chill a space it was for queer people. It felt so easy to just be yourself.
I didn't think ahead to paint my nails or bring some more out there clothing, but next time round I deffo wanna rock some more queer looks 💅
@Sinjo we could've let you have some glitter. We had so much glitter. Everything is still covered in glitter.
@moraghickman @Sinjo always best to avoid looking like a straight cis guy, tbh (and I speak as a lifelong member of the Straight Cis Guy community)
@moraghickman @Sinjo if you have the opportunity to look fabulous, you should take it every time. It is never a mistake to look good
@pikesley @moraghickman @Sinjo I really need to sort out some more fabulous clothes for next time. I’m a lifelong jeans and t-shirt guy, time to diversify a bit as I enter my 40s.
@pikesley @moraghickman @Sinjo I was going to do a suit with EL wire running through it for this one but it got lost in the madness of everything else. (Also autocorrect nearly had me post that as shit rather than suit, which would have been a very different vibe)
@jon @pikesley @Sinjo @moraghickman ooh wonder if you could mix EL wire with muscle wire 🧐 I've never made custom clothes but thinking of trying to make a shirt from Morag's EMF fabric 😍
@webmariner @jon @Sinjo @moraghickman the third picture here is the back of my (now horribly moth-eaten) EL wire jacket

@pikesley @jon @Sinjo @moraghickman ah intriguing! I don't have an IG or FB account sadly (too old/cis/white/ad-sceptic 😄)
@webmariner @jon @Sinjo @moraghickman here's one by @sophiegarrett from 2022 https://flic.kr/p/2nr1Ti5
@pikesley @jon @Sinjo @moraghickman @sophiegarrett awesome 😍 think I saw an LED display hat in The Robot Arms this year but might just have been the strong craft beer 😌
