Prototype of a Compute Module backpack ready! ⚡🎒

OK, our 10164227-1004A1RLF (https://www.digikey.com/short/3z8mb49f) Compute Module connectors came in, so we're ready to fab this prototype of our Compute Module 4 or 5 backpack. Timon updated it to have an EYESPI connector to bring out some GPIO's and make it easy to connect small displays. There's so much packed on here; we're worried about how we're going to make a test jig for so many connectors! We may need to use an IO multiplexer to address so many pins with a microcontroller - while using a CM5 to do the test sounds 'fun,' it would not be good to have such a delicate board used for testing hundreds or thousands of these in the fabrication department.

Darrell Lucus at Loud, Liberal, Christian:

On Sunday afternoon, Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, once one of the most influential churches in the country, announced it had found a successor to its disgraced founding pastor, Robert Morris. Namely, Daniel Floyd, founder and pastor of Lifepoint Church, a Southern Baptist multisite church based in Fredericksburg, Virginia with five locations in Richmond and the outer portion of Northern Virginia. A deep dive into Floyd’s background shows this announcement is the equivalent of a big, fat middle finger to Cindy Clemishire and anyone else Morris victimized over the years. Lest you think that’s hyperbole, if you seriously believe that Cindy was the only person molested and/or groomed by Morris over the years, there’s a bridge in Brooklyn I would like to sell you. For starters, the SBC has shown beyond any doubt that it is not serious about addressing sexual abuse in its ranks. More seriously, Floyd is on the “lead team” of the Association of Related Churches, a network of churches that has been shot through with sexual abuse scandals over the years. Gateway has longstanding ties with the ARC; it has hosted several ARC gatherings in the past. All of this makes a statement Gateway elder Tra Willbanks delivered on the Sunday before Election Day ring extremely hollow. If you’ll remember, when Willbanks revealed a summary of an internal investigation into Morris’s misdeeds, he revealed that Gateway was cooperating with a criminal investigation—one that this writer exclusively revealed shortly afterward was being conducted by Oklahoma state attorney general Gentner Drummond.

While speaking to the congregation, Willbanks revealed that the internal investigation showed multiple Gateway elders and staffers knew that Cindy had not merely had “moral failure” with “a young lady,” in the words of the now-infamous press release Gateway initially cranked out when Cindy came forward last summer. Rather, they knew Morris had groomed and sexually assaulted a girl who was 12 years old. And yet, they did absolutely nothing—in flagrant disregard not only of common human decency, but Texas law dating back to the 1980s. Willbanks also revealed that several other elders and staffers knew enough that they should have asked more questions, and didn’t. I would add that based on this revelation, it’s a near-mathematical certainty that anyone responsible for drafting that press release reasonably should have known that they were complicit in victim-blaming and victim-shaming of the worst type. They also reasonably should have known that a 12-year-old girl is most assuredly not “a young lady,” but a child. Willbanks revealed that anyone who either knew Cindy wasn’t “a young lady” or who failed to dig deeper and who was still on Gateway’s payroll had been “removed” for behavior that was “fundamentally wrong and cannot and will not be tolerated” at Gateway. But then he helps greenlight the hiring of someone with close ties to a network with a long history of this very sort of behavior? Sorry, Tra, but your lofty announcement of November now sounds something like this. [...]

What happened to Cindy, though, is exactly why so many people—including more than a few of my friends—have been reluctant to go to church in person. One of the biggest reasons survivors of sexual assault don’t come forward for years, if at all, is that they often have doors kicked shut in their faces by the very people who occupied positions analogous to those who knew the true nature of Morris’s crimes and did nothing. The signal must go out that if you turn a blind eye to this sort of depravity, sweep it under the rug, you will answer for it in this world. And if you turn a blind eye to this depravity, you will bear the opprobrium of being a convicted felon. Put more succinctly, what happened to Cindy was so heinous that there is no such thing as overkill. No one should have to wait decades to get justice for being molested anywhere—and certainly not in church, one of the few places where one has the right to feel safe. Any inclination I might have had not to demand a prosecution went out the window when Gateway hired Floyd as pastor. Any church that sees fit to give a very large and very public finger to survivors in this way has forfeited its right to exist. To be sure, Gateway is already in a death spiral. By the end of the summer of 2024, attendance was down by 19 percent. Shortly after Willbanks announced the results of the investigation, victim advocate and Metroplex resident Amy “Watchkeep” Smith got her hands on a video message to Gateway staffers from Kenneth Fambro, one of only three elders left at Gateway after the church purged those whom it says either knew about Morris’s crimes or failed to ask questions they should have asked. Fambro revealed that tithes were down 35 to 40 percent, though Smith thinks that number was a lot closer to 50 percent. But if it finds it remotely acceptable to hire a pastor with ties to a network with a history of sexual abuse, it’s time to twist the knife. To be sure, Gateway is already facing a world of potential legal hurt. By admitting that a lot of people at Gateway knew for years that Cindy wasn’t a young lady, Willbanks crapped away all of Gateway’s legal capital in one stroke. If Cindy and her lawyer, Boz Tchividjian, are so inclined, they can take Gateway to the cleaners in a civil suit. After all, Willbanks admitted to a situation that is the very definition of fraudulent concealment, giving Cindy a chance to take a battering ram to the statute of limitations. For that reason, if Gateway’s lawyers have any sense, they’re in settlement talks with Cindy and Tchividjian right now. Otherwise, the only question would be how many zeroes are in the damage award.

Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas has picked a new pastor to replace the disgraced Robert Morris: Daniel Floyd, a pastor of Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) church Lifepoint Church that is based in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Floyd has served on the lead team of the Association of Related Churches (ARC), a group that Gateway Church belongs to.

Both the SBC and ARC have faced scrutiny for coverups of sexual abuse.

Hi there! First of all, thank you for this blog, I have found numerous amazing sapphic stories because of it 🌸💗

And I wanted to ask if you have any greek mythology inspired sapphic novel recs (e.g. the lies we sing to the sea)?

Thank you for the kind words! Always happy to hear my posts helped someone find a book they loved. And for sure I got a few recs for you!

Besides already mentioned Lies We Sing to the Sea by Sarah Underwood, there's Outrun the Wind by Elizabeth Tammi and Coils by Barbara Ann Wright, there's also Hades and Persephone retellings like The Dark Wife by Sarah Diemer and Captive in the Underworld by Lianyu Tan.

And if you enjoy longer series, you can check out Thermopylae Bound by Belinda Harrison which is a 6 book series about Greek warriors.

A Practical Guide to Customizing TFT LCD Displays for Embedded Projects

When designing an embedded system, picking the right display module is more than a technical choice — it directly shapes how users interact with your product.

From medical devices and HMIs to industrial controllers and smart panels, standard TFT LCD modules may not always be enough. That’s where custom displays come in — offering flexibility in electrical interface, mechanical layout, and visual performance.

This guide covers the five key areas you should consider when customizing a TFT LCD for your embedded project.

1. FPC Layout and Pin Mapping

The Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) connects your LCD module to the mainboard, and in custom designs, this interface is often the first thing to change.

Ask yourself:

Do you need a uniquely shaped or angled FPC to fit inside your housing?

Are there ICs, resistors, or other components on the backlight or CTP that require mechanical clearance?

Is your SBC’s connector pinout compatible with the LCD’s FPC layout?

A mismatch here can lead to signal errors, mechanical stress, or even damage to components.

2. Backlight Brightness and Color Temperature

Not all embedded devices live under the same lighting.

If your product is used outdoors or in industrial lighting, consider high-brightness backlights (≥800 nits). For environments where aesthetics and color warmth matter (like smart mirrors or indoor kiosks), choose the right LED color temperature:

3000K (Warm White): Soft, suitable for medical or ambient lighting

5000K (Neutral White): Balanced tone, accurate colors

6500K+ (Cool White): Sharper, more industrial feel

A poorly lit display can make a great device feel underwhelming.

3. Touch Panel Shape and Bonding Options

If your display includes a touch interface, customizing the Capacitive Touch Panel (CTP) is critical.

Typical customizations include:

Round corners, logo cutouts, button holes

Bonding methods:

Optical bonding: Improves visibility, reduces reflections, stronger seal

Air bonding: More affordable and easier to assemble

The bonding method directly impacts touch accuracy, display clarity, and long-term reliability.

4. Surface Treatments: AG, AR, and AF

For devices exposed to bright light or frequent finger contact, display surface treatments make a noticeable difference.

AG (Anti-Glare): Scatters reflected light, improving readability

AR (Anti-Reflection): Enhances contrast in sunlight or strong lighting

AF (Anti-Fingerprint): Reduces smudges, improves touch feel

Combining AG+AF is a common choice for public-facing touchscreen displays.
