Happy 83rd birthday to synth godmother and transgender icon Wendy Carlos!

Edit: I failed-ish, that was a photo of not Wendy leaning over a synth, mislabelled. I've subbed a photo of actually Wendy (I think, I trust nothing now) and placed the photo of Roger Joseph Manning Jr in the comments. Really cool that Wendy's getting so much love on Mastodon ❤
