Month of Awesome Women: Astrid Farnsworth (Fringe)

"I've been taking computers apart since I was like, six."

( 'I speak five languages, but I don't speak Walter.' )

I don't have a fanwork rec for Astrid! Sadface! Please rectify in the comments if you have links to hand. I do however recommend Jasika Nicole's tumblr, sugar booty, where she posts art and answers fan questions and talks about queer activism sometimes and in general is amazing.
