Howdy Folx, here's an #introduction from me!

I am an engineering and environmental studies student. I'm currently interested in digital humanities and archival as well as city planning. I work in energy efficiency strategy and as a program assistant for an LGBTQ+ online community org.

I am #queer, #trans, #neurodivergent, and Burmese Chinese.

I like to make bracelets, listen to math rock, learn about the early internet, explore create. I dabble in graphic design and digital art as well.

I have never used a status focused social media platform before. I look forward to learning along with you all and growing in community.

for #trans folx in NY state

Legal Services Hudson Valley will be doing a "Know your rights" session on Jan 21st on how minors and adults living in NY state can legally change their name and gender marker. To register or for more info email esciannella@lshv.org & check their socials

The LOFT LGBTQ+ Community center also offers scholarships through their "TransMission" funds available to applicants 18+ and located anywhere in the US who identify within the trans & non-binary communities to offset medical, surgical, legal, and/or social transition-related expenses which are not otherwise covered by insurance. http://www.loftgaycenter.org/transmission

Have you ever considered being a #pigeon or #dove owner?

Palomacy can connect you to rescue, foster, and adoption opportunities! They also have bird cams so even if you're not at capacity to host you can still find some joy from their site.

Below I've included a picture of beep! Isn't beep a cutie?

tired: using messenger
wired: using signal
inspired: using nothing because I don't text much and if you try to contact me its a 2-3 week response time sorry

we should all take notes from Neopets. The number of advertisements neopets was able to engage me with for the sake of collecting what I needed for the fanciest pet ever was honestly lowkey iconic. Now that's a worthy serotonin system.

Does anyone have a personal tedtalk about #captcha because I'd love to hear. Especially regarding the ones that have you select things out of the picture grid.

tl;dr if you don't know how to use apple products please don't just give them to old folx to figure out how to fend for themselves.

me: I'm not really confident in my writing. I'd love to contribute, but I was never formally taught grammar or structure
person: that's fine, just contribute what you can and we'll work on it together later!
*a few weeks later*
person: due to time constraints we're just going to throw it into grammarly and then post it :D
me: oh no

went to a farm today and saw some cows and otters. a pretty good day.
