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.

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
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.
i hate apple contd
if a user does not know how to see their settings and there are no discernible labels, how would they know that tapping the bottom right corner of their trackpad means right/secondary click. why do we even need to translate it to mean "click" if nothing is CLICKING. my user doesn't even know what a trackpad is. gah. i hate apple's design.

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!

person: due to time constraints we're just going to throw it into grammarly and then post it :D
me: oh no

This season really is stacked; Out of all of the shows so far that I’ve tried, I think I’m only dropping two:
Redo of Healer just seems like the exact type of show I hate, worse than Shield Hero and Goblin Slayer from what people say about it. Just, the worst vibes all around.
Ex-Arm. What the hell is this? Who thought they could air this? The first episode almost put me to sleep.
