Hi! I'm a nerdy library worker. I love many kinds of storytelling, including videogames and TTRPGs. I have successfully installed Linux on a computer. Science is cool and capitalism ruins everything. Trains and busses are cool. If there's a fire in the theater tonight, the exits are to the left. Fight for those who can't fight for themselves. They/Them 🏳️⚧️
In chronological order: SWPA, birder, bike racer, skateboarder, punk rocker, DC, bike messenger, Portland, field biologist, photographer, rock climber, throat singer, shoe maker, web developer, sewer (clothes not poop), hiker, GIS analyst, gravel biker, some of these things I still do, many not. Still in Oregon, US

As @SRLevine puts it: "Favorite stars don't cost money and can make someone smile (or at least feel seen) so I use them often. I'm not being weird at you specifically, I'm being weird at everyone."
That said, boosts = marriage proposals.

This is my Portland account. I have others. I've missed you, PDX. More later.
I'm an autistic, lesbian gamer. I live in the US, which means I'm having a very bad time.
Struggling with the fact that home is a concept that doesn't include me.
