It's time for a new #introduction post isn't it? I've been on the #fediverse since 2017 as @monkeyninja and I finally decided I wanted to take the plunge and run my own instance. My bio says mostly what I'm about I'm a dad, #devops engineer turned #sre manager. Still trying to figure out what flavor of #neurodivergent I am. Definitely #ADHD, maybe #AudHD...I'm still figuring this out. I always refer to my kiddo as The Zergling as I want them to have a choice about whether their life is on the internet or not. I generally write about #technology, #bigotry, #ttrpg, etc. I play #ffxiv in my free time, which unfortunately is in limited supply. Anyhoo, welcome to my new profile and new instance!

Re- #introduction (I moved servers and need to pin it here).

I am a father of two kids from #Vilnius, 🇱🇹 #Lithuania, 🇪🇺 EU. In my forties. #Neurodivergent .

Working as a web developer, mostly with #JavaScript and React these days. Have been running #Linux on my computers since ~2004. My IDE is + shell.

In my free time I play with #synths. Recovering from GAS.

Very interested in #privacy and other digital rights.

I support 🇺🇦 #Ukraine.

Since there has been a huge influx of new users, I decided to write a new #Introduction and actually pin it to my profile.
I'm pushing 50 years old and I live in a Red State that is trying to make me illegal. I'm a #pansexual / #bisexual #transgender woman married to a heterosexual cisgender woman who frequently talks about the current hellscape for people like me in my Toots.
I'm #NeuroDivergent / #ND which is probably why all of these sentences start with "I".
I've worked in #InfoSec for a little over 20 years. I've had lots of roles in #SecEng, #SecOps, and #ThreatManagement. I taught myself #Perl, #Bash, #SQL, and #PowerShell. I'm decent at #JavaScript. I can read #Python and #Ruby. I enjoy automating things and turning manual processes into scripts.
I've been the primary #CareGiver to my wife for 8 years since she developed a chronic condition and went on disability.
My hobbies including #writing #paranormal short fiction, journaling my #dreams, and playing #PCGames on my laptop and #SteamDeck.
I prefer #StarGate over #StarTrek over #StarWars. Still waiting for Amazon to do something, anything with the Stargate property.
While we loved the #ArrowVerse including #Stargirl and #SwampThing, in general we prefer #Marvel over #DC.
I'm a fan of #Horror / #HorrorFam, #HorrorMovies and #HorrorBooks, especially the existential dread of #CosmicHorror or #LovecraftianHorror. I tend to sympathize with the nameless terrors. I am not a fan of mindless slashers, unrelenting gore, or torture porn. Over-the-top, egregious gore that crosses into the absurd is fine, though, so I am a Sam Raimi fan, obvs. Also, #HorrorComedies are underappreciated.
I'm slowly reconnecting with my #Pagan roots. I knew some stuff about #Tarot and had a friend who as a tree a lifetime ago and I'm trying to rekindle that.
We've got #Cats and they are our kids. I also happen to love #Frogs, but we don't have any of those.

New instance, so a new #intro post. I' don't really know what to say so I'll extend my bio a bit.
I'm a disabled lesbian trans woman from the north-west of England. I'm totally blind and have cerebral palsy. I possibly neurodivergent in some form or other as well but haven't been diagnosed.
I've been happily married for nearly 7 years at the time of writing. My wife doesn't do much on social media so I usually don't mention her name in public posts.
of my interests include:
Music, both playing and listening. I play keyboards, drums and bass. I love synthesisers and learning how to program my own patches on the ones that are accessible to me. I have a fairly eclectic music taste and favourite genres include pop, soul, R&B, rock, electronic music and others. It's probably easier to say what I don't like.
reading. mainly fantacy and sci-fi but I'll give most things a go if the blurb grabs me.
Technology interests me, but mainly as an end user rather than messing about with servers and stuff like that, although I have done a bit of coding. One tech thing I am fascinated by though is speech synthesisers.
Accessibility is of course important to me, and I've been known to go on rants about that. I'm a full-time screen reader user. NVDA on windows and VoiceOver on iOS.
I've done a fair bit of Wikipedia editing in the past, but not much these days.
I think that'll do for now, but feel free to ask me things. I don't bight, much.
Here's some hashtags.

*to the tune of Wonderwall by Oasis*

Today is gonna be the day when I finally get back to you
Somehow, I missed your last texts, but I found them upon review
I don't believe that anybody takes this long to reply, holy cow

My brain is like a book without its binding
And all the molars in my mouth are grinding
There are many things that I would like to do today, but I have no spoons

I think maybe
I have a case of ADHD
And after all
It's my downfall

Thought it was time I posted these again... They also apply a lot to the neuro-diverse ADHD and autistic communities, as there's a lot of crossover with introversion.
