kae, by the ocean @k@cybre.space

Hi! I'm kae, formerly @k. In the coming days, I'll be slowly migrating my profile over here.

I'm likely not going to use the account migration feature-- I want this to be a fresh start.

I hope you won't be offended if I don't wind up following you from this account if I had before. I'm realizing more and more that I need my social media to be _quieter_, more than anything.

Still love y'all.

Did I post my squirrel here. My parents needed help with how to draw squirrel

Remember to consider supporting your local instance i.e. with patreon, most of the (smaller) instances are pretty much just one-person-operations relying on disposable income and free time in order to function.

So howdy #GetFediHired #FediHired #FediHire etc. At Zulip we're actively hiring for each of a senior-level frontend and mobile (via React Native, so still "frontend" to some degrees) engineer. I'm not super involved with either of those teams or really with the hiring process, *but* I'm quite happy to pass resumes along, and if I know you in some way, to make a personal introduction

Job is 100% remote + globally distributed, FOSS, flexible hours, etc

DMs open for q's

Every news outlet should stand up a Mastondon instance for their reporters & staff.

It’ll be great to see GivennameFamilyname@mastodon.famousnewspaper.com or whatever domain they want to use.

Built in verification. Every reporter for the Washington Post on a washpo domain. Every reporter for the New York Times on an NYTimes domain. Etc, etc.

Plus the “local” feed for each instance becomes a feed of all the posts from that institution mixed together — providing extra discovery.

Re: deadnaming

I explained to my mother that deadnaming and misgendering is like farting. If you do it by accident, and apologize, people will forgive you.

If you keep doing it, people will suggest you get that taken care of, maybe recommend you seek treatment, and ultimately avoid you.

If you bend over, stick your ass in their face, and let it rip though, then you shouldn’t be surprised people think you’re a clueless, hostile asshole.

(This is from an old post, but I wanted to keep it.)

I’m going to rebrand “procrastination” as “just-in-time personal obligation logistics”

2 years ago, I applied for private sponsorship for a refugee to bring to Canada.

The refugee is a dear friend of mine, a gay Syrian in Beirut.

More than 120 people donated to the fundraising campaign to bring him here. But now that he's arriving, I would like to get him a bit more $$, as the value of the donations has depreciated because of inflation.

Please donate if you can!

I'll always be immensely grateful for the numerous people who helped me in this process.
