Hey all, I heard about Lemmy from Mastodon and thought I’d give it a shot. I was never much of a reddit user besides occasional lurking, mostly because the quality of discussions seemed pretty hit or miss. BeeHaw seems a lot nicer though, so I thought I’d give it a shot.

I use he/him/his pronouns. If privilege was a game of bingo, my particular demographics would likely be the free space. I try to acknowledge that and use it for good.

By day I’m a staff software engineer at a relatively large tech company (which means I write more docs than code most of the time), and by night I’m a cooking enthusiast, musician, sci fi novel fan, and exhausted parent of a toddler.

Came here from Reddit! Just hoping to talk to other people about my interests, idk how much I’ll post though lol.

I apologize for the list of labels but I’m an atheist, autistic, agoraphobic, asexual, epileptic, trans, homeschooled-until-college 28-year-old cat lady.

If you met me you’d think I’m a relatively normal person though!

I’m a theatre kid working as a data analyst in local government healthcare.

I’m trying to learn Unreal Engine 5 but I’m struggling to keep going even though it’s a lifelong dream. Though I’ve made good and rewarding progress and I took all next week off to let myself hyperfocus without getting fired.

The Wall by Pink Floyd is my favorite album ever, and the first piece of art to make me sob. Every. Damn. Time.

Computers, art, music, blah blah blah. My cats think I’m cool.
