Middle-aged queer trans Chicagoan. Fond of the ancient world (casually), board games (medium-crunchy), feminist SF/F novels, etc..

Crossposts to
@klara5.myatproto.social; formerly @listel[l]ian on the bird site. Follow requests welcome; don't hassle me if I decline.

I write code for work and therefore have no brain remaining for hobby programming, but a long time ago I did grad school in type theory.

Profile pic: me in Rhea Ewing's FINE.

Banner: the end of the dance scene in the Utena movie.

If profile space weren't so limited, I'd be severely tempted to fill mine with the extremely niche ways in which I play against type-- ways that nonetheless feel indicative of Something.

Like, yes, I'm a transfem Linux user, but I use XFCE, 12 hour time, and US units (which I even colloquially call "imperial"!).

Or like how I'm a book queer who enjoyed Gideon the Ninth all right but really fell in love with the Locked Tomb series at Harrow the Ninth.

I guess this is what pinned posts are for.

I haven't made an intro post (or at least I haven't in a long time), but this #7Books To Get To Know Me Better thing sounds fun:

1) The Tombs of Atuan, by Ursula K. Le Guin

2) So Long And Thanks For All The Fish, by Douglas Adams

3) Never Let Me Go, by Kazuo Ishiguro

4) Ancillary Sword, by Ann Leckie

5) Imago, by Octavia E. Butler

6) All The Birds In The Sky, by Charlie Jane Anders

7) Piranesi, by Susanna Clarke

Some of these are the nth in a series that you'd wanna read in order, sorry.

What is with this fanart made to murder me specifically but that I can't explain without spoiling both Revolutionary Girl Utena and Steven Universe

"Little one, who bears up alone in such deep sorrow, never lose that strength or nobility, even when you grow up. I give you this to remember this day. We will meet again. This ring will lead you to me one day."

(I swear, if someone got her to read that line it would utterly destroy me.)
