In theory?
Travel, photography, gardening, building things, discovering sights unseen.

In practice?
Kinda stuck in one place at the moment, with no space to do much of anything physical.
So i tinker with software, explore protocols and data formats, butcher apps for their API, stuff like that.

This question asking game sounds like a fun way to spend an evening.
Let's see if anything happens:

Sure would have been nice if you could just buy a citizenship...

one morning of research later

Good options aren't cheap.
Cheap options aren't good.
No trans rights in any of them.
And cheap is still "cheap".

What if, what if.
What if instead of trying to get to Canada i went straight to Argentina back in 2022?
I could have had a new citizenship by
now, with my name and an F on it.

Instead of being stuck on the fourth year of a "4-6 months" immigration process with no end in sight.
Assuming i'd manage to get there before my red line of february 2026, it would be a whole another quest to stay there and get a PR.
Which is getting harder and harder as years go by, so i would probably try for 6-ish years before giving up and moving somewhere else.
...where it's going to take another 5-10 years to get some sort of a permanent residency, assuming russian passports are even recognized at all by then.

By this point i've given up on ever getting to
live with any sort of a document with an F and my name on it, and i just hope i'll manage to pull it off in time to get buried under it.

There are people out there you haven't met who will love you.
But due to a twist of fate, you will never meet most of them.

New instance, new #introduction time.

Hi there, i'm Lona.

Nomadic transbian with no real sense of home, in her late 30s, autistic, demisexual, poly, currently stuck in a quiet corner of Europe, with an ambition to move to Canada this year.

Interested in software, hardware, photography, art (drawing), playing (and making) games, biology.
Former space nerd, maker of things, seeker of sights unseen, et cetera.

I used to make a lot of interesting stuff, but it's been a while since i was in the right headspace for it so most of it is kinda dated by now.

The whole trans
🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ thing, in some way i always knew but lacked the words to describe it and awareness of that-is-real-and-it-can-apply-to-me.
Really started questioning in early 2017 after meeting and working with an out trans woman.
I've seen myself reflected in her and started wondering if i actually knew what i thought i knew.
Fully came out to myself in mid-2019, and finally started HRT in late 2022.

It's been a trip and then some, and i found out i was demisexual and poly along the way.

Oh, and i'm pretty sure i'm autistic, which i only realized in late 2023.
Somehow i've become insanely more social after that.
