Given that I've just moved servers from @Tech.lgbt to @Lgbtqia.space, it's time for me to give you another Introduction!

I'm Nikki, an #ExPat Brit (who is half Canadian and now a U.S. Citizen) living just west of #PDX, Portland, OR.

As a #trans and #queer person growing up in the 1980s and 90s, Music became a much-needed escape from the real world, and I ended up attending #GSMD in London and becoming a professional #Oboist and #MusicTeacher.

In 2010 I changed career. I'm the owner and co-presenter of @show@mastodon.transportevolved.com, where we try to help the world become cleaner, greener, safer, smarter and more equitable through greener transportation and clean energy. (@Aminorjourney@mastodon.transportevolved.com is my work account).

(See https://youtu.be/FBtJaqu1UE4 for that origin story)

I'm a total #Nerd, and I enjoy #cycling, RetroComputing, #OpenSource and much more. I'm married to the amazing @amerikate, and I love to #Garden. I have #Chickens, #Dogs, want #Goats, and I'm sometimes found at your local #Comicon or #Furcon dressed as @QueenieDeerhart, @ChimichangaFox, and others!
