I guess it is time to update the #introduction.
Hi, I am Imdat Celeste (they/them; de: dey/dem).
You may call me "Imdat", "Celeste", "Imdat Celeste", "iso" (for historic reasons) or "Hi-ya".
If we know each other better, you can also call me "Yo lovely!", "Hiya beauty", "Hi cutie" and "Hello sexy" (or similar - you know what I mean). And if we know each other really well, you will know my secret name and what to use it for π
.
Nice to meet you.
First and foremost I am a human being who loves every living being on this beautiful planet and is honored to spend time with some of them.
Professionally, I am a veteran software engineer who loves modernizing ancient software by carefully, slowly rewriting while it is still operating - without disruptions.
I am married to a wonderful person who is so full of love that she sometimes struggles with the universe (or with humanity). And I am a proud father (yes, "father"*) of a woman with a brilliant & beautiful mind and a heart as big as the universe (who also happens to have Mastery of Wordsβ’
οΈ).
I love learning new things from complete strangers. The stranger the new knowledge the more fascinating it is for me.
I have a #FragMyBrain (autistic, OCD, ND) so be ready for detailed explanations, where each word is carefully chosen & positioned in the sentence, but still some will be missing.
I quickly fall in love with brilliant people with Mastery of Wordsβ’
οΈ (language mastery skills) [I just learned today that this is called "sapiosexual" π€·
].
You can always shitpost with me & talk garbage - as long as it is done intelligently, with wit & humor, and respect.
The fastest way to land on my block list is not to make a mistake, but to repeatedly make the same stupid mistake again and again and insist on it being right, or being racists, queer-/transphobic, ableist, disrespectful, white supremecist, etc., etc. - you know what I mean. There is always enough space in the "Dungeon of Blocked Accounts".
I will post about anything that my #ActuallyAutistic brain will come up with: politics (CW'ed), #Trans topics, #Musings, #WorkTopics, #Blahaj, #BlΓ₯haj, #Flutter, #Languages, #GoodMorningAgatha, #Cats, #CatsOfMastodon, #Dogs, #Animals in general, #Beauty, #Love, #TransJoy, #TransPride, #OldFriends, #NewFriends, #EnbyOnTrain, #Trainabout, #Enby, #NonBinary, #EnbyJoy, #NonBinaryJoy, #GoodNightFediverse, sometimes even #Religion, #Nature, ... you see: there is no limit!
I will add CW and mark as sensitive whenever I think so. If I forget once, please inform me and I'll correct it as fast as I can. I don't discuss with you whether something "really needs" CW/sensitive marker or not, I just accept it if you feel my post needs one.
I wear my feelings on my skin, i.e. what you read and see is who I really am, there is no IRL Imdat Celeste and a different, Fediverse Imdat Celeste: you will see a lot of π«
,π
,π
,π₯°
,π₯Ή
,π³
... and more. If you feel it is intruding, please let me know.
I come over differently, but I am also very insecure: so, I will add a lot of emojis - just to be sure.
Also, please don't expect a "normal person" here: I am completely, utterly, hopelessly an un-normal person.
Lastly, my posts may start with one specific topic but during the text itself it may just become something completely different - "Train of Thought".
Again, nice to meet you - I am always looking for more new friends...

*: I am a trans femme non-binary person. When I came out to her, my daughter asked me how she should call me from then on and since it is an honor to be her father, that, yeah, I am and will always be that.
