A trans femby's lonely corner of the internet

Who are you???

I'm Emi, a student at [REDACTED] who loves niche communities and the software & circumstances that form them. I'm nonbinary, meaning that I'm not exclusively male or female, and trans. If you need to refer to me in third person, please use they/them pronouns, like, "They went to the park with their dog"

I do a whole bunch of work scattered across whatever hobbies have struck my interest, but common themes are:

Queer advocacy!

Non-standard chat platforms & social networks!

toki pona, and sometimes other neat language projects!

I will also be very excited if you try to talk to me about

Gender!

Neat open source protocols

Ethics & software

Sociology or Philosophy

Sustainability

Cartoons

Video essays

The intersection of any of the above

but will probably stop paying attention if you try to talk to me about:

Politics

Your very specific linux setup

Why software A is better than software B

Something I don't understand but that you don't care to explain

Do you have any public projects?

Hell yeah! I maintain a couple of Discord bots that you can find on my GitLab, as well as a smattering of other random one-off things. I also have a GitHub, although I don't use it to host projects, just to do pull requests.

I also have gemini mirrors of some of my projects here:

I've also got a small game running on Gemini over at

Something you made is difficult for me to use

Please please please tell me. I try to make everything I do accessable, but I'll inevitably miss things. If you let me know how something I made is inaccessible to you, I will make it my top priority to make sure that it works for you. Same goes if anyone, deliberately or not, uses my software to make you uncomfortable or otherwise hurt you.

Something you made is difficult for me to use because you used the Hippocratic license

Some of my code is licensed under the Hippocratic license in an effort to prevent the use of my code to violate human rights. Some people are not a fan of this license due to the fact that it means that anyone intending to use it to violate human rights cannot.

If you would like permission to use my code to violate human rights, or to let someone else use it to violate human rights, you cannot.

If you have a specific usecase that you think is justified, such as wanting to license under a different ELOS license, and I am the sole developer of the project you want to use, then you are welcome to reach out to me and I may grant you specifically rights to use my code under a different license.

If you have other concerns about this license, please first consult the Hippocratic License FAQ.

I really like security. Do you have a GPG key?

I mean like if you really want.

I'm still a little stuck on the whole nonbinary thing. Can you explain a little bit more?

I'd be happy to! I have /plenty/ to say, so please check out my full post below for more details, and thank you very much for taking the time out of your day to learn more.

Right this way!
