Based in the Chicago area.
Born on March 15th, 1988.
Sensitive, introverted, intuitive.
I'm shy and might comes across as reserved and standoffish at first, but I open up when I get more comfortable with people.
Aspiring system administrator and programmer.
I have a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from University of Illinois-Springfield.
Mental illness and mental health advocate.
Favorite things: free and open software/culture/content/access, diversity, automation, programming, logic, video games, role-playing games, language, and coffee.
I dislike monocultures, non-consensual power structures, and closed-mindedness.
He/him/his, they/them/their
I'm genderfluid. More specifically, I'm a demi-gendered man, which means I identify as mostly masculine and have some feminine markers.
I have schizoaffective disorder and OCD. I was diagnosed in September of 2007 and have been taking medication since 2006. Secondary symptoms that stem from these include social phobia, selective mutism, speech articulation issues, and agoraphobia.
I'm an atheist/naturalist and secular humanist.
Politically, I'm a pragmatic libertarian socialist. I support democracy, pluralism, and the ideals of the Pirate Party.
I'm very interested in how other people do their computing. I enjoy seeing workstation setups, dotfiles, what software and tools others use as daily drivers, etc.
