I started out as @monkeyninja and eventually decided I wanted to run my own Mastodon instance, so here we are. I'm a dad, devoted husband to @oceanic, DevOps Engineer turned DevOps Manager, GenX geek, #ActuallyAutistic, #Jewish and wishing Israel would just stop fucking murdering people for like 30 seconds. I write about navigating life in #chronicpain, #technology, #bigotry, #ttrpg, #politics, and occasionally I'll share some of my #recipes.

My kiddo is "The Zergling." I want them to have anonymity and I want them to feel that if what they were assigned at birth doesn't fit as they get older that they have choices. So until they're old enough to decide who they are and the extent they want their life online, you'll never see me post a photo of them and unless I slip up, you'll never see me post their gender.

Profile photo is of me, cisgender white guy, wearing sunglasses and a black t-shirt that reads "Hilarious joke from film and or television show of which we're both familiar," sipping tea out of a white tea cup.

Header is a clip from the comic "Crow Time" by Secondlina_Isa. It is a white background with a cartoon pigeon in the center, its head poking through the middle of a slice of toast with the caption "Existential Bread" on it.

If you're wondering how my bio got so long and you run your own instance, edit /app/models/account.rb and set the NOTE_LENGTH_LIMIT variable to be whatever you want.
