Inscrutable melange of compassion and whatchamacallits.

My life view: Harm to a group that you're not part of will ultimately harm you too. None of us are free till all of us are free. Listen to Black women. Choose kindness.

Before you complain about how old you are, please bear in mind that I am older.

Profile pic: Me (white lady with white hair) grinning idiotically as I stand beside a very tired-looking Kamala Harris (she was visiting campaign field offices across the nation to thank her staff & volunteers after she dropped out of the race for president)
Banner pic: Photo of a small round brass utility cover (like a manhole cover, but about 6 inches across) in the sidewalk labeled WATER. There is a tiny sprout of a tree forcing its way up between the brass cover and the pavement. It's late in the day, the light is golden and the tiny tree casts a long shadow

Don't call me comrade, brother.

What's an oliphant? you ask. Well, an ancient elephant is a 'mastodon' and 'oliphant' is an ancient word for elephant, so it's clever, right? Uh...right. 🤓

When I'm not #writing #code in #golang and #javascript and even #coldfusion, I like #dragons and #books and writing #fantasy novels and playing #dnd and other totally grown-up stuff like that.

I have a #dog and feed #squirrels.

I sometimes work for the fedi and code stuff. I also publish a long server blocklist and don't like nazis. Most of the time you'll find me shouting into the void.

I have a #dog and feed #squirrels. #Vegan for the animals and environment. Parent of two children. US cit.

My political party is a molotov cocktail.

I set my post default to Unlisted instead of Public and you probably should, too.

I have done contract work for IFTAS and worked on FediCheck.
