The last #introduction I'm going to do.

Hello, I'm Anathema. I'm trans. I do computer things professionally, in my spare time I mainly don't.

I am often depressed.

I like reading, birds, photography, and rediscovering myself. Sometimes I paint miniatures or write poetry or play games.

As beautiful and terrible as the dawn. All shall love me and despair.

#trans #goth #programming

Attachments:

• A blonde woman with heavy smokey eye makeup, a low cut dress and a butterfly necklace on. She is looking seductively at the camera mouth slightly open. (remote)

I really should do a 2nd run of Disco Elysium. I saw a post about it with a character name I didn't recognize (Idiot Doom Spiral) and I think I missed that entire little group somehow

I went to Zophar's and saw that they had a patreon banner up. I don't object at all but it feels kind of like going to 1920s Paris and seeing Gertrude Stein using a grape iMac
